We are a family of five. The kids are 15, 12 and 10. We are avid cruisers (at least one or two a year). This is our first European cruise. For the most part we have been very loyal to NCL. This is our tenth NCL cruise. We have also sailed on Celebrity, Carnival, Holland America Royal Caribbean and some others that are no longer around. We are big fans of the Freestyle concept. We booked this cruise almost a year in advance and booked the flights seven months in advance.
I research everything in advance and greatly enjoy both cruise critic and trip advisor. I feel I owe it back to the online community to write reviews of our trips. I try to be as detailed as I can. Feel free to ask any questions.

This is a wonderful two bedroom suite, complete with a LaVazza coffee machine and refrigerator. There is a flat panel television in the living room, a television in the kids bedroom, a television in the Master Bedroom and a television over the bathtub. The living room and Master Bedroom have DVD players where you can have the butler bring a DVD from their on board library. You can also have the Butler bring in advance all of the ships menus from each of the restaurants, and he will service any of the meals in the suite, complete with a set table, table cloth, center piece, etc. All in all, well worth the extra money for the suite. The bathroom is wonderful. Full tub with ocean views, full shower with shower rack spray system, complete with floor to ceiling ocean view. AWESOME!
