DH and I are from Virginia. This is our second cruise with NCL and our second cruise ever. We arrived the day before and took the airport shuttle($15pp) to the Hampton Inn Convention Center. The room was quiet and the breakfast buffet is plentiful and tasted great. The front staff was very helpful in getting us into our rooms early. We didn't do much in NOLA since it wasn't our first time there. In the morning we were able to walk with our luggage to the pier. It was faster than taking the hotel shuttle.

Embarkation - Arrived at 11am, getting through security was a bit of a mess. The line I was on was also the express line for passengers needing assistance; the security scanner kept beeping, slowing the line to a crawl. After a number of complaints another security checkpoint was opened and things sped up. The Latitudes check in was superfast. After getting our cards we had to wait a LOOOOOONG time to get on the ship. The little sign said 12pm, but we didn't get on the ship until after 2pm and we were the first number called. No announcements were made about the delay and several passengers became irate. It wasn't until later we heard from other passengers that Customs caused the delay.

Cabin - We had an ocean view picture window cabin 5052. The room is small and a bit worn. Examples: There was no back on the remote and the batteries kept coming out, the trimming on the lamps were coming off, one shelf in the bathroom was hanging on one hinge, the red carpet was coming up in clumps and got over everything. One big gripe about the room, No refrigerator!! DH had to keep his medicine in the ice bucket. Throughout the cruise we had super slow cabin steward service. But when he did make the room it was always neat and tidy and the towel animals were great (dog, penguin and mouse).
