I decided to go to a destination that only NCL would sail to during a period that I wanted to travel. I found out that I am a "Celebrity" cruiser. Freestyle is not for me as I do expect salt and pepper shakers (or at least packets), spoons and hot food at the buffet.

As there were 12 of us we could "NEVER" get a table for all of us unless we went to the Specialty restaurants- where the food was not very good. The Asian (Chinese) was not even up to par as compared to a NY takeout. The Mexican restaurant also served cold food.

The time in the ports were inadequate (Crete, Santorini and Corfu) to go on a tour and in Mykonos the wind was so bad that it made the time there uncomfortable.
