I chose this cruise for the itinerary and although not an avid cruiser, have tried Royal Caribbean and Princess twice each and wanted to try NCL, Celebrity or P&O. This cruise was leaving at a good time for my party and the itinerary just what I wanted, plus there was a great deal when I booked. Our mini suite was lovely and I couldn't fault the staff. My mum travelled with us in a cabin alone and was really looked after by her cabin attendant. I love the relaxed approach of NCL while still providing a service that makes you feel cared for. This ship was easier to move around and find a good seat in the evening than any I have tried before. Although the main restaurant was fine, I would recommend a meal package for the speciality restaurants as they are well worth the little extra. The entertainment was not great but a good as you can expect for free with the NCL team offering the best of the entertainment. I would definitely book NCL again. My travel agent told me when I booked that NCL was his favorite cruise line and so far, I think it's mine too.
