Cabin: Mid-Ship Balcony

I have never been to the Eastern Carrbean. Only ship going to that location on that date. Room servce used to be free - no more. Now charging 7/95 each time. No walk around on 7th level - small circle for jogging - too close to cigar and staff smoking areas. Elevators always full. No ablity to reach staff when usiing phone - always was placed on hold. Shows always sold out. Excursioins always sold out. Too much smoking. Almost the entire 6th floor was smoke-filled. Poor cruise director - Pedro. Nothing making the experience special. Captain cancelled Great Stirrup Cay stop but no reimbursement to guests. Poor Poor Poor. Ship is blah. Claustrophobic hallways. Nothing fancy. Wavy design makes room feel very small. Won't go on it again. Spent most of the time doing nothing. Terrible band. Annoying female singer. Nothing Carribean about this cruise. Do not do anything special for repeat visitors - I'm a Silver member and no letter or anything. Sent one to my Bronze member sister though and I paid for the cruise. Poor.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BA

No privacy - balcony partially faces another - no privacy for us or neighbors - smoking allowed on balconys - no smoking not enforced.

Port Reviews

St. Thomas

All sold out. Found my own - cheaper than NCL's but the visit to St. Thomas was cut shorter than any other ship's. We left at 2. All others left at 4 - boo.
