RESERVATIONS
Booked directly through NCL via their website, very easy to navigate. Selected cabin, make dinner plans and paid for all in about 15 minutes. You should know that the day your cruise leaves, you are no longer able to view your reservation or make changes on the NCL site as everything switches over to the ship on departure day. (A+)
EMBARKATION
We live in Miami, but I would highly recommend anyone coming from out of town to spend a night or two here to experience some good food before you set sail.
Get up and get off the ship early to save some quite beach chairs away from the crowds. They only have 2-3 cocktail servers for 1000+ people so bring some cash unless you want to stand in very long bar lines. It was a fun day in the sun and would recommend.
Complete dump, stay on the ship and read a book by the pool.
