Review summary

We were on POA in 2012 - had a good time, ship was ok.  It needed a little bit of upgrading.   This time (2/18/2017) and the ship was SPECTACULAR!!!!!!  NCL completely re-vamped the entire ship!    Looks GREAT!!!!!   They added Deluxe Penthouses to deck 13, replacing what ever they had there that took up space!    This time, the Butler's were FANTASTIC!!!!  Ours was extremely pleasant and PROFESSIONAL!!!!!  We got married in Kauai and 'Peter' took care everything we asked of him!   He even arranged for us to have dinner with the Captain (w/ another couple) as well as setup up a Lava-Flow party that we had planned, and supply enough champagne for our entire group!   Everything was FANTASTIC, as this was my 28th cruise (2nd on POA) and I am telling you - they did a great job!   The ship was in her glory!    The only negative that we have to say about the whole POA experience this time around was- that they put a scale in the bathroom!!!  IN THE BATHROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!   Who wants to see what weight they gained while eating at all the 'Free' premium dining while on board (LOL)!!!!!!!!!!    Great time - POA has resurrected!!!!!!! Thanks NCL!!!!!!!!!!!
