RCCL VS NCL
I want to start off by stating I am an NCL fan and at Latitude Level Platinum Plus member and plan to be Ambassador by 2019. You don’t get much more loyal than that. We have reached Emerald status on RCCL. We have also sailed on Carnival twice and Celebrity once.
My wife and I have gotten to the point now were we typically book cruises for the number one reason of exploring the world and we mostly book for the itinerary. The second thing we look at is the ship age and size, and last, we look at the cruise line. I guess we also book cruises because of the Casino relationships and benefits. We get free cruise offers form Caesar’s Entertainment through NCL, and we get frees cruise offers from M-Life MGM and RCCL.
The only real difference between the mini suite and a balcony is the bathroom. It has a double sink and large shower that IMHO is well worth it.
Port was very busy with 6 cruise ships in port. Way to many people. Had booked scuba diving but had to cancel due to inner ear issues.
Lots of things to do our 10th visit.
We have not been back to the GSC for 5 years since it opened much improved and the wildlife is much improved we saw rays and turtles and lots of fish.
