I wanted to compare NCL to the 12 Carnival Cruises (and 4 other lines) I have taken. Buffet A+ - Far Better than any ship I have been on. Great variety - Bakery also A+++
Main Dining C- (lack of quality meat, service MEH, took to long, all of the premium meats have been taken off the menu to entice you to the Paying upscale dining.
Paid Dining - EX-CELL-ENT!!! Filets were wow, the fish yummy, We tried them all. I will say although I LOVE Italian, I would give La Cuchina a pass. Nothing special.
Tiny Tiny cabin. Last inside cabin to the back of the ship. There is one foot space on either side when the twin beds are pushed together. The hallway next to it makes it a little noisy. Since it's at the back of the ship, it rocked quite a bit on choppy days (which doesn't bother me) and certain days you could hear the motor and feel the vibration - apparently it depended on the speed. No common areas below or above. The location was nice since it wasn't a long walk to the rear stairs and only 2 decks up to the buffet, or 4 decks down to the Summer Palace dining room.
