Background Information

This was our fourth cruise on the Spirit and 6th on NCL so I think it's fair to say that we know her pretty well and, yes, we love NCL. We hadn't sailed on her, however, for about 2 years so we were curious to see what shape she's in these days. We were pleasantly surprised to find her in quite good shape, despite the less-than-enthusiastic reviews you might read here. We don't nit-pick nor do we purposely look for bad stuff, as some reviewers seem to do. We are charter members of the Sunshine Cruisers so if you're the type of person who totally freaks when your waiter can't remember your favorite beverage on the second night or your room steward forgets to leave a towel animal for your kids then STOP READING NOW! "Any day on any cruise ship from any cruise line is better than a day at home." is our philosophy.
