I traveled with a group of 17, 16 adults ages ranging from 55 to 21, and one 11 month old. Included in the 16 adults were my husband, daughter#1, 2nd daughter's family(husband, baby and mother-in-law) and son. The remaining adults were all friends of my daughters.
I would like to start off by saying we love NCL and Freestyle cruising.
We arrived to Miami the day prior, and stayed at the Best Western Plus Miami/Doral, they offer free shuttle from the airport, free breakfast, and offer a shuttle to the cruise pier for $15pp. We were happy with the hotel and would stay there again.
As I had expected. Lots of storage. Bed was comfortable.
Was happy with the location, just two floors below the Buffet.
The pool area and beach area were both very nice. Nice place to hang out for a few hours then go back to the ship for lunch.
