Only our 2nd cruise. the other was Crown Princess, Traveled Jan 20 thru 27th 2008 Ncl Dawn out of Miami
Boarding ship was quick and organized about 40 minutes total.
Had a 9th floor balcony state room,pleased with the size of room and privacy of balcony. Freestyle dining was good as far as the food choices. at the beginning and just got worse throughout the cruise.
