I am not to sure if this cruise was worth the money for a Penthouse. Especially when there are very rough seas, the higher up you are the more swaying and banging you hear, so if you are a light sleeper like I am, NO sleep during rough seas. LOL my husband said they should have seat belts for the toilet, seriously there was a lot of movement. But we were told the reason it was so much swaying, is because we were on the 9th deck, and the higher up the more movement. But it is not NCL's fault for the bad weather. If we were to ever take a cruise again, we would go to lower deck, but no penthouses down there :(
So the first day, went very smooth, they check you in in a VIP area, at Miami Port, within 10 min we were escorted to the Ship, and brought to Cagney's (food was OK). Then at around 2pm an announcement that staterooms were ready so away we went. Our Penthouse was really spacious, and deck was huge. (Shower in 9275 has some tiles that look very brown and stained near the bottom, so it made it look dirty)
We received little treats everyday around 4:30pm, and towel animals every night.
