Let me start by saying I have been on 14 cruises and 10 of them were on Princess, so I have to base everything on the Princess line. This is my 2nd cruise on NCL the 1st being in 1985. I liked it then and liked it now.
Getting both on and off the ship was a dream come true. There was NO waiting and you got to stay in your cabin until you time was called. Baggage easy to find and a cab into Seattle was SO easy. BEST on/off ever!
Cabin; while the cabin was small, and very crowded with furniture that was not needed, it was clean, comfortable, the shower was HUGE, but rest of bathroom very small and not enough room for bathroom items. Balcony was large by the new mega ship standards.
small and cramped with useless furniture. Also TV stations were not great. We got better stations when travelling in Europe.
