We love to cruise any of the NCL fleet. The ships all have a unique personality created by the crew attitude toward us. This was an anniversary celebration, they knew it but at our request they didn't make a big deal about it. We wanted it to be our time. Shortly before the bookings were closed another couple decided to join us and had no problem getting a great cabin. Each time we needed to change our reservations from 2 to 4 it was handled immediately and without issue. They made it happen. I was amazed at how many of their staff could keep such a high attitude toward personal customer service. We enjoyed the free style dining experience and made use of four of the specialty dining rooms. We've been on this ship three times before but still found new items offered each day and new creative entertainment offerings we could not keep up with. We went on a cruise on a great medium sized ship that stopped at islands we already know and love but this time we never left the ship for a single excursion. I stand behind the captain's decision to cut the island hopping by one day and head home to avoid hitting the strong weather head-on at full speed. The turbulence was not disturbing to anyone I spoke with. Thanks to NCL for a memorable anniversary celebration.

Cabin Review

Obstructed Oceanview

Cabin OK

Slightly larger than the last time we were in the category room. Always maintained perfectly by our steward. There was plenty of storage which we were concerned about because a 10 day cruise means we took more clothes and luggage. Tux & gown, etc for VIP party and anniversary dinner.
