Reading your review was good,if you disliked the ship,we would probably
like it,since you liked the NCL CROWN,and we did not care for it. But on
the other hand i know what you mean about the noise in your cabin,we had
the same things on the ROYAL PRINCESS because they upgraded us. But we
werevery lucky on our back to back on CROWN DYNASTY,we had the same
cabin for 28 days

I'm sure you would love the ship - dance floor and nice music to dance
to and quiet shaded places to lie and read. (Not that I did that)

Even though there were a LARGE number of children on the cruise (it
was fully booked and was the Xmas-NYears cruise after all so there
were at least 50 - 100 children and probably many more), I didn't see
or hear them except occasionally at dinner. They were kept occupied
although I didn't enquire how that was done.

I don't know why it is so hard for someone to understand that when I
book an inside center cabin (under other cabins and not under the
kitchen or restaurant or someplace like that) that I do NOT want an
upgrade to an outside cabin under the kitchen. You probably wouldn't
have liked it either.

I did sometimes take advantage of being able to look out the window
and see stuff that was beside the ship and wasn't visible on the bow
camera, but I would have been equally happy without it.

As for a king size bed being too big - we've always slept (for 47
years) in a plain old double bed. I like to be able to be next to my
husband and still be able to stick my foot out of the covers. A king
bed is too big for that. A queen is OK, but I feel lost in the king.
I either can't get my foot out or I can't get next to Bob. Even
though the beds were quite comfortable, I was really glad to get back
to my own bed even though it is small.

I forgot to test the temperature of the hot tubs (they do have them),
and I was too relaxed to get up and do the yoga and pilate classes.
They always scheduled the yoga at 9 am and I can't eat beforehand, and
afterwards I would have had to eat in the Lido. I'm going to have to
work a little bit to get back into shape (or as much shape as I can be
in)
