Both lines are great for a first cruise. They are mid-priced and mid-activity (that is, not too rowdy or too sedate). RCI's ships are glitzier and mostly bigger than NCL's, which tend to be more subtle and nautical. We've found food and service to be about equal overall between the two lines -- very good in both cases. Buffet dining is better on RCI (it's never been a priority for NCL), but the Wind's three main dining rooms, plus Lebistro, make its dining experience quieter and less crowded, more like a fine restaurant and less like a banquet hall. If you choose the Wind, try to get one of the terraced dining rooms aft; they're especially nice.
I've liked the entertainment better on NCL, but not everyone agrees with that. Both do a good job in the main theaters, but I find NCL's other entertainment venues to be better utilized (though this really applies more to the Norway than the Wind).
