This is our second cruise on NCL in as many years. We love the casual attire policy and the freestyle dining. Having cruised with HAL, Princess & RCCL multiple times, this is our favourite cruise line.
We arrived into Copenhagen after a long flight and checked into the Hilton Airport Hotel which was a very convenient (directly connected to the airport terminal) & pleasant hotel. The room was large by Danish standard (which we were to find out later post-cruise) and breakfast was a lovely spread.
We took a taxi which was supposed to cost approx. 350DKK but as it was a public holiday, we ended up paying 500DKK. Embarkation was effortless as we were in a penthouse suite. We were met by our concierge, Hano, and escorted straight to Cagney's for lunch. A wonderful perk for suite guests, not having to jostle with the crowd at the lunch buffet.
Beautiful suite with gorgeous aft views of the unending ocean. The wraparound balcony was fantastic as we had views of the portside. This gave us fabulous views of the fjords. Of course we were spoilt with butler service, afternoon canapes daily, welcome champagne, Lavasso coffee maker and free DVDs. NCL now charges for room service at USD 7.95 but suites are exempt from this charge. We had breakfast insuite most days...such decadence to be served in the suite with outstanding views. Small peeve was we wished the balcony was deeper so the deck recliners could be side by side instead of facing each other....but hey who's complaining?
