After reading some negative reviews and newspaper articles about the ship, I was a little reluctant to book this cruise. This was our first voyage with NCL, and it will certainly not be the last. First of all, the ship is absolutely gorgeous. It's very new, but the designers chose to model if after the classic luxury liners of days gone by. Stunning. The pictures of it that I`ve seen on the Internet do not do it justice at all. Second, "Freestyle Cruising" is awesome. Not only can you eat when and where you please, but a table for two was easily accommodated every time we asked for one. The specialty restaurants are especially worth visiting. I will admit however that the room service menu is very limited. One of the other things we enjoyed about this cruise was that the room attendant was not in our face every time we were in our cabin (which by the way was lovely.) She was attentive, but respected our privacy more than our experiences with other cruise lines. As far as the crew is concerned, I would cautiously admit that some of them seem to enjoy their jobs more than others. However the latter was hardly the norm. This young, friendly, (sometimes sassy) American crew treated us better than any cruise we have been on, and we`ve been on a lot. I don`t think there was a single time we walked past a crew member who didn`t offer a genuine smile and say hello to us. It`s very clear that these folks are working hard to make this all come together, and it came together pretty darn well for us. Unfortunately we did witness a few passengers being extremely rude to crew members for the stupidest reasons. In those instances, the crew handled the situation very professionally. I really can`t say enough about my respect for these nice folks. Our cruise began 9/17/2005. As far as the bottom line goes, we have already booked another cruise on this beautiful ship in 6 months. That should tell you everything you need to know about our experience.   Topic Index | Email to a Friend Our Story | Be a Guide | Advertising Info | Work at About | Site Map | Icons | Help User Agreement | Ethics Policy | Patent Info. | Privacy Policy | Kids' Privacy Policy ©2006 About, Inc., A part of The New York Times Company .

Here's my site map for your convenience: WELCOME PAGE Frequently asked questions about Maui fishing A partial list of Maui fishing charter companies NOTE: I recommend only Maui's best sportfishing operators. These are the boats which fish every day, keep their equipment in good shape, and employ skilled and experienced crew.

My name is Mike Crawford. I've been fishing in Maui waters since the late 60's -- professionally for over 25 years. I don't operate my own sportfishing charter business anymore. Instead I rely on my experience to personally direct Maui visitors to the fishing operator which best fits their needs. At Fish Maui.com you'll find thorough, honest information about the Maui sport fishing industry. When you arrive on Maui, you're gonna find yourself BOMBARDED by activities agents -- 90% of whom know abolutely NOTHING about fishing. Most are profit driven, and will do their damndest to book you on a charter boat which pays the highest commission, regardless of the quality of the trip. I run FishMaui.com because I REALLY LOVE fishing. If you email me, you WILL receive a personal response in return, typically within a few hours. No canned, impersonal messages, no hype. Simply answers to your questions about fishing on Maui. So for now, surf the site, and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email or call me at home at 877-889-7035.
