    We were looking forward to our cruise for a long time and I am sorry to say that it was just Ok, not the wonderful experience that we were hoping for. The cruise out of NY harbor and off...read more

    My wife and I were disappointed by our very expensive cruise. The boarding procedures was an unorganized mess. NCL funneled thousands of passengers into a filthy New York pier for 2 hours....read more
