Thanks to our excellent cruise consultant we had another fantastic cruising experience with NCL. As usual, the crew were all very professional and willing to help. The room was very nice. We enjoyed the ports of call. Our only complaint was our disembarking times at the ports had to be adjusted, as they were not as scheduled. Our excursion times had to be adjusted also. We booked our own shore excursions through private venders, due to cost considerations with NCL. The disembarking time back in Manhattan Cruise Terminal was on time and the walk-off process went very smooth! June is the perfect time of year to enjoy these ports. The entertainment on the ship was excellent. As was expected, the freestyle, complimentary dining was impeccable!!! 5 Star meals every night. We stayed at the Hotel Edison in New York before the cruise, an excellent hotel in the middle of Times Square, within walking distance of all local activities. We look forward to our next cruise with NCL!
Mario, our room steward, kept our room very clean every day. He was very friendly, pleasant and accommodating with any, and all, of our requests. Mario made us feel welcome and knew us by name. We like having a bigger bathroom in this cabin.
We stayed at the Hotel Edison, 47th and Broadway, in the heart of Times Square. It was a wonderful hotel and very affordable. We were within walking distance of many things to see. We took a 9 hour tour with New York Comprehensive Tour Shuttle, which included all the major tourist sites in NYC. This tour was a very good value! We also took in a Broadway show, Jersey Boys, utilizing Viator for booking. The seats and the show were excellent!
