A family group of 8 with members aged 19 to 75 decided to do a trip together for Thanksgiving. While we got a reasonable initial price, everything else required additional cost. Having done primarily river cruises I much prefer the smaller ships with fewer people and more focus on learning about the culture, history and geography of the places visited. But if being entertained is a priority, you couldn't go wrong with NCL as there were many options for activities aboard ship as well as in the ports. I did two excursions- swimming with dolphins in Cozumel and snorkeling in the Honduras both of which were enjoyable and we'll run. The cabin was comfortable and had plenty of room for 2 adults. Food was good especially in the speciality restaurants. Boarding process was long and laborious, lots of long lines. Disembarkation was much smoother and faster. It was pleasant being in a warm climate in November but from now on will stick to smaller ships.
