This was our first cruise with NCL. We primarily booked it because of the spa package and the drink package with the brew house on board. It was enjoyable but if all prices and options were the same we would stick with Carnival.
Embarkation:
We had no issues getting on the ship. We booked the Norwegian transfer and it went as planned. From the time we got to the pier till we were on board was probably a little less than an hour so not bad at all, lines kept moving for the most part.
Cabin:
We booked the Spa Mini Suite and the room was excellent. There was a lot of room and enough storage for the two of us. The balcony was a little small but was fine and the bed was very hard. The bathroom was perfect though. His and Hers sinks and a very good sized walk in shower. The body jets were a bit harsh but also felt good after being on your feet all day.
We didn't spend much time here. We did the Norwegian Shuttle and it was fine.
We just shopped here and it's your basic cruise stop shopping. Stores and buildings seemed pretty run down. Deals were no different than any other stop.
