We have been on several cruises of 12 days and loved them all. Ready to go again. Have a ball.

Unlike Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Disney, NCL doesn't have all the 'bells and whistles' for kids like rock wall climbing, big waterslides, etc. so it gets its share of kids, but it's not insane ... besides, we are going with our 4 grandchildren, so how can we not like kids ????? ... kids, like rock 'n' roll keep you young!!! ... ...

That's GREAT! Think of the memories you're creating for your grandchildren...and Yourselves!

You're a good man, "Mr. T."!

You could adopt me and I'd go with you.

After withstanding two major hurricanes when I used to perform shows on Big Cruise ships in the 80's I prefer to stay on dry land for sure from now on..!

Tony, sounds like you and the family are in for a great time. Enjoy the cruise.

WOW ... and what a GREAT time it was ... and the best was that the grandkids could stop thanking us ... not that we needed it - the perpetual smiles on their faces was enough ...
The weather was great - just some overcast for a while the day of departure from NYC, two evening showers while on the ship, and a brief shower on the next to last day ...
Some good talent on board ...
Matt Baker the cruise director is quite talented - sing, dance, comedy and quite a harmonica player ... Dave Heenan - really funny comedian - ...
I am embarrassed to say that as much as I liked the musicians on board, I've got very little info about them ...
"Next Stage" - a young band from the Philippines played all types of covers - Pop, Hard Rock, Country - and played them all REALLY well ...
Fire and Ice - a female/male duo ... She sang (and danced) through every song with high energy, while he did some harmonies, played some kb and kept the backing tracks going ... she did a GREAT Tina Turner revue ...
Piano players in the lounge - one male, one female - he did a Sinatra impersonation with the big stage band - band was GREAT, he was good ... He did a really nice job in the lounge, playing and singing - mostly standards ...
Reggae band at the pool was VERY good ... interestingly, alternated with a DJ !!! ...
The stage band which was very good did not get enough playing time in my opinion ... One night they had a 7 piece combo playing jazz standards in the Atrium area ... they were really good ...
Bermuda IS BEAUTIFUL ...
All in all a GREAT trip on a great ship with a WONDERFUL cast and crew ...
Can't wait to go again ...

Tony,

If I get that 41-footer Bermuda will be on the itinerary for sure. The big difference is on the 41-foot Morgan I'm really a one man band--captain, first mate, crew, cruise director, chef, waiter and entertainer, all in one, old package. Sounds like you had a wonderful cruise.

Give my best to Lydia,

Gary
