Adam joins us again this week to discuss his Fall Cruise to New England aboard the Norwegian Breakaway. It’s fun every now and then to compare other cruise lines and sailing opportunities beyond DCL, especially sailings at Ports which you’re unable to generally stop at, because DCL rarely sails there. Adam does a great job showcasing the differences in planning for an NCL cruise vs DCL, along with differences in boarding, dining, onboard entertainment, the Spa, and stateroom amenities. We then touch on each of the ports and what they had planned there. So pack your bags, and grab your car keys (its nice not to have to fly to FL for every cruise), we’re headed up to beautiful New England aboard the Norwegian Breakaway.

This was a four day sailing out of Miami, featuring stops at Nassau and Castaway Cay. Joe and his family first spent time at Walt Disney World.
