Hi guys - Regina, I can feel your pain on having family at the house too long! I've not had an experience that long, but I know what it's like to just want things back to normal and not have to spend so much time worrying about fixing dinner, cleaning up, etc. with more people at the house. My best family visit ever was my mom coming for 4 nights. It was just the right amount of time, and since it was only one person, it wasn't any extra work so it was a great visit.
We did a NCL cruise about 10 years ago or so and liked a lot about it, but the crowd was a little too old at that time. I don't know if that's changed or not. We've always said that the food and service were possibly the best on NCL but the cabin size and entertainment events were the worst. Of course, we were on what would now be considered an older ship, so that would explain the smaller cabin. We were seated at a table with some very nice people, but at the time we were in our late 20's and we joked about not even seeing anyone close to our age in the dining room. One of the couples that we were seated with had children older than us. The other ones were old to us at the time - they were probably in their late 50's or 60's - which seemed ancient to us at the time!
Either way, we'd consider NCL again if the group was into it. I'd also like to check out Princess some day.
Ok - off to work. Yippee. Sheree
