April 2013- Norwegian Star- Embarkation- Port of New Orleans, LA
After around 20 cruises with various cruise lines, we pretty much know what to expect. We didn't like having to park our vehicle in the open lot at the port. My husband needed to take oxygen and a scooter on this trip. The crew members were very attentive during the embarkation process and throughout the cruise. We had an inside cabin, as usual. We are never in our room long enough to enjoy a window. As long as we can put our large suitcases under the bed, we end up fitting in the cabin just fine. This ship did leave two lapel pins for us, that pointed out that we had become "Silver" Latitude members. There were past cruiser parties, wine and cheese parties, good music and dancing. To have a wonderful cruise, one must study the ship's daily newspaper, to see what is going on. You can't do it all. The wider your interest, the harder it is to choose. It is a good idea to go on line and study the excursions before you ever get on the ship, ruling out what didn't interest you. That saves a lot of time.
I walk the stairs as often as possible, for exercise, and enjoy viewing the different artwork on each landing, as well as the decoration of the lobby.
