NCL Spirit - Bathroom - Cruise Line Fans: Cruise Forum, Reviews and Chat From Real Cruisers

spunkie · 12-31-2008, 08:27 PM

We are researching a Canada/New England cruise and found a cruise on NCL Spirit that sounds good. In reviewing some of the critic websites, there were several posts about the size of the bathroom, etc., based on the ship being originally built for an Asian market.

If you have cruised on the Spirit, I would appreciate your input. Is there any truth to the comments about the commode being very close to the floor and the space about 18 inches?

We have cruised Princess and Carnival (13 cruises altogether), but never NCL.

Thanks.

Hey Shirley

I looked at the Frommer's web site and he says this:

Quote:

Standard cabins, though not overly large compared to some in the industry (particularly those of Carnival and Holland America's ships), are larger than elsewhere in the NCL fleet. Decor is a mix, with stylish elements (such as cherrywood wall paneling and snazzy rounded lights), kitschy elements (such as bright island-colored carpeting), and cheap touches (such as some spindly chairs and end tables, and wall-mounted soap dispensers in the bathrooms). Each comes with a small TV and minifridge, a tea/coffeemaker, private safe, and cool, retro-looking hair dryers. Closet and drawer space are more than ample for weeklong sailings, and bathrooms in all categories are well designed, with large sinks whose faucets swing out of the way, a magnifying mirror inset in the regular mirror, adequate though not exceptional counter/shelf space, and (in all but inside cabins) separate shower and toilet compartments. Balconies in standard cabins accommodate two metal pool chairs and a small table, but aren't terribly roomy.

We have been on the Spirit and found nothing to be any smaller than any other ship or any other line with possible exception of Carnival. The myth of ships built for the Asian market being built to smaller scale is just that...a MYTH.

We found no diff in the size on the Spirit than any other we have been aboard.
