Wife and I are on Breakaway out of NOLA in March. CruiseCritic forum full of stories about NCL pricing being higher than normal and storie about how few rooms are available.
Yes, NCL prices are higher, but we are a bit bored using Carnival with mediocre quality ships. My wife researched different ships and she decided the younger people will have a blast on NCL Escape with some water events on ship, which I plan to avoid at all costs.
Although St Augustine is a good little resort town with lots of things to do, when the 2 daughters visit, we end up spending a lot of money visiting all the fancy restaurants and bars in town. The cruise is much easier with less driving, no food prep at home, no making beds and cleanups.
And I am counting on a couple of drinks smuggled in by the younger folks with their all you can drink beverage packages.
