Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We are not bothered about balconies or suites , we’re always Happy with simple inside cabin Which is fine for us , we were close to mid ship stairs and lifts so very Convenient Only minor downside was we were below restaurants above so lots of chairs/ tables being moved whilst we tried to sleep

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We got off straight away , with our own bags , didn’t wait for them to call us tbh The only criticism I would have with Norwegian is the chaos created with The tendering process for most of the stops on this cruise , it was chaos every time . Everybody was unhappy

NCL is my line of choice, but I love cruising so it doesn't really matter. Heading out on the Carnival Breeze next weekend.

We cruised on this ship in 20 02 to Hawaii and Fanning island part of Karibati! It was wonderful then!
