7 Night Bahamas & Florida (New York Roundtrip)

Sail date: November 15, 2015

Cabin type: Balcony

Review summary

Ship is geared to please young families in activities and surroundings. No quiet areas, even the library was far too small. My cabin was my refuge. I am an older person who wanted to see a good show at the end of the day, or listen to some good music.

Alioop- totally, there are so many levels of sun deck that are quiet and when people rile up we simply ask them to observe the sign. I've never minded hearing music from the pool area above on quiet decks because it's really low. Spice H20 rear-ward is a great place once you get a spot and isn't loud either. IDK what people are complaining about but we just got back from a 14 day trip with a full boat and didn't find it crowded in any way that made a difference to us.

I agree with Not for Me. There is no place quiet on the entire ship. This includes the stateroom's balcony.

Yes we had a great time all around the ship it was coming back to the cabin at night to get some sleep that was bad.. But all in all we chalked it up to NCL giving us another balcony cabin since the one we picked was under renovation. Go figure. NCL will not be our first choice of a cruise line if we can help it But our cabin steward Garry was the best.

My husband and I found the adults only area deck to be nice and quiet, quite relaxing. Sorry you didn't experience what we did

I felt bad for the crying baby but it was the drugs they were doing that really bothered me. I love little children that doesn't bother me. It's the low class parents that do drugs and careless about there children but as long as they take them on vacation it's ok for them to be abused

U should've taken a cruise that didn't have as many children. it's child oriented, big key indicator: there are nickelodeon characters on the ship

to tell you the truth I was afraid of retaliation. I just wanted to enjoy my vacation and relax and have a good time . So I decided to try to come back to the cabin as late as possible but they would stay out on there balcony till 3 in the morning arguing and fighting while the baby cried. It was very sad. So we tolerated it and closed the balcony door. We weren't going to let it ruine our vacation.

my cabin was not my refuge. All I heard was a crying baby and people doing drugs on there balcony. I was on the same cruise on Nov 15 . so disappointed . Stayed out late enjoyed the shows and restaurants. But once I got back to my cabin could never keep my balcony door open because of a crying baby and and the same parents doing drugs
