If you're like me, you know first-hand that "inclusiveness" doesn't just happen for most of us. Creating a travel community for you, others and me is my way of helping to make this world a better place for all of us—while we have a blast together!
I did have a great time. It was wonderful seeing friends from previous Daddy Cruises, and making new friends.
Two things detracted from the great experience.
#1. I found that 125 people was too large a group, for my comfort. It seemed like every time we were together, there were different people, so I never got to talk to the same people again. The result was that I was more likely to spend time with the guys that I already knew.
#2. NCL's policy of only allowing us two group dinners detracted from my ability to sit with different groups of people each evening, and get to know them.
But still, overall, it was wonderful. Thanks so much.

hi Josh, thanks for your feedback--and i agree, the group was too large (we will limit groups in the future to keep our intimate, personal feel). As for NCL's group dinner policy? You'll see we onlly have one more cruise on NCL in the future--so disappointed in them! Glad you had a great time, though!
This was my first ever cruise, and why not do it with this group of men. I had an amazing time with everyone - on and off the boat. I would do it again. In fact, I’ve already made a reservation for next year’ cruise in the summer. Let’s go!!
The cruise and the activities were all great. Brian and his team always to an amazing job. Well done!!!
We were; however, disappointed in the Corfu Greece "Corfu Town and Achilleion Palace" excusion. We literally chose that excusion because of the palace so it was disappointing to find out that the palace was closed for renovation and--per the rumors that were flying around the group that morning--has been closed for years. Unfortunately, the tour guide didn't mention that until the bus was pulling away from the ship. Had we known earlier, we would have skipped that tour. The guide did add a mansion to the stop but most people in the group (us included) seemed disappointed in that stop and most people found the most interesting things in the mansion to be the fans that were situated around the building. I don't fault Brian or his team because even the paid tour guide's guide book still listed it as the "Achilleion Palace tour" but it was disappointing that there was no palace on the palace tour.

hi Ken, glad you guys had a great time, and we enjoyed you being with us. Yes, disappointing about the tour. We've tried to resolve with the tour company about their false advertising.
