I was part of a group of four people in two cabins who took a six-night cruise on the Norwegian Spirit in September 2007. Our itinerary included Canada and New England.
Embarkation: We arrived at the terminal on the Hudson in New York City at 1:45 for our 4:00 departure. The line was long, but with forty agents processing arriving passengers, we were onboard in a painless twenty minutes.
Ship: The Spirit was originally in service in Asia. Its decor retains many eastern touches. We thought the ship beautiful and more elegant than some of the other ships we had been on which tended to be garish. The ship was quite clean with the crew constantly scrubbing, vacuuming, dusting, and polishing.
