This cruise was chosen because it met the timelines available for our two grandsons who were graduating from high school as well as most of the destinations that we thought important
That said, as frequent river and ocean cruisers we were significantly disappointed in our first NCL experience.
The definition of a mini suite was in fact no more than a balcony stateroom on most cruise lines An unexpected poor choice when traveling with two teenage boys.
Definitely not a mini suite by any definition of mini suite except NCL
