If you're a first-time cruiser and you chose any one of the NCL seven-day cruises you made the right decision.These cruises are great for first-timers because they are seven days and offer a lot land time. You don't have to worry about being on the open seas for very long so just in case cruising turns out not to be for you, there's really not a whole lot of sailing going on. The Hawaii cruises are designed to give you a lot of land time you get overnights in both Maui and Hawaii which gives you the opportunity to experience the islands. I equate the cruise to a floating hotel that travels from island to island.
Another other reason is great is because first-time cruisers don't have any other cruise ships to compare this to; the NCL's product is quite different from those of the other cruise lines. They have freestyle cruising which means there's no preset meals and the formal nights are optional. The Hawaii cruises also have the only All-American crew in the world, this makes the experience quite different and it's very comforting for first-time cruisers because all of the crew members are from the United States and could speak our language and our very personable.
First-time cruisers very often wonder where they should stay on the ship and again because the ship doesn't cruise that much it's not as an important issue however, it's always advisable to be as close to make ship is possible and most people like to be as high up on the ship is possible, the reason for this is because if you're on the lower deck you generally have to go up to the various decks which have the restaurants and activities.
If you're considering a Hawaii Cruise as your first adventure on the seas then any one of the three ships sailing here would be a good choice. Happy cruising!
