I am also from a mid-30's couple with no kids and have cruised both RCI and NCL. To be honest, my preference is RCI, but I'm doing my second NCL cruise this year because the itinerary and dates work better than RCI (which is why I did NCL last year as well). It wasn't quite as fun as RCI and I though the food and entertainment were a little lower quality than RCI, but overall it was a very good cruise experience. Service was excellent and the pool, cabins and other amenities were very similar. There were a few kids and many older couples, but also a number of people our age. Of course, if you're going during spring break, you'll get more families regardless of cruise line. There were no big party animals like I experienced on Carnival years ago.

The only other significant difference is freestyle dining. I much prefer a set dinner time and dining with the same people and same waiter night after night. Freestyle can be nice though, if you're tired and want to eat later than normal, or hungry and want to eat earlier. Still my preference is the old-style early/late seating system.

If the dates and itinerary work for you, I'd say go for it!

I'm wondering about this too.

It seems there is another enterprise location at 235 W 6TH ST

SAN PEDRO, CA 90731-3315 which looks to be just a 15 min. walk from the World Cruise Center terminal in San Pedro. I'm wondering if it will be easier to walk there, than to coordinate a pick-up.

Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks!

Do they do a Chef's Dinner on cruises that are only 5 nights?

What night typically does the dinner tend to be on? I don't want to book reservations at a specialty restaurant for the same night!

Thank you!
