Just completed a seven day Western Caribbean cruise on Norwegian Cruise Lines and feel the need to write a few words. There were some things that were enjoyable (the weather, the destinations, family time) and many that were less so (drunk passengers partying loudly until wee hours), that NCL cannot take the credit nor the blame. Well, maybe the unlimited drinks package had something to do with that last one. Either way, here are my thoughts on the main items of the cruise.

Stateroom – we had a balcony cabin on deck 9. It was similarly sized and appointed as one we had on a Princess cruise. The bathroom was actually manageable. Not sure if the walls were especially thin or if our neighbor was hard of hearing but we could hear his television clearly, endlessly, all day, all week. Our steward took good care of us, even though we could be gone three hours in the morning only to come back and our room had yet to be made up. But I can only image his work load so slack needed to be given.

Food – God help me for saying this, but the food in the Market Café (aka the buffet) was better and fresher than the food in the sit-down restaurants. One got the feeling that the entrées off the menus were pre-constructed long before the cruise and stored deep within the bowels on the ship only to be retrieved robotically once ordered.
