Review summary

I've been cruising on NCL for years and the newer ships have smaller and smaller cabins and are larger and larger in the number of passengers.  This is not good.  This cruise was fun and exciting and overall a wonderful experience.  My balcony cabin was so much smaller than the same class of accommodations on ships I've taken cruises on before.

The highlight was the food and outstanding service in the two main dining room, Taste and The Manhattan Room.  We age at Cagney's the first night and it was great, but I won't be pay extra ever again as these dining rooms were great.  The food was just outstanding.  Also, NCL needs to do more for Latitudes Gold members like me, including cabin upgrades, preferred seating at shows and other freebees.

It was smaller than the same class of accommodation on all prior cruises on NCL that I've taken.

Ship tip

Don't expect your cabin to be the size of the same level of accommodations on older ships. You will discover it is smaller.
