NCL Spirit - New England Cruise Oct 21 to Oct 27, 2007

My friend Betty and I took this cruise. It was my second NCL, and her first NCL, we've both cruised before. My only other NCL cruise was on the Majesty out of Charleston and while I enjoyed myself with my family, the cruise ship and other things just did not impress me. So I've been hesitant to book another NCL until now. The New England destination is just what we wanted, it was out of New York which meant no flying, and the price was right, so we said, what the heck! And I'm very glad we did.

The NCL Spirit was wonderful. The ship is beautiful, and well maintained. The Asian influences are tasteful. Because of this cruise, I will definitely book another NCL cruise. I read these message boards before we left and was a little worried because there seemed to be many more negative reviews than positive. People gave poor ratings to the food, the beds. Reviews said the ship condition was poor and the staff was grumpy. I am happy to report that none of these things were true for us. We felt the food was pretty darned good in most cases, and on formal night we both ordered 2 lobster tails. We asked about the 2nd one when they only brought out one each at first (and panicked because God forbid we don't get our TWO lobster tails like we didn't already have enough food...hahaha), they said, we'll bring them out when you're done with your first one, we don't want it to get cold."
