I always choose because of the Ports of Call. If I like where the ship is going, then I sign on and this cruise was great. Been to most places but not Malta, Sicily and Crete and they were 100% especially Malta.
I had a great cabin and great neighbours who were considerate and quiet. My cabin was located in a nice area of the ship. I was travelling on my own not for any particular reason but just to travel and to see places I have not visited before. I am 75 and I guess I would have to check off the fact that I was on a senior cruise which is not true. I had lots of fun with young people on the cruise and enjoyed their conversations and I shared with them lots of tips about places I had been several times before. I also enjoyed the young crew and their zest for life.
Cruising for me is going places and seeing places and meeting people from the countries I visit. I am not interested in gaining points or reaching a certain status....I just want to learn more about the world.
My cabin was perfect and I enjoyed my time in my cabin. I had an excellent cabin attendant - John Paul from the Philippines. He was a real gentleman and I enjoyed my conversations with him. He is an excellent employee for NCL.
