Review summary
After a disastrous NCL cruise on Epic in Jan 2013, I basically lost faith in NCL all together after 12 NCL cruises. My friend found this very reasonable Baltic cruise last November on Getaway and asked us to join them. I gave NCL another chance to see if there is an improvement in four years. Glad I did. Embarkation and disembarkation was a breeze instead of a nightmare on Epic four years ago. Weather was good over all, especially at St. Petersburg; highlight of this cruise. Service at sit down restaurants was slower than before. Paid specialty restaurants are down to one item of each category. Our cruise consultant, Harry, is great. Will book our NCL Panama Canal cruise next year with him again.
