Our trip onboard the Norwegian Spirit was both a good experience, and a huge disappointment. First of all, George & I left on Sunday, May 14th, Mother's Day, so we didn't get a chance to spend time with our moms because we had to get to the pier. George put a whole bottle of Smirnoff Vodka in his bag, and had to give it up once we were on the ship. They found it in his suitcase. Well, one other guy ended up giving up seven bottles. They did give us back our bottle the last night of our cruise. Secondly, it rained for most of the cruise, which didn't make the situation any better.

George & I had an inside cabin, which was small, but charming. We didn't get to sleep in the Queen Sized bed that we thought our stateroom would have. Instead, it had twin beds, with a bunk bed. I slept on the top, George on the bottom. The shower was adequate, but the bathroom was too small for two people to get ready in the morning for the day, and at night, for dinner.

The Trivoli pool was mid ship. That was a nice set up, with four jacuzzi tubs at each corner of the pool. We didn't get to enjoy it, because it was raining. The aft of the ship had a tiered deck, above the kid's pool (Buccaneer Wet n' Wild). That looked like a lot of fun, and it had two short water slides. Read more
