NCL.  Large ship, works for us just fine.  I spent a lot on excursions on this one.

I’ll be there

I'll sneak a couple into my luggage.  We actually have a tour of Oman scheduled.  Oh, man.



2,402 guest capacity, 1,037 crew.  It's one of their smaller ships, built in 2006 and recently refurbished.

This is a pricey cruise for us, I used the last of my options to cover it.

We use cruises to explore places we can't readily access on our own, and to discover a location we think we'd like to return.  The European cruises work well for that, we get a day or two in a city and move on without unpacking.  I have not done a Viking river cruise, we did one with a no name operator.  It was OK.

We're looking at Asia next, maybe.

Anyway, the size of the ship is not a concern for me personally.  We get a balcony suite which helps, but gets pricey.  

There won't be many kids on this cruise.  There haven't been many at all on our European cruises.

I have 3 cruises coming up.

Next Week - Key West & Bahamas

In March, taking my kids who live on the west half of the country on a mexican Riveria cruise

In April, taking the kids on the east half of the country on a Bahamas Cruise.

We enjoy cruising.  Many times if it is a place we have been to before, we just stay on the ship and enjoy ourselves on a mostly empty Boat.

Went on a Western Carribbean cruise at the beginning of December.  Was great, almost no children on board. +

Had a Northern European Cruise booked before Covid broke out, Haven't rescheduled that one.  Original plays were to go a day early spend it in England and stay 2 days after and spend it in and around Paris.  Maybe later this year or next. 

Oh and yes, balcony is a must. 

Haven't done a viking river cruise yet, but definitely something we are considering.
