Traveled with children

I was nervous about the previous negative reviews, but booked the trip anyway as my family needed some sun. My wife and I brought grandpa along to help coral our 16 month old. We had a mini suite, while gramps had a interior across us. We are a very well travelled couple, who's done many backpacking trips, and a lot of all inclusives. This would be our third cruise, first with NCL.

I find the cruise population rather unique. A lot of cruisers complain about rather trivial things, or feel they should be pampered left and right, some turn off their brains as soon as they get on the ship. The worst seems to think its their given right to lambaste any staff member about anything and everything in particular. I think the worst I saw was this dolled up older lady who threw fits because she couldn't press a button continuously to get her coffee.

Let's start with the goods.
