We chose this cruise because it was Norwegian and it went where we were looking to go. Neither of us had been to the New York, the Maritimes or New England so it was the perfect get away. We had a great balcony stateroom with the best room attendant you could ask for, Vee. The food, entertainment and tours were also good. We went on four Norwegian tours, one at each stop, and they were very well organized. They have a good system in place for getting you off the ship on to your tour with minimal fuss. The only problem we encountered was disembarking. We had arranged a private tour for early morning but if you wanted to get off the ship prior to 9:15 you had to take all your own luggage off with no assistance. We just had too much luggage to haul our larger suitcases off the ramps. It was not that we needed "assistance" we just needed our luggage to be down in the terminal to pick it up. I would have liked to this prior to embarking so that we would not have booked this tour.
Very nice balcony mid ship aft I don't remember the category. Very comfortable bed, roomy washroom, newer carpets and really very nice condition.
