My friends were going on the 1/2/10 CTN, so we decided to give it a try, having had pleasant past cruises with NCL. I could rant and rave for a long time but I will just list my major complaints.

1. Way overpriced for what's included. Whats included is not much, forcing you to pay for extras-overcrowded main dining = high priced optional restaurants.

2. Too many people, many of whom could care less for common courtesy.For instance the Number system for boarding. We happened to have a #20 due to a disability; people with higher numbers(#25 you know who you are) cut the lines so they could get on-board ahead of their turn; And the big problem was that NCL staff were not enforcing the number sequence procedure.

Cabin Review

Obstructed Oceanview

Cabin OK

Out of the way; good view for obstructed cabin; too noisy in hall; emergency buttons too easy to bump into by accident; access from restaurant area has narrow hall with too many turns for a disabled room.
