Where do I start? LOved loved loved NCL. We have cruised several times with RCCL and many with Carnival. I consider the food, service, and rooms equal on both those lines (the boats are far more "over the top" with RCCL but that doesn't matter much to us). Let me start by saying we were three couples who are not used to be waiting on so much.

We booked (all three couples booked across the back of the 8th floor) AE aft-penthouse suite...worth every dime (about 1400 a piece but we also had 150 each in shipboard credit). The room is spacious and well decorated. The balcony was very spacious. The bed was to die for comfortable. The bathroom was great with a great make-up area. Tons of storage.

The concierge...Carlos was very accomodating...we were wisked past every line all week....staight on the boat...straight down a private elevator for debarking at every port and wisked past every line.....awesome! Read more
