We're also booked on the Spirit for July 3rd. Although May 15th was her maiden voyage to Alaska, the SuperStar Leo (now known as the Norwegian Spirit) was actually built in 1999. We went on our first cruise last September to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary on the Norwegian Sky to Alaska. We just loved it and are so anxious to cruise again. We decided to go in July for more daylight hours to enjoy "God's country". The scenery is awesome, the cruise relaxing and stress-free. I'm hoping the Spirit will be as good (if not better) as the Sky was.
