Cabin: Mid-Ship Balcony

We had a balcony on deck 12, found the room very comfortable, our room steward was very helpful, kind and efficient loved the balcony its a great feature on the ship. Found the service to be ok in some areas such as the bars they were just totally overwhelmed. The best service was in the buffet and specialty dining. The food at the buffet was terrific, just no complaints about the food what so ever, staff just could'nt do enough for us. The ship itself was enjoyable except for the pool, really 3 small pools for 4,000 people, went down the 2nd day at sea at 7:30 a.m. all chairs already staked out for the day yet no one occupied them for hours, why is this allowed?

First port of call was Tortolla took cab for $10 per person to Cane Garden Bay beach, what a great day, enjoyable at every turn, and our driver was very informative just terrific, excursion 2 was St Thomas we booked this with the cruise ship because of the short amount of time, what a mistake our bus was just short of a danger to your health and the drivers mic was broken so he got out at traffic stops and ran outside the vehicle to talk with us at $49.00 a person it was a rip off, NCL did try to make it right but it was too little too late.Excursion 3 at NCL own island was cancelled due to poor weather not much done to make up for this on the ship usual fair offered. Last but not least was the 400 students from Clemson UNI that were on our cruise with drink packages, nothing but a drunken free for all, they took over the hot tubs and pools were unruly and out of control and no one from the ships staff did anything about it. disembarkment is a sheer nightmare 3hrs
