We chose this cruise as a spare of the moment thing and were not expecting anything since this is our first time cruising. We heard a lot about other cruises but we didn't know anyone who had gone in a Norwegian cruise before so we did not know what to expect.

We got there around 4:30 pm and were allowed to go in at around 5 pm. The check in was ok and quite fast. Once we got on the ship we went directly to our room and it was nice. We had a onceanview room for three people (2 adults, 1 kid). Overall the room was very nice with a lot of space to put all your stuff but the bathroom was extremely small. Now, I am not a claustrophobic person but I could not stay in that bathroom with the door closed. Next time I will look for a room with a bigger bathroom.

The beds were put together and my kid's bed was on top of our bed. I didn't like the fact that if you open the kid's bed, we could not see the TV. Since we have a kid, we are not out enjoying the night activities so they should think about changing the tv position for parents who have to stay in their rooms at night. They should also provide a few more channels to watch (they only had the ships' channels, about 4 news channels, 1 tv show channel, 1 movie channel).

It was very clean and neat. The person who cleaned our room was named Alli. He was very nice and would clean the room twice a day!!

Pros of the room:

1. Nice beds

2. Clean

3. A lot of space for clothes and to put away stuff

4. Temperature was always cool

Cons of the room:

1. Extremely small bathroom (completely hated it)

2. Could not see the tv from the bed if the 3rd bed was opened

3. Only two channels to see programs/movies

Excellent place. Beautiful views.

It was raining the whole time so we were not able to see a lot but still, beautiful.

Amazing experience. We took a tour and the guide was helpful and while driving he talked about the landarmarks and the history of the place.

St. Maarten

The beaches are amazing!
