Review summary

Loved the itinerary..not sure we will do NCL again.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Due to norovirus on previous cruise we delayed hours to board ship and would have okay if they had just been honest. They never said what the delay was other than to say passengers had not left ship and they needed the room. Originally stated 15 minutes ....ended up over two hours. Rooms were not clean or ready until after 4 and some later. AGAIN if they had been honest I would have been glad they were dissinfecting!!

Cabin / Stateroom

We travelled with 3 other couples all with aft balcony cabins. We were fortunate to have been assigned a handicapped one so the room was awesome, especially for a 2 week cruise.
