We are platinum cruisers with Princess Cruise Lines. The only reason we chose NCL for this cruise was that we didn't have to fly; for this cruise NCL left from NYC and we live 2 hours away. For any other than their Canada-New England cruise, we would have had to fly to an embarkation port for Princess.
If at all possible, in the future we prefer to return to a Princess cruise.
