Overall a good cruise with good food and entertainment. Horrible oceanview cabin (8602) which should be sold as an inside cabin. No view whatsoever and staff walking outside your window making noises. I paid an upgrade for this cabin.Waste of money.

Review summary

Overall a good cruise with a horrible obstructed oceanview cabin and horrible disembarkation in Boston where everyone from the ship were trying to get into the few taxis available and no internet service at the port. Apparently UBER is blocked by the port of Boston since it could not pick up my location. It was chaos

Horrible welcome to Boston. A whole ship's passengers waiting for a few taxis. UBER blocked. No internet service. Chaos. NCL should demand from the port better facilities as passengers disembark.

I thought you picked an obstructed view not the made you have one? There are quite clear descriptions when you pick you room. However I had a non obstructed view last time but the window was really so filthy thick with film it may as well had been and obstructed view.

That is why I always pick my room. When they pick it you are left with what nobody else wants.

Gampy- it’s quite common. You’d be surprised! My question is if you picked that cabin yourself or if you didn’t pick a specific cabin and we’re then given it. An obstructed balcony would suck (unless it was an upgrade from a non-balcony room) but an obstructed ocean view- meh whatever. As for Uber- yell at Boston. That’s their problem. Just like how NJ used to (and maybe still does) blocks them from picking up passengers at Newark airport.

Why would anyone ever pick an obstructed view and then complain??
