Food, Food, Food! Tons of options, some included, some part of the specialty dining package. Overall, lots of choices. I enjoyed every one and highly recommend Cagney's Steak House and Moderno Churrascaria. Aloha Cafe had a Puseortuguese beef stew that tasted like my Mom's!
Personnel - mostly friendly, helpful folks. Housekeeping staff were especially nice. Did have a couple of bad experiences with the excursions staff. They were somewhat short with me - almost like they felt I was asking stupid questions as the answers were easy (for them). I was asking questions because I didn't understand, not because I was trying to be difficult.
3 Day land excursion prior boarding - LOTS to see!!! Almost TOO MUCH to see in 3 days. I also did the 1 day after the cruise as I had a late flight. I think NCL should make it 4 days of land excursions and let people choose what they want to do which days as the 3 days were packed with activity and then the 1 day was somewhat repetitive of some of the places I had already been. Polynesian Adventure bus drivers were great!! Very knowledgeable, friendly, had a lot of tips on what to do in what order (like get your whipped pineapple at Dole early).
Not as small as I expected. VERY glad I got a balcony. Was worth the extra money
Excellent entertainment and food. Enjoyed the luau experience.
