Hello

Hi there,

New to the site, have lurked for a bit, and thought I'd come out of hiding and introduce myself. My wife & I live in North Carolina, are retired, and thought we'd try our first cruise to see if it might be something we would like to continue to do. We're booked on the NCL Pearl for a 7-day W. Caribbean next month. I'll keep reading the various threads however, any suggestions for what a couple of newbies should or should not do on this particular cruise would be appreciated.

Ciao,

/Paco
