Review summary

I am totally going to sail with NCL every time we cruise from now on.  This was the best cruise we have been on to date.  Going out of NYC was a breeze.  Food, drinks and the staff all surpassed our expectations.  All the ports were great except Tortola.  I would suggest NCL dumps it as a port stop.  The town is super tiny and you only get 6 hours there, 1 hour alone to tender in and back again.  Other than that, BOOK THIS CRUISE!!!!!!!
