Hopefully the kids don't drive the MIL too crazy (well...crazier  ) I understand that NCL doesn't have the greatest ratings, but I am very much looking forward to the cruise and I am confident we will enjoy ourselves immensely.
I am fortunate that I am able to plan things like this last minute and I feel I got a great deal. The only thing I worry about is if I'll regret that I didn't upgrade to a room with a balcony, but it's a short cruise and I will learn for next time if I wish I got one. Helped keep me within my budget too. 
Everyone, and especially Gary and Carlos, thank you for all of the great information posted. This thread really gave me confidence in booking my trip.
Bon Voyage!!! Well, in a week anyway.
If anyone has any last minute advice, it's much appreciated. |
Just have a great time, Joel. This is going to be like a recon mission so you can get your head around what cruising is all about. If you like spending time in your room, balcony is a great choice. We've had every room type there is from inside to suite and it's all about what you plan to do on the cruise. I do an inside when I know I am going to do alot of sightseeing in ports. If I do a Transatlantic I book a suite. I do balcony if I want to relax and just see the islands. Food will probably be better in the main dining hall than the buffet for you on Norweigan and I always like my breakfast in the main dining area,,,it's cooked to order instead of buffet style.
