We started our holiday in New Orleans for a couple of days. What a great city but I guess a lot of the excitement was because of the football game. You just can't stop getting excited for the "Saints".
Let be begin by saying that we were part of a group of 14 (7 couples)2 couples have cruised before (not on NCL) the rest were first timers. Our embarkation was great - got there early & were one of the first on. No Lines. Easy & Fast. We did not go to the buffet that first day because we had a BIG breakfast in New Orleans. The Lido deck was sunny with lots of staff to begin our week of alcoholic beverages.
Our room was on the 4th level with a small porthole - which we knew about. The room was small as usual but everything fit in. I liked the idea of a door for the washroom & then a door for the shower. It meant that 2 people could get ready at the same time. Because we were on the 4th level we heard the engines ALWAYS. We never had a good night sleep so in future we will always be up a few floors.
Cabin was small as usual but had room for everything. I LOVED having a door for the washroom area & door for the shower. Very convenient for 2 people.
We were on the 4th level & will NEVER go down that far again because of the noise of the engines. We never had a full nights sleep because of it.
