We're not major cruise fans but we sure did enjoy our balcony suite cruise to Bermuda, so much so we are contemplating another one through the Hawaiian islands in the near future. We've heard pros and cons about NCL so I'm wondering if your over-all experience with them was good, and if you were doing another cruise would you rebook with them?

It sounds like a lovely trip and that you made the most of it. It's wonderful to have those airline up-grades, isn't it? Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I'm glad it all went well for you. And regarding the extra day at the hotel, I'd far rather be a day early than an hour late.

Again - great trip report and thanks for sharing it.
