What was your first NCL ship?

Majesty in 2000. She'd been stretched in dry dock and was still a lovely small size. A good intimate ship for our honeymoon. But boooooy did she rock on our first and last sea day.

We will be taking our first NCL cruise in Nov 2015 and are very excited to go back on a cruise. My wife and I have cruised in the past. I've done 3 RCCL cruises, she's done 2 RCCL and 3 Celebrity. Two of the RCCL's were us together. The last one was in 2005. This upcoming cruise will be our daughters first.

 

I've been reading a lot of the info on here and see a lot of negative comparisons to RCCL, which is all I know, but also a lot of positive comparisons to RCCL. We'll see how it turns out, but I think NCL's style of cruising matches us.

Getaway November 2014...hooked for life! Why did I not try this sooner?

The Majesty was my second NCL ship, from Boston to Bermuda. Loved being on it, but I do remember the rocking. You don't feel it as much on the Dawn, which is a much larger ship.

Norwegian Sea - out of New York, summer of 2001 (sold, drydock & still in service with StarCruises)

Pride of Aloha in 2006. Honeymoon cruise.

We did Epic Med cruise a couple years ago and that totally hooked us on NCL! We have our third cruise booked for May (POA) and next March (Breakaway Haven). Love the freestyle approach to cruising!

We sailed for the first time on the Seaward in 1993, Western Caribbean out of Miami, to celebrate our 25th anniv. Looking back, we had a rather small OV stateroom but loved it and officially got hooked on cruising.;)

 

Our second was on the Norway in 1995--what a fantastic experience. So glad we got to sail on her (and again 6 yrs. later in the very same cabin):)

The Sun last year to Alaska. It was our first cruise ever. My wife and I always said we weren't cruise people, but I'd always wanted to see Alaska. We hated it so much that we booked another cruise while still onboard. :D

 

84 days until Norway!

SS Norway around 1987...I loved that ship, what a Lady. They had a Crew Pool forward and and one night our waiter invited our teens down to their lounge and on a shore excursion.

 

Different times - never happen now of course.

MS Skyward June 1987, met my husband on this cruise :D Honeymooned on MS Seaward Sept. 1988.

The Sun in 2005. We were certainly not WOW'd by the bells and whistles (she has none) or the great recreational opportunities (golf putting in the atrium into a paper cup, anyone?). But we were VERY impressed with the hospitality and service and really liked the Freestyle product. We always planned to sail NCL again and our second trip will be on the Epic out of Rome this fall. FWIW, we found it to be the absolute best 7-day itinerary available for the 2015 season and free UDP and UBP make it an excellent value that no other line could touch. We're really looking forward to it.

Skyward 1981

[hypercafe]

Our first was Crown to Bermuda from NY. Was great going to all three ports. We went each year till she was sold. They should of kept her, some love small ships. Living in NY we took the Spirit and Dawn many times. Was on the Dawn on her first trip from NY. Was great, now she is in Boston and has been cut up and runed. We are left with the Breakaway and Gem. I am not a big fan of the Breakaway as the pool deck is nuts so now we also go to NJ for Celiberty.

2004 9 day NCL Spirit southern Caribbean. Tortola, St Thomas, Grenada, Barbados and St. Lucia. Absolutely loved it.

[Family Travel Story]

The NCL Windward back in 1994. This was the first 7 night cruise I was on, and went with 13 first cousins, 6 aunts and uncles, my father and grandmother. It was so much fun to cruise with a big group of family members for my grandmother's 75th birthday.

[MsJ]

NCL Sea in July 2002. Loved the ship.Had tons of fun.

[Carnac767]

NCL Dream, Baltic from Dover.

[Ship2shoreCO]

We sailed on Pride of America six years ago, just two weeks before my wife became a US citizen. We didn't plan it that way. We booked the cruise and then got the notice for her swearing in ceremony. It was very special and fitting under the circumstances.

[FraudBroad]

NCL Starward in February 1994. It was also our very first cruise!

[ShannonSC2]

The Pearl was my first NCL! I was hooked after that one!

[lhsail]

A true beautiful lady, the SS Norway in 1982.

[mnh]

SS Norway.....my first ever cruise out of 48....I was starry eyed...nothing tops the first cruise!

[andmad]

My first NCL cruise was on the Norway. It was an amazing ship.
