We selected the POA 11 day itinerary that included Fanning Island. We appreciated the opportunity to sample the ports and were intrigued by Fanning Island. This was our third NCL cruise but we found the service on board POA lacking.
The ship has great qualities; good space, room at the pool, lay out is fine and everyone complaining about the aroma on the ship should get over it!
This cruise with 4 sea days is well planned; you spend lots of time in port which allows you to see the highlights of each island. Given that, we will return and spend time of the islands that we liked! We used rental cars to get around; car rental agencies have shuttles at each pier and convenient drop off times.
