This is my 11th cruise but not on NCL. But I was excited to experience another cruise line and do the freestyle cruise offered by NCL.
The ship, Pride of America, wasn't as big as I was lead to believe by the web site but I tried not to compare it with the other cruise line that I've traveled on. Matter-of-fact, it was smaller than the smallest RCCL cruise ship.
We arrived at 6:00 and the embarkation was fast probably because we missed the rush of the noon boarding. But I have to admit the disembarkation went pretty fast and orderly.
