INTRO:

I should preface this review by mentioning that my primary criteria for selecting NCL over other cruise lines (we really wanted to go on Disney again) is that I wanted a cruise line that accepted 2-year-olds in the kids' club, as my daughter was 2 1/2 during the time of sailing, and my son was just about to turn 6. While Disney has a separate nursery for the under-3 set, NCL allows kids over 2 to play with the "big kids." This turned out to be a stroke of genius, as I'll explain in a moment.

All in all, our expectations for NCL were low, and they ended up being exceeded in most areas.

Cabin Review

Penthouse with Balcony

Cabin SE

The room itself was lovely and laid out very nicely, although it was MUCH smaller than the 1-bedroom suite we had on Disney. I would say that it was perfectly wonderful for a couple, but adding the kids in made things quite tight. My son slept on the pull-out couch and my daughter slept in a pack-n-play that our room steward placed in the living room for us.

The furnishings, etc. were great and the balcony was spacious. Being at the back of the ship, we did bounce around quite a bit, which didn't bother me but might bother others.
