My wife and I are planning a 4-day cruise the end of June. We've
done some comparison shopping and received the following quotes:
Ship Ports Accomodations Price
Dolphin Key West/Nassau Level 2 $475
Emerald Isles Nassau/Freeport Level 2 $475
Sunward II Nassau/Freeport Level 4 $610
We're rookies and really have no good way to decide. I'd appreciate
suggestions, discussions and/or recommendations.

I goofed on both the name and cost of the second option.
It's the Emerald SEAS and the cost we were quoted is $639.
BTW, all the costs are without air fare.
This new news causes us to lean more than ever to the Sunward II,
largely because of the good reputation of the NCL lines and info
from this notes file.

I was on the EMERALD SEAS a few years ago, before it was bought
by Admiral. It was my first "real" cruising experience. I had
taken the day trips on the SEAESCAPE to see if I would like it.
I loved the Emerald Seas! It is a pretty good size ship 24,000
tons which helped me decide between it and NCL's Sunward II. We
also got a great deal (I booked thru A AAABCO) and our room was
a suite with 3 picture windows! NCL's private island is Great
Stirrup Cay, the Emerald Seas stops at Little Stirrup Cay. Both
are within sight of each other, and since I've been to both I
thought they were both the same and one of the best part of the
cruises. The Emerald Seas is an older ship, but when I was on it
the ship was in beautiful shape. I don't know what changes Admiral
has made so I can't say what it's like now.

Try Premier Cruise Lines they just came out with a new ship
called S.S. Majestic and it goes to the Abacos out islands, there
include air fare if I'm not mistaken. They have 3 and 4 Nt Cruises
