My wife and I sailed NCL for the first time on October 16th. From reading the reviews, we were a bit nervous, but were not new to cruising, so we knew pretty much what to expect.
Leaving -
The embarkation process in New York could not have been easier. From the time we got to the port to the time we were on the boat was about 20 minutes. We got there at noon. Once on board, our room was ready.
Room was small, but very nice. Closet and storage areas were ample. Bathroom was small, but the seperate sections made it feel bigger than it was.
