We are in our mid 50's and this was our 3rd cruise, second on NCL.
Embarkation was great and we were offered a glass of champagne. We went to our cabin to drop off the carry on's. The cabin was ready and we programmed the safe and headed to Windows for lunch. Raffles was also available as well as Cagney's for suite passengers.

The NCL Spirit is ten year old and is due for a major refurbishment. You could see things like rust and frayed carpets and the windows needed replacing. The ship itself was easy to get around and the air conditioning was excellent.

Our cabin had enough room to put all our clothes away for our 2 week cruise. The balcony was as expected, two comfortable chairs and a small table.

Let me take a few moments to tell you about dining. Our first lunch was at Windows and we found the meals to be quite good. We had breakfast most mornings here. The menu is not that extensive, but has all the basics. They set up a buffet for fruit, cheese, rolls, cereal and jams. A couple of times they under cooked fried eggs and omelets. When that happened we just went up to Raffles. We also took a glass of wine, from our cabin, with us to dinner quite often.

Raffles, three eggs stations, three fruit stations, four coffee (great coffee), tea, juice stations, bacon, sausage, hot toast, pan cakes, hash browns, fried potatoes, waffles, bangers, biscuits (hard like hockey pucks) & gravy, a large variety of sweat rolls and things like herring, salmon, kippers etc. To have breakfast here was a little hectic, but once everyone got use to the variety, locations and discovered they were not going to run out of food, things calmed down. It sure would be nice of the folks that come to the buffet would learn to use the hand sanitizer, not to use their hands to pick up food, lick their fingers, cough, think they are the only ones in the area and be considerate of others. We found ship to extremely clean. No Nero virus on our cruise.

Casino has a load of "One Arm Bandits" Craps, Roulette, Black Jack and Poker. Wife said the machines were tight. I only play craps and roulette. Watched "0" come up four times in a row. Needless to say, I was not wise enough to put any money on that non-number. Get a new "Players Card" and they give a $20 for $10 slot play, there is a $5 match play in the coupon book and a few other deals.

We went to a couple of great shows, the Magician and the Hypnotist. Heard from others that some of the shows we missed were very good also. Loads of activities such as BINGO and Trivia. Bands and groups playing everywhere.


When arrived in New Orleans and NCL did a great job getting us off the ship, U.S. Customs did a lousy job clearing everyone. It took over one hour from the end of the gang plank to the customs desk. You would think, when customs knows 3000 people are going to come ashore starting at 8am they would have more then eight stations to handle the crowd. Good thing we didn't have to catch our train, back to Indiana, till 1:45pm.

We were pleased with NCL and The Spirit. Would take this ship again and highly recommend the cabin, food, entertainment, activities and especially crew.
