This was our first time on NCL, and sadly, is definately our last. It is the first cruise out of six that I was happy to see the end of the cruise.
The embarkation and debarkation was much faster than we were used to. Also, the UBP package was better than others on here had reported. It is all nonesense when they talk about slower service since it is free. The waiters and bartenders were quick with the drinks in all the venues we tried. Even though the drinks were free, I thought it was odd that the drink prices in dining areas were higher than in the bars.
We were a group of seven, in four cabins on the ship. None were thrilled with the cabin setup, as others have reported. The `no washroom`concept is silly in many ways.
The cabin I would describe as `built in stupidity`, so no matter how hard you try to live with it, you cannot do anything about the deficiences. The concept of no washroom is one big complaint. It is laughable if it were not so inconvenient.
Next the curved lines, all curving inward, make the bed very short even for short people.
It also curves in even further so that the big honking couch in the room is pushed way over, leaving only a path of from 18 to 24 inches from the cabin door to the balcony. What fun it was to have both of us getting ready for dinner each night, on that pathway.
There were so many nooks and crannys for storage because of the curves that we kept forgetting where we put things,
The cabin was not a pleasant place to be.
