Sail Date: May 2007

Booked our cruise about 3 months ago for a sale price, took a mini-suite as it was quite reasonable. Found people on board who booked at the last minute and got on for about $135 for the three nights. Nice ship which was well run by the crew. Boarding in San Pedro could not have been smoother. We were on the ship by noon. Bags arrived about 4pm at cabin. Mini-suite very nice but only two usable 110 plugs and one was in the bathroom. Nice to have a balcony which we used often. The couch was hard as a rock and not very comfortable if you wanted to watch the small tv. Beds very comfortable and there was adequate storage. Nice bathroom with privacy door on toilet and nice deep tub. Ship was not full and suite next to ours was vacant unless used by the staff to make phone calls etc. Sounded like we were right under a running track the first night as there was constant pounding from above. Would have been very upset if we had been paying regular price.

Food was fair compared to other ships we have been on but for the price we could not complain. Specialty restaurants sometimes had extra charges for some things on the menu so watch that. Entertainment was poor but again that was likely because of the short duration(3 day) cruise. Wife not too impressed with the fake flowers throughout the ship. This was a great bargain if you did not spend anything else on the ship. Anyone thinking of a repositioning cruise might watch for last minute deals on this line as they almost give them away at the end. We were one of four ships that came into Vancouver the same day and the customs could not handle the 8000 people all trying to get off. Some apparently had to wait 2-4 hours for a taxi because of the numbers. We had booked a scheduled bus and had no problems. Norweigian allows you to take your own bags off to speed things up but it did not matter as Customs would only let a few people off each ship at a time. Some upset people but it was not the Cruise Lines fault. I suspect the Customs people will be better prepared as their summer students gain experience. We would consider a repositioning cruise again but would not expect too much other than the low price.
