I booked this cruise for our 20yr anniversary. My wife (45) and I(46) have been on Disney,RCCL,and Carnival. This was our first NCL cruise. Not knowing anything about NCL,I was a little nervous. NCL Star made that feeling go away as soon as I step on the ship.

EMBARKATION/DIS: We took NJ transit train from Trenton to NYC and then a $11(with tip) cab ride to the pier. We got to the pier at 10:15am and checked in right away. We were sitting down to eat lunch at Versailles by 12:15pm
