We are a newlywed couple that has traveled on 14 NCL cruises. Our most recent was the Breakaway which departed 9/1/13 to Bermuda. We wanted to try the newest ship. We have been on the Gem, Spirit, Epic and Dawn several times. This by far was the most disappointing.
Cabin: we have have window rooms to penthouses/ owners suites and decided to go with a mini suite this time. The bathroom was a nice surprise with double sinks and a large shower stall. Room was just big enough for the 2 of us. Balcony was larger than the normal. 2 lounge chairs, little table and 2 chairs fit perfectly with room.
Food: the one thing I don't love about NCL is that you pay extra for food served in specialty restaurants. In most cases it seems as though they are taking food from the buffet. Only difference is you have to pay!
Crew was constantly walking this hall....there was a crew door at the very end. Otherwise very quiet. Big bathroom with double sinks and big stall shower. Nice big balcony with 2 lounge chairs, a table and 2 chairs. No drawers, just shelves and hanging space. No magnifying mirror on vanity.
