We chose this cruise because it was closer to my husband's temporary assignment in New Orleans. We have cruised on several cruise lines, and this was by far one of our favorites. The embarking and dismemberment process went smoothly and well organized. The staff was friendly and spoiled us absolutely rotten. The food was marvelous. We went to 3 of the onboard specialty restaurants and would highly recommend the Japanese hibachi grill, the Brazilian steakhouse and the steakhouse. The complementary restaurants were good as well. Breakfasts in the buffet were good as well. They serve all different types of food which should satisfy many different cultures. The ports of call were different and offered a wide variety of things to do. I was pleasantly surprised because of this cruise line's previous affiliation with another cruise line. I would choose to cruise with NCL again! We totally enjoyed our time on this ship and look forward to sailing with them again.
It was a very nice cabin. Other reviewers have thought they were dated and small. I found that they were nice sized. The closets were large and we had plenty of room to put the suit cases under the bed. It had a spacious balcony so when the curtains were open; it looked larger.
