Our very first cruise, our honeymoon in May 1993, was on the NCL Starward, 7 days out of San Juan, Puerto Rico and a full itinerary...Barbados, Martinique, St. Maarten, Antigua, St. Thomas. Those were the days when we had to book vacations through a travel agent and I knew nothing about cruises, I just knew I wanted to go on one and this was the one that the travel agent picked. It included the airfare from DFW and was $2400. We had an inside cabin and when we went to look for our cabin, we looked at the signs that pointed left and right, showing the cabin numbers and which way to go...the numbers ended and our cabin wasn't on there and we had to ask where it was! I think they made a closet into our cabin! The side thrusters must have been going out and directly below us as each morning, very early, when coming into a port, we were awakened and shaken by the horrendous noise from the thrusters. We had such a blast and that addicted us to cruising and we just returned from our 14th cruise <3:ship:<3
