This was my husband and I's 5th NCL cruise. My 6th altogether and I have one booked with Carnival in May. We were talked into the cruise by "Andrea Wolfe" who is NCL's main booking agent. Sure you have all heard her voice on your recordings many times. We wanted to cruise the 10 or 11 day NCL cruise to the carribean but the balcony rooms were booked. This is our first balcony room. We will NEVER go back to outside rooms again.

Disembarkation on the ship was a piece of cake as always. No surprises upon entry as I had read the CC reviews religiously beforehand (wish I hadn't). The ship is huge, but not as wide as I had expected.

The room was nice. The bathroom "water closet" was worse then anticipated. Beyond small and nobody has had the nerve to post about the tiny toilet seat! My husband and I are not big people and he had to step out of the toilet area to pull up pants every time. The shower, however was huge. The frosted glass on both, no big deal. The sink also was nice with ample storage space for all your necessities. Everyone hit the mark with the mention of a huge amount of storage in the room. Beyond what we needed. Ladies if you like to use the blow dryer, it is in the bedroom, not near the sink where all your styling products would be located. Balcony was nice but I noticed all the other ships in the harbors had a nice round table with deck chairs. The balcony chairs are small and there is a 10" stand to put drink on. All and all I liked the room, loved the view. Bedding was so comfortable and fresh. Carpet needed a cleaning pretty badly. Our room steward, Ronald was awesome and attentative. Friendly and always remembered our names and greeted us with a smile. Read more
