That might be the best way to go, thanks.

Thank you all, great information!

I guess that’s something to consider.

Neither of us are the partying type these days. I was looking at Port Canaveral cruises because we normally try to find a rental for a couple of weeks in the Orlando area so that port is closer. We enjoy eastern or southern Caribbean so Tampa would not be an option.

Thanks, that’s good to know.

We are booked on the Escape for a New England/Canada cruise the September. This will be our 6th cruise. The 5 previous cruises were on smaller ships such as the Pearl, Jewel, POA. I'm looking forward to cruising on a large ship. My wife is concerned with the amount of passengers, which I understand. I'm looking at booking the Escape again for March 2024. She wants to see what the large ship experience is like before we book again. I'm not sure how to alleviate her concerns. Also, at what point would I loose money if I booked now for March 2, 2024 and we decide to cancel in mid September 2023?

Hope I’m not hijacking this thread but is there somewhere on NCL’s site that states what’s required for check in? I don’t remember ever needing photos, etc. on previous cruises when checking in.

Thank you.

While looking at the deck plans for the Escape, I noticed an interior space on Deck 12 that doesn't indicate what it is used for, specifically in the area of Stateroom 12250. Does anyone know what is there? There are other decks that have similar areas that are unnamed. Just curious, thanks.

I'm also looking out of NYC and it's about 1/2 the price. One additional port when departing out of Boston. NYC is less convenient for me but the price difference is rather substantial.

Hey everyone, we haven't cruised in a few years, the last one on the POA, the last cruise before the Covid. I was looking at the prices today for a New England/Canada cruise out of Boston around the end of August and it was around $5300 for the 2 of us for a mid ship balcony, no airfare necessary. Is that typical nowadays?
