This was our 4th cruise - 1st with Norwegian and probably our last. DD and I in our early 40's.
Cabin - we were in an angled balcony on deck 11 - beautiful cabin. Our balcony was larger without the extra cost - do your research and book one of these if you can. Our bed was by the door, we rather have it by the balcony just for space reasons but not a deal breaker. Bed was comfortable and cabin steward was great.
Beverage package - worked great. Weird that some bars only needed one card when we were ordering drinks for 2 and some bars wanted both cards. Didn't matter; just not a consistent policy.
