I and DW went on a 5 day cruise to Canada from New york on Victory. This is our first cruise experience and we loved it.
We reached port around 12.45 pm and we had a Cat 11 Suite. So we had VIP priority boarding. It went on smoothly and in no time we were on board. Our rooms were already done. So left our hand luggage there and went to Lido to eat. After eating, we explored the ship a bit. Ship looked great and it is maintained very clean. The green decor looks good. Seven seas atrium is the best spot in the ship to sit and watch people before dinner. Our room is huge and has a separate sofa and chair. Bed is really good. We did not use the balcony very much and it was colder in evenings. But a good size balcony.
We had Norwegian Spirit docked right next to us and it sailed at 4 pm. we saw that and we went to muster drill. Our ship started sailing during muster drill. Then we headed up to Lido to watch Manhattan and Statue of Liberty. Going under Verazanno bridge is truly an amazing experience.
Cabin was 7263 which is starboard side on 7th floor. It was near the steps, but not right across. Also there is no inside room in front of us. So this is a very good cabin to choose in 11a category.
