A wonderful holiday cruise! The ship & itinerary was perfect for us. The entire cruising experience was flawless, enjoyable, and memorable.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Baltimore embarkation is consistently smooth and easy. NCL provided bus transport from their parking lot to the terminal. The port employees are very friendly and helpful. Baltimore is a great embarkation port for the medium sized ships.

We enjoyed all the dining venues: MDR, Cagney's, LeBistro, & the Buffets. The thin crust Pizza @ Moderno was especially delicious. Great food choices on the Christmas & New Year's menu. Food was awesome for all meals in every dining venue.

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Ship was clean & well maintained. Layout was passenger friendly and easy to maneuver.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We specifically chose this slightly obstructed view cabin due to it's location on the Promenade deck. So nice & convenient to access this deck by the exit door a few feet from our cabin. No need for a balcony stateroom since we had an entire outdoor deck. Our cabin was roomy, quiet, & comfortable with lots of storage. Our Cabin Steward (Asep) was superb. He kept our cabin clean & well maintained.
Ship tip
Spinnaker Lounge is a hidden gem. A relaxing venue with an awesome view. We also enjoyed the music & atmosphere at Windjammer.
Beautiful port stop on Christmas Day. Bus tour was a perfect option since many places were closed. Watching planes take off & land at Maho Beach was awesome.
We really liked this port. No tour, we walked to their vibrant town & really enjoyed our day. We would like to return for an extended visit to this beautiful & friendly island!
Another beautiful island. No tour, we walked to town from the port & enjoyed that bustling area. We took the sky ride to the mountain top for the gorgeous view and a Bushwacker.
A short, but special stop on Christmas Eve. The port area was lively & festive with the locals celebrating the holidays. The Fireworks throughout the city were the icing on the cake adding to the Happy & Merry atmosphere!
And once again, another beautiful island. A short stop, so we just explored the port area. Definitely an island we'd like to return to see more. So pretty!
We did self assist, so it was easy & fast. Face recognition @ immigration made for a swift exit from the terminal. NCL bus was waiting outside with a quick ride to their parking lot.
