The page had a bunch of dates for classes and I had booked this expecting to take the class about six weeks later. Unfortunately this is a small business and most of the dates were booked. I was able to get into a class for the following week with my partner. The school location is in a old boat in Liberty harbor. It was easy to park and get to from NYC. The course consisted of a classroom session where the basics are covered and you receive all of the reading materials followed by two practical days on the water. Class was incredibly instructive and I left realizing how little I actually knew. I was really stressed out knowing that we were scheduled for the next session a day later and I didn't feel like I could possibly know everything I needed to given the time crunch. Rick, our instructor, did have a skill for repeating the needed information during the practical sessions and letting students explore safely in a way that helps expedite the learning experience. We also enjoyed the other students we were paired with and appreciated the level of safety and professionalism that was onboard. There was also really great information onboard- we learned alot about the waters surrounding our neighborhood. My partner and I received our certifications and had an amazing time out in the harbor. We're hoping to sail more next year and will hopefully have the means to get our own boat in the future.

A group of us did the New York City Signature Dinner Cruise on the Eterinity. It was a fun…read moreexperience. The service was good food also good, decor and ambience pretty nice and the throwback music was just the right accompanyment. There were charcuterie boards for us to snack on (nice touch) a five course meal and a cocktail included with the purchase. The starter was grilled shrimp, Cesar salad, for my meal I selected the salmon, it came with mashed potatoes and broccoli. Service was fast and friendly. The view were nice, seeing The City at night on the water is a great way to send the evening. The only area of opportunity I saw was the boarding process. There were no clear signs for where to meet, folks were wondering around trying to figure out which vessel was ours and there needed to be another person helping to check guests in.

We had a few team members that have special dietary restrictions and this was in no way a problem with Elite to handle! Alex did an excellent job in preparing a beautify array of food and ensuring that our glasses were never empty. The food was delicious and there was something that almost everyone could eat! Jose, Danny and Albert were awesome! It was wonderful to be greeted on the yacht with a glass of wine upon crossing the threshold. Albert was great in remembering everyone's drink. And we can't forget Stacey! We sent her over a list of artists that we would like played and she hit the mark and exceeded it! Her music selection was stellar and any song requests we made throughout the night, were easily accommodated. This was a great experience and I can't wait to sail again with Elite Private Yachts! Many thanks and hats off to everyone.

I was on the inaugural NCL Escape cruise out of Miami a few years back, I had to look at my past…read morereview for NCL Miami. What made this cruise special, we were cruising on our wedding anniversary with my sister in law and her husband. *No kids* on this trip, lets see how it all plays out. The ship has over 5000 passengers, that's a lot of beach chairs! If you think you're getting into the gym at 10am? Forget about it, try going very early or later in the day. I'll try to break it down into sections, there's so much to talk about. Cabin We had a nice aft cabin with the extended balcony. Not too much time spent here during the day. The bed was comfy and was kept clean daily by the house keeping staff. Remember the nightly towel animals? Gone. NCL is trying to save water so they cut them out. Not a big deal. In the shower are the liquid soaps. I can't use only liquid soaps, ask for a soap bar and they will provide on upon request. Shows/Entertainment The Tony award winning show, After Midnight was a great evening. What do you do for the other nights? There's no going to bed at 10am, you're on vacation! We did hit up dueling pianos one night, it was fun. We didn't stay too long for the Choir of Man show, the wives didn't enjoy the show about pubs. Bars We seemed to get into a groove, after dinner we hit up The District for drinks and laughs. I did miss my sons, we liked drinking here a few years ago. This is where you'd find us most nights, drinking and listening to the great piano player. They had speciality bars like Tobacco road and the 5 o'clock somewhere bar, both nice but in the end The District with their 30 tap beer choices had us coming back nightly. Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville was a great place to grab a Landshark and a watermelon margarita for wifee, another favorite spot. The Cellar is where I experimented with multiple wines. Who knew Salvatore Ferragamo had his own wine line? This was an up charge to try, it was sooooooo good! Another must try while sailing. Food We loved all the speciality restaurants such as Moderno, La Cucina, Food Republic and Le Bistro. All restaurant go out of their way in terms of service and food quality. If you have the drink package, sample the wines from each restaurant. You'll be pleasantly surprised how well they pair with the food offerings. Pool We stayed in the adult pool and it was just that, no children allowed. How awesome is it to see a Jimmy Buffett concert on the large pool TVs while hanging out?! 5 stars just for that experience. Excursions I'm a Gold NCL member and for years I've always heard, if you book outside of the ship and you're late the ship will leave you. Brah, you're there for almost 3 days! We went on the Clearwater beach excursion, it's far and geared towards families with little kids, meaning no waves. Pass! The bus is $7 bucks per person but a personal cab is $10 bucks per person?! Take the damn cab! It's private and will make the experience more enjoyable. And you want Horseshoe beach, it's insane how pristine the beach is, we spent two days there during our trip. By far a 10 out of 10 experience. Casino I didn't want to piss off wifee grinding it out at the tables. I played big, was up $120, gave my wife half and never went back during the remainder of the cruise. If you got it like that to stay for hours and gamble? Bully for you man. Cigars If you smoke, bring your own! They have a well vented smoking lounge, don't buy one there. It's top price! I think I covered most areas. At the end of the cruise, the desk gave us $500 bucks if we rebook again, that deal was good only while on the cruise. $500 bucks?! I'm going back next year, this vacation was the ultimate in alone, wifee time. Cheers!
