  1. This would be our 5th cruise with NCL however Our Lattitude Status doesn't give us credit for this very first cruise. Despite phone calls and correspondence to the cruise line we have had no response. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    My 1986 Honeymoon cruise aboard the Southward? Skyward? We are leaving Sunday on the NCL Pearl for the first cruise of the Alaskan season. When I booked the cruise the TA asked if I had ever sailed NCL. I provided her with pictures of my 1986 boarding pass, luggage tags, and an traditional embarkation photo of me and hubby with the name of the ship displayed. I got my latitudes credit!

    The Southward (yep, I think that's it) left Miami for Puerto Plata, DR; St. Thomas USVI; Nassau, Bahamas; and San Juan Puerto Rico. I only remember that Puerta Plata was first and not very attractive, the rum punch in Nassau was awesome, Pina Coladas were given away in every shop in San Juan, and we had ice cream at a Baskin Robbins in St. Thomas! uh...I'm a foodie...:D

    But most memorable of that ship were 2 things: (besides the honeymoon stuff ;)); 1. the space shuttle exploded after takeoff on January 28, 1986 and we gathered around for any information we could glean, remember, no internet! It was very sad and did put a damper on the cruise a bit. 2. An elderly gentleman didn't wake up from his nap one afternoon...we offloaded him in Nassau...my husband kept saying he wondered where they were keeping him...the milk was starting to taste funny...:p. At 24 were among the youngest on the ship, this time we will fit right in!

    Happy Sailing!
