Cabin: Mini-Suite with Balcony
This was our third NCL Cruise. Our first ever cruise to Alaska. I should change my CC handle to "CigarCruiser" because, I will always address cigar related issues to cruising. Cruise ship musts for us include cabin comforts, specialty restaurants, and a reasonable cigar lounge. NCL continues to meet these criteria for us. We had a mini-suite category cabin on deck 8. We ate at 7 of the specialty restaurants (5 for dinner and 2 for lunch). I visited the Humidor Lounge daily. We chose the "sail away" rate, as opposed to the more inclusive rates. Our rationale is that we don't drink that much. In fact, I'm pretty sure the "Gratuity/Service Charge" of $154 per person was greater than the amount we consumed on the voyage. I didn't use the ship's internet. We bought a 4 meal specialty dining plan.
The Restaurants:
La Cuccina, Italian. I had Osso Bucco, my wife had Veal Scallopini. Very good dinner.
Cabin Review
Mini-Suite with Balcony
Cabin MX
This cabin is slightly larger than a balcony cabin, but, not much. The space results in a larger bathroom with 2 sinks. The shower was excellent. We had plenty of storage space. Our balcony was pretty large. The bed was comfortable. The service was just fine.
