Cabin: Mid-Ship Balcony
This was our first cruise on NCL. Overall, we enjoyed the ship, the food and the entertainment and had a great time.
The Ship
The layout did take a bit of getting used to. We had to learn what decks you could go all the way through on and how to get to certain places. I also think the layout makes the ship feel slightly crowded in some places. But that being said, we really liked it and found it easy to navigate once we learned a few tricks. The one place that was consistently a zoo was the pool deck. Since the weather was cooler, hubby and I got spa passes and just used the hot tubs there instead of the pool deck and that for us is a good choice. The pool deck just wasn’t my thing. But if you like a hopping atmosphere 24/7 you’ll love it, we just preferred something more relaxing.
Cabin Review
Mid-Ship Balcony
Cabin BA
In general, we liked this cabin. It was your standard balcony cabin but I did love that there was an actual shower with a door and not a tube. The balcony was small but covered which was nice. We did have some housekeeping issues like a dirty balcony and once we came back to hairs in the sink that were not ours.
The big negative is that the cabin was very noisy at night with creaking, cracking, thumping, etc. with the motion of the ship which made sleeping difficult. Also both of our neighbors smoked on the balcony.
Port Reviews
Boston
We loved Boston, the sailaway was beautiful and we got lucky with perfect sunny weather, unseasonably warm for October.
