For our 40th Anniversary we decided to fly into Venice a couple of days early to acclimate before the cruise.
NCL handled our pre-cruise hotel in the quaint village of Quarto d'Antonio a short 29 minute train ride into Venice. Additionally, we were transported to the pier on the day of the cruise. Embarkation was a breeze.
Ups and downs:
Cabin was aft-facing with a wrap-around balcony. The balcony accomodated two chaises and a small coffee table. One critique the cushions on the chaises had seen better days and needed to be changed. Our butler and cabin steward were perfect earning additional gratuities for jobs well-done.
