  1. Thanks so much...I guess if you need an early breakfast (ie.we have an 8:30 am excursion scheduled one day) you have to order room service?...or is the buffet open yet?...Im big on breakfast...sorry if I sound obsessed! :D

     

    The buffet opens at 7:30am.

  2. POA isn't a "true" NCL ship. She was originally designed for the United States Line, but the company went bankrupt before she was completed. NCL bought the design and hull and towed it to Germany to complete. They did make some design changes, but it was too late to change everything, including the tiny cabins :).

     

    Thanks Champion Cruiser that explains it.

  3. go to ncl.com and other sites to compare stateroom sizes.

     

    In general, cruiseship cabins are small. They work okay though. They are fine for two people. Not so great for more.

     

    Not sure how many you are putting in cabin.

     

    There will be two of us and we both sailed NCL Star and those cabins are larger than POA, the agent actually found my cabin on the Star, compared the two and there is a noticable difference between them.

     

    There's a difference between average size cabins and small cabins and based on comments by others these cabins are small. As I mentioned I've been on several Carnival cruises (cruising Sat on the Liberty), RCCL (whose cabins on older ships are small), Holland America, and NCL so I'm familar with cabin space, the question now is will it be so small I can't adjust which is why I got a large balcony to help with the cramp feeling. If I could aford it I would get a suite.

  4. Thanks everyone for your imput, I'll take some time to decide whether or not I can take the smaller cabins and if I can't, I want be going to Hawaii via POA. No matter how port intensive the cruise, my space is important to me especially now that I can longer party till I drop, sleep a couple of hours, then head out again; but I get the point.

     

    Just curious, does anyone know why NCL has a ship with such small cabin space that was built in 2005?

     

    I think I'll call NCL to switch agents, I still can't belive I booked with him.:confused:

     

    Thanks Again

  5. Hi,

     

    I'm booked next year on the Pride of America B6/cabin 12504 and I'm concern about the cabin size. The NCL travel agent wasn't helpful at all when I asked questions about the cabin; I felt like he was a used car salesmen:), so now I'm thinking about canceling and starting over.

     

    My main question to him was how large are the cabins not including the balcony, and are all the outside cabins with balconies the same size minus the balcony. Cabin 12504 does have a large balcony but I could never get a straight answer from him, he kept selling me on NCL by bad mouthing Carnival. I can't believe I even booked with him, I should have hung-up the phone.

     

    Does anyone know about the cabin size on the POA or this cabin in particular?

     

    I've sailed on NCL before alone with Carnival, RCCL, and Holland America so I'm not new to cruising.

     

    Thanks

    Sheila
