I have to also agree with you about NCL. Service before and during the
cruise was terrible for the last one we took in Jan - 06 on them.
Absolutely no one would talk about their screw-up on reservations. Never
received ANY response from a certified, return receipt letter sent to the
President of the company other than the receipt that it was received. Never
again after being a loyal fan of theirs since the old Sunward II days. This
travel agent also won't recommend them to anyone else.
