This was our 2nd NCL cruise and our 11th overall cruise, in the past we have sailed Disney, Carnival, RCCL, Princess and NCL. We traveled with friends and we had children ranging from 9 to 13, the adults were all mid 30's to 40.

In a nutshell, we had a great trip, great food, good service, and we enjoyed the ports, we have a few issues, mostly minor stuff, nothing that would ruin the vacation though.

Travel - We flew Delta from Cedar Rapids, Iowa thru Atlanta to the John Wayne airport. We were up pretty early, on the road at 3am to be plenty early for the flight. Cedar Rapids is a pretty small airport and normally we wouldn't need to be the full 2 hours early, but with this being Easter week and the Delta website showing the flight was oversold, we decided to play it safe. Travel was easy, all flights were full and they were offering a lot of travel vouchers for people willing to give up their seats on all our flights. Read more
