I often have people ask me which cruise line is "best" for families. My top three are Disney, Royal, and Norwegian; however, more and more I have been leaning towards NCL for those families who want something other than Disney.
Fifteen years ago, I would not have recommended NCL to anyone, but the changes they have made and continue to make have truly blown me away. From their new ships/ refurb of older ships, to their private island and price inclusive fare with Free at Sea Plus, NCL surely needs to be on everyone's list for consideration.
Disney will always have my heart, and I am still a Royal fan, but NCL is for sure up there with both.
If you are thinking about a cruise for your family, let's chat about which option makes the most sense!
