We just returned from are Bahamas cruise on 3/01/08-03/08/08. I have been on 7 cruises and my husband 3. This is our 2nd time with NCL, having sailed the Dawn in November of 2006, same itinerary.

After my sailing on the Dawn I was apprehensive to try NCL again as we just had too many issues aboard the ship that weren't addressed. Because my husband does not like to fly, this time of year we are very limited as to where we can go, so we chose this ship and ONLY because it was brand new and because of the new Freestyle 2.0...which I saw no difference.

The room was a balcony and had plenty of room for the 2 of us. Nicely decorated with plenty of storage for all of my bags that I overpacked. Actually I found the entire ship to be decorated quite nicely and did not really find one area that needed to be changed. We went in every public area on the ship even if it was just to look. A hint for future cruisers...if you want to see a show in the Spinnaker, get there early as there is no where near enough seats for a ship of this size and you will be standing.
