Four adults and two children — ages 6 and 10. Prefer balcony cabin on newer ship and kid’s programs and “freestyle” type dining like Norwegian has. Would like to go somewhere warm.
Norwegian has two ships that leave from there right now the Dawn and Spirit traveling to Berumda. Both ships have been recenetly refurbished in 2005 and have specials going on right now.
There’s only 1 cruise from Philadelphia before Easter. It’s a 14-day Caribbean cruise on the Norwegian Crown that leaves on April 9.
New York (Manhattan) offers 5 choices in early April — 7- to 10-day Bahamas or Caribbean cruises on Norwegian Cruise Line or Holland America. Celebrity Cruise Line has a 12-night Caribbean cruise out of Cape Liberty in New Jersey that departs April 7.
The first cruise from the new Brooklyn cruise terminal departs on April 15. It’s a 6-day Transatlantic cruise on the huge Queen Mary 2 to England.
