Cabin: Mid-Ship Oceanview Picture Window

This was our 2nd cruise on NCL. The cruise ship & staff were excellent!! Had only one issue with a waiter in Windows restaurant for dinner one night, he was very insistent to rush us through dinner. We just slowed him down & that was the end of it, he got the message. Other than that one time, we have no complaints with any of the restaurants, buffets, bars, etc.

Our steward Gede was wonderful, very attentive & greeted us by name every time he saw us & was ready to get us anything we needed immediately. Our cabin (6068) was very nice. Larger than our cabin on the Norweigan Sky. It was very comfortable. A little getting used to with the bathroom set up, but actually having the toilet in a separate compartment was really nice, gave some privacy if someone else was showering, etc.

The shows were fantastic!! We went to a show every night & were never disappointed. We usually ate in Windows or the Garden Restaurant, had 1 specialty dinner in Le Bistro & ate a couple of times at Raffles. Overall the ship was wonderful. We prefer a smaller ship. Many people spoke of the larger ships (4,00-5,000) people being better, but I don't think that's our style. Maybe we'll try one some day just to compare.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Oceanview Picture Window

Cabin OB

Our cabin was really nice. Spacious with lots of storage space. Double closet, plenty of hangars, five side shelves in closet as well as 4 drawer in dresser. Desk with a drawer. I was given a hint to take along a over the door shoe bag & hang it on the inside bathroom door, this worked great!!! Kept everything in its place. A pocket for everything. The sink area is small, so this was a terrific suggestion by another cruiser!!

Port Reviews

Key West

Been to Key West before, so just took a trolley ride ourselves.

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

It was nice, better for kids. But we had a good time.

Ocho Rios

Dunns River Falls was fantastic. Booking along with Bamboo Beach was not good. Our guide Amoy wanted to rush us off the falls before we finished. We didn't allow that. We finished the climb, it was great. Bamboo Beach & the BBQ was a big disappointment. Not a nice beach, can't wade into the water, you just sink down into the sand, can barely get up without help. Would not book with Bamboo Beach again. The Falls however, were fantastic. Not to be missed.

Great Stirrup Cay

We've been to GSC before, it is a really nice beach. Although the day we were there was VERY WINDY!! Rough ride over on the tenders, but we made it there & back ok. The food & drink were very good, big selection & fresh & hot. Something for everyone. NCL did not disappoint on this stop.

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

Getting onto the ship in Port Canaveral was a breeze. We got there at 10:30 & waited for just about an hour before we were allowed to get on the ship. There were lots of NCL staff around to answer any questions anyone had. NCL staff is very friendly & helpful! We did not run into one person on land or on board that was not nice.
