We had a group of about 56 people which was a good combination of Parents in their 40's and Boys and Girls sailing as their Senior Graduation Cruise from High School. Our rooms varied from Inside Cabins, to Suites. This review is about the Garden Villa and in general, booking a group on NCL.

We arrived around 11 am at the port and were taken to the Suite Check In. The room had refreshments, but is fairly small and only fits a few groups at once. We checked in and there were 8 of us for the Villa. Once we checked in we were sent to a waiting area and spend about 45 minutes there. When the let us on, it was a bit chaotic, unlike my previous cruise on NCL in a suite. Perviously someone came and got us as a family and brought us to the room. Here we all just got on and found the room and did not see the butler or concierge.

The room itself is fantastic. 3 bedrooms and a huge living area with a bar, piano and couch as well as a TV. You overlook the Lido deck and the view is very nice. But, the best part is the outdoor, private courtyard. It has a table under cover for about 8, a hot tub and then some lounging chairs in the main floor and then up the stairs there is a hammock and loungers. Read more
