Cabin: Mini-Suite with Balcony

Embankment went smooth but don't understand why you have to pick a time to get to cruise port cause it made no difference you still stood in line. The cabin we chose was a mini suite. Elderly persons be aware that this cabin has a bathtub and the shower is inside the tub. I am short 5'1" and it was difficult getting in the shower. My cousin is about 5'7" and she kept hitting her leg getting in and out. Our ages are mid 60s. If you do the Canadian ports when you get to Bar Harbor Maine don't choose a taste of Bar Harbor. That excursion was a rip off. Very little samples of anything on that excursion. The shows were not what was on the web site, I was looking forward to the Country show and they never had it. Be aware that whatever is served in the Buffet is served in every single free dining experience. I loved the Cagney Steakhouse but personally I did not care for the Brazilian Steakhouse (Modero). Not enough activities for adults on days you had a short excursion. I would go with Norwegian again but not this particular ship. They need more comfortable seating in the atrium and bars. Chairs, couches are hard and not comfortable.a lot of the seating was made for persons who have long legs, persons withshrt legs cannot touch floor and if you scoot back in the chair the end of the chair hits you mid calf which is highly uncomfortable. Disembarkment and customs in New York was ok but if someone is picking you up you have to was

Ok across six lanes of traffic and wait across the street from the cruise port.

Cabin Review

Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin MB

See description above. Our cabin steward Neil was excellent. He saw to it that we had everything we needed. See comment about bathtub in room above. Just inside the cabin door was a 2 shelf thing attached to the wall and we had no idea what that was for. It was just an inconvenience. Room had looks of drawers and plenty of room for luggage.
