We are experienced cruises and travelers that always look for value for our dollar no matter what location or means of travel we have chosen.  Our first NCL cruise was no different. 

We stayed at the Marriott Renaissance Time Square in NYC prior to our April 18th cruise to Barcelona. This hotel has a prime location and we found that the convenience of the location was well worth the price. As a surprise for my DH I hired   realnewyorktours for a 6 hour private tour of NYC. It is rated the #1 NYC excursion for a reason, it is fantastic. Our guide was Zac  who was a born and raised New Yorker who gave us an upbeat history lesson on NYC as well a pop culture tour. All I can say is after 24 hours  "I love New York" and will go back in a heartbeat, if only the hotel rooms were not so expensive!
