I wrote a review of the spirit based on staying in a butler/concierge suite for an Eastern Caribbean itinerary. If you read that review you could see my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and that is why we booked the one night cruise on the spirit sailing on 10/11/08. The one night cruise was a fun little getaway however there was a huge difference between the two sailings. ...
WE ARE: Seasoned cruisers Marla (51) and Jorge (51) along with my co-worker and her friend Rachael (20) & Freddy (23) first time cruisers.
EMBARKATION: arrived at the pier at 10:20 a.m from the Bronx (left the Boogie down Bronx at 9:55 a.m.) - easily parked RIGHT next to the ship (WE SAW OUR CAR FROM OUR CABIN WINDOW WOW) $30 for the night either cash or credit cards acceptable (we used ...
We decided to take a one night cruise to nowhere because cruising is our favorite way to vacation, and since we just got back from a May cruise on the Dawn to Bermuda, we couldn't afford any longer than one night! So when I say we, I mean my boyfriend and I, (both in our mid twenties).
We took the train in from CT, then walked from times square to the Port. Not too long of a walk,although we ...
Having been on Celebrity, Disney, RCCL and Carnival, I must say this was the worst cruise line I have ever experienced. Always wanted to try NCL and thought that the one-night might give me a first hand experience before booking a 7 night cruise. I am sure glad I did.... First, going out of New York is horrible. The pier is old and dingy - I know that the port is close to my home in ocean city, ...
My husband and I are both in our early 30s, we have been on 8 cruises together - this was our 4th on NCL. (Others were on RCCL) We were just on a 10 day Canada/New England cruise last month (Norwegian Dawn), but we booked this "Cruise to Nowhere" as a way for my aunt and uncle (late 40's) to try cruising for the first time. We thought it would be a great introduction, and a fun night away... ...
Background: Fiancee and I are in our mid to late 20's. We traveled with my mom (late 50's), his parents (early 50's) and his younger sister (17). We have sailed only Carnival prior to this, first time for my mom and younger sister. FI's parents last sailed 25 years ago. Our cruise to no where on the Spirit was a great weekend had by all in our party no matter the age! We had no flights as we drove ...
What a great way to spend a weekend!!!! We boarded at 12 noon and after no wait at all to check in, headed to a wonderful lunch in the Windows dining room. Whoever recommended the cold banana soup--you were right, it was delicious! And I NEVER order anything like that.
After lunch our rooms were ready. We had an inside category I on the 10th deck and it was a little larger than I anticipated. ...
Went on the Norwegian Spirit for the October 20th cruise to nowhere. Boarding the ship was a breeze. Got there at 12 noon and there was plenty of parking at the terminal. Went down the elevator and breezed right through the check in process. Once checked in, we immediately went on line for dinner reservations as we wanted to make reservations for Cagneys. It was already filling up pretty fast. ...
I booked this for our 9 year anniversary. It was night out without any kids and would be a taste of our first cruise. I honestly have say that we really enjoyed it. Well worth the price of $130 per person for a balcony stateroom. Ship was clean, crew was very friendly and helpful, although some were a little clueless. For example, when it was time to disembark we asked a crew member what we had ...
Our cruise to Nowhere was on September 29. We live in Staten Island so my son and his girlfriend picked us up at 10:30 AM and because of horrendous traffic, we did not arrive at the Pier until 12:15PM. We were lucky to find a spot in the lot as it was almost filled up. There were 2 other cruise ships in dock that morning. Took elevator down 1 floor and waited on a long line which moved pretty ...
