Jim - if you're going to do NCLA, you HAVE to do a suite if you're looking to get any level of service. Andrea didn't care for her butler, we loved ours, so it's hit or miss. We'll have to see what Kristin says about hers.

Jan - I'd probably agree about RCI or Princess as a better choice, going out of the NY/NJ area. Is the Crown Princess still going out of NY? My sister and my BIL went on that for their honeymoon and had a great time (albeit it was their first cruise so they had nothing to compare it to) ;)
