I chose this cruise because of the fantastic Cyber Monday deal they offered which included unlimited adult beverages, 3 specialty dining meals, 250 minutes of wifi, and $50 off 3 shore excursions. Totally worth the price of the cruise! The staff was so friendly and helpful - not a single question went unanswered. The excursions were lots of fun! The leaving and returning process for excursions was so simple and quick moving - a definite plus and the prices seemed reasonable. The maps throughout the ship were very helpful. I'm completely addicted to having a balcony - nothing else will do from here on out! The casino was small and very smoky, but I suppose that's to be expected. My only real complaint is that I was charged twice for an extra tip that I left at a specialty restaurant, but it wasn't a big deal. it was a great first cruise experience and I will definitely travel with NCL again!
