We had a great time on this cruise. Embarkation when very smooth. Remember there are hundreds of people arriving at the same time. You will have to wait. NCL did a great job. We were #9 boarding. The first night was very crowded in the dining room, but improved during the week as people got more comfortable with things. The first day was our only sea day and the buffet, etc were crowded but they opened additional seating in La Cucina and that helped.

Our first port was Halifax, we did an excursion through the ship. Peggy's Cove and the Titanic Cemetary. It was just the two of us so it was cheaper and easier to go through the ship. In canada they like to charge taxis by the hour so if you have a group that would work better for you.

In St. John's we did the jet boat ride at the reverse falls. I booked it through them directly and it was much cheaper with a 10 min taxi ride of 10.00. The ride was amazing, you do get wet. We ended up not using our change of clothes and just took a taxi back to the ship wet. Read more
