Creator's Key Takeaways

We actually went on this cruise with a pretty big group. We went with our kids, Chad's ex-wife, her son, and her parents.

The pools were one of the main reasons why we booked the trip because the kids wanted them.

Overall, we did have a good vacation. The ship itself is nice.

NCL we would say isn't our favorite cruise line compared to other lines we've been on, but that's just personal experience and preference.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try the Speedway for a unique race car driving experience.
Consider the Starbucks package if you plan to visit Starbucks often.
Try specialty dining if you have a smaller group.
