This trip was on my Bucket List! This was our second cruise with NCL and I do like the free style feeling. We only brought casual wear. The Pride of America ship was nice but this one seemed little older than the Jewel that we took last year. We upgraded to balcony and LOVED it. We had jet lag for several days and some times we just chilled on our patio and looked over the water and ordered room service. The room was ok but the bathroom seemed so tiny compared to the Jewel Ship, and on the Jewel we had the best pillows ever! They were like those Gel Pillows and we didn't expierence those on the Pride of America. For some reason we weren't crazy about the food, I realize they have to feed over 2,000 people and basically how do you keep it all warm and different. Many times the food just was never hot, and by the end of the week it just wasn't applealing anymore. Same O Same O. We did enjoy the free dining rooms and never did upgrade to the the paid ones. I figured we paid enough for this cruise.

The East meets West Dining was very good if you like Asian Food. Because of our Jet Lag We never could stay up very late for some of the entertainment but overall it was a very relaxed cruise.
