We are a 50-something couple from Florida that sailed 11/6-11/13.
We arrived at "crush hour" (as I called it) for embarkation (our mistake) and ended up waiting nearly an hour to get onboard. When we finally reached the check-in desk, we were taken to the VIP area, much to our surprise! The VIPs were taken to the front of the line to get on the ship and introduced to our concierge, Anoop, who provided his phone number for whatever we needed. We were then invited to have lunch at Cagney's which was amazing! The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was very relaxing.
Our room was ready just as we finished lunch and our luggage arrived shortly thereafter. Our oceanview room had plenty of room, plenty of storage. One change would be to eliminate the segregated bathroom as it is too small to segregate (and we were told by NCL that the segregation is being eliminated...yeah).
