    Been on Voyager, Adventure (twice), Freedom, Enchantment and Freedom. As ships go, loved Voyager, Adventure and Freedom. All three of those have the Deck 5 Promenade (like a little main street) running down the middle of the ship. Always something to do.

    Freedom has the surf thing on the back, but I liked the rollerblade track on Adventure and Voyager for a good late morning/early afternoon workout (do and hour or 90 minutes and you'll be able to eat all you want without putting on weight for the cruise.

    I don't know what the snobs are talking about. I think the food is great. Been on two NCL cruises, too (Sky and Sun) and thought their food was great, too. Basically, I never, ever skip the sit-down dinner at night. To eat like that in a restaurant you're talking about spending $50-$100. Please try some of the cold soups, too. I never would have dreamed how good they are.

    The shows are generally pretty darn good, but I can only watch so much song and dance stuff after dinner when there's so much other stuff to do (casino!).

    The nice thing about an outside cabin is you'll actually see light coming in in the morning and know it's no longer night time. Since it's your honeymoon, you might spend a little more time in the room (at least I hope you do), but otherwise I recommend inside cabins just because you're hardly ever there except to sleep and shower before dinner.

    One other thing: Go up to the pool deck early to claim the best chaise lounges. Congrats.
