We chose this cruise for the value & boarding from Miami where other family members were boarding. We were disappointed in various areas; the size of the bathroom was extremely small, even though we had a balcony, we found the cabin to be small & uncomfortable. The frustration on day #1 of securing a restaurant reservation for the group (6 of us) - we were told by the restaurant reservations desk that EVERYTHING was booked for the week!! This was unacceptable; we had a coupon for two restaurants, but the rest of the group (4) did not, they were ready to pay and drink, so it did not make sense to us - worst of all, when we finally went to the restaurant on our own & were sit within 15 minutes of waiting, we noticed throughout the time we were there tables of 6 available!!?? & we were only able to get our reservation due to the excellent service provided from "Holly" at the Next Cruise, Latitudes Desk; thanks to her, we were able to use our second coupon at Cuccinas, due in large part to her attention (she sent a platter to my sister's cabin), we purchased $1,000 in Cruise Next....We are complainers & pretty much "roll with the punches", but it was my sister's birthday & we wanted to celebrate at one of the specialty restaurants so this was very disappointing...

One last suggestion? MORE SITTING AREAS! We have been on many NCL ships - we found this to be by far the worst as far as this was concerned; DECK 7 had a few lounge chairs, which were quickly snapped up by readers...again, we found this unacceptable for those of us who wanted to "sit around and enjoy each other's company...
