After my DH initial cruise 40 yrs ago that consisted of me being sick for first 3 days in an inside cabin and DH getting ever sicker on the last 4 days of this honeymoon first time cruise, his position was never again. He stuck with it while I pursued cruising with my sister and family and loved it. I begged him to try again during those 40 yrs, but no, never again. Last year a neighbor mentioned this cruise and my DH said, let's go on that with them!! Not waiting for him to over think this, I quickly made reservation and he loved it. No seasickness. He loved the socializing, the bars, the anytime meal time. Has some mobility issues these days so shore time was minimal. Had everything possible just in case sea sickness came back, including prescription meds, wrist bands, OTC meds and made sure he took a RX pill every day for 3 days - never go sick and stopped taking them on day 4. We even had some rough water going to Costa Rica which woke him up so he could give me a pill, but never felt ill just sad we could dock because of weather conditions. The room was a mini suite that had everything we needed, coffee, TV, balcony, great location near elevator for him. Took about 2 days and he knew where everything was. I am a big casino fan, so that too was great and came out on the + side. We left on his birthday which helped getting over that hurdle. Embarkation was a little stressful to start with as he needed a wheelchair to get him on the ship and the wait took forever, but disembarkation was a pleasure. The room was always well tended, crew always available and friendly. It was such a great experience for him that he wanted to take another cruise! So I've booked us on another NCL out of Tampa for 7 days. He thought that was too long to wait - can you believe this? Now I have a cruise going in July on Princess followed in November with another NCL. So, yes, I'm very happy with the experience, with NCL and best of all I now have a DH who loves to cruise and it only took 40 years!!!
Perfectly clean, everything worked, easily accessible, little noise from above dining area, but nothing to complain about.
It was not clear for wheelchair guests how this process worked. You sign up for a wheelchair and then told to sit in a section and wait - how long? No one knew. It took about 1 1/2 hrs.
