We began our trip at the Ramada Inn on Saturday prior to embarkation. The next day, we took a shuttle to the Tampa pier. Since this was our 4th cruise with NCL and being Lattitude Members, it took us less than half an hour to board the ship.

Although it is an older ship, we found it to be very clean and the staff is very conscientious about spraying the passengers hands when entering the dining room and boarding the ship, which I liked. We tried the two dining rooms and liked them both. We went to 3 specialty restaurants, Tapanyaki, Moderno and Le Bistro. All were excellent and we enjoyed them. I was upset at Le Bistro, because we ordered Lobster and had to pay an additional $10 each on top of the fee for this restaurant.

We went on 3 tours with Shore Excursions, an independent Tour Company. Two tours in Costa Maya, and Cozumel were fantastic, however, the tour on a glass bottom boat in Roatan was a disaster. We didn't have a guide to tell us where we were going or escort us on the boat and tell us about the fish and coral. I did complain to the company and they were so upset by this, that we will be getting part of the cost of that tour back, so it is nice to know that they appreciated my feedback. We thought that these tours that we booked online were with Norwegian and were surprised to find out that this was an independent company, however, it has a very good reputation and as you can see from what happened to us in Roatan, they have very good customer service.

The comedian was very funny and most enjoyable. I had seen him before on the Dawn. I think I was spoiled after the Dawn because the entertainment was exceptional, as they brought in acts from Las Vegas.The singers and dancers were very talented. We went to Trivia, which was fun, but some of the questions were really out there, so she had to change the questions.We enjoy cruising with NCL very much and look forward to our next cruise, which we are beginning to plan.
