This was to be my first experience of going on a cruise as a solo traveller so I was concerned that it should be as easy an experience as possible, my cruise consultant assured me that if I booked my flight and transfers with NCL then it would mean I could relax should anything go wrong.
On arrival at Venice airport the NCL representatives directed me incorrectly and I ended up lost outside of the airport building, after an hour I was eventually dumped at the keyside where there was no help and guidance to embark and I found the whole thing very stressful and could have quite easily just turned and gone home.
Even though I had a midship balcony stateroom and was on my own the cabin was extremely small and I had to put a chair onto the balcony to enable me to get around the cabin easily. The bed linen was grey and shabby and the towels very worn out and stained.The bathrooms themselves were quite spacious and looked as though they had been recently refurbished.
Good position on ship with a nice balcony .
Easy to get to the other areas of the ship without needing to use the lifts.
The bathroom is good but the cabin is one of the smallest I have been in.
It is ok if your neighbours are quiet ,if they are not then it spoils the cruise.
Its time NCL banned smoking on balconies nobody wants that horrid smell drifting into their cabin.
