We cruised from New York to the Caribbean (Puerto Rico, St Thomas, St Martin and Tortola) on the 11th April 2016 (10 days)
Our first thoughts were that we might get caught up in the New York School Easter Holiday period and have too many young cruisers aboard and secondly that the ship seemed to have a "party" reputation.
On both counts these did not come to fruition. We missed the main school holiday period and the atmosphere on board was overly biased towards the younger or middle age ranges and we enjoyed the whole experience. This was our first NCL cruise, although we have cruised many times before on many other lines. We were particularly drawn by the cruise destinations.
Enjoyed a horse and carriage ride for one and a half hours
Went up to see the view
Went passed on the cruise ship
We walked to Grand Central via Times Square
2 hour taxi tour around parts of the Old Town, Newer side of town and some Island views
very colourful and worthwhile visit
Island and city tour for 3 hours
It was a perfect Caribbean beach area
