We had booked this transatlantic cruise far in advance and joined the roll call early on. NCL’s freestyle dining allowed us to meet more interesting people than we have ever met before. I think the people onboard were the highlight of our experience!

Pre Cruise: We flew into Fort Lauderdale and had booked QLS (Quality Limousine Service) which turned out to be quite a disappointment.

The beds were heavenly with firm and soft pillows for each guest. We made our reservation for the free shuttle when we checked in.
