Additional details
We cruised from New York to the Caribbean (Puerto Rico, St Thomas, St Martin and Tortola) on the 11th April 2016 (10 days)
Our first thoughts were that we might get caught up in the New York School Easter Holiday period and have too many young cruisers aboard and secondly that the ship seemed to have a "party" reputation.
On both counts these did not come to fruition. We missed the main school holiday period and the atmosphere on board was overly biased towards the younger or middle age ranges and we enjoyed the whole experience. This was our first NCL cruise, although we have cruised many times before on many other lines. We were particularly drawn by the cruise destinations.
