Greetings. This is a bit long, so grab a snack. This voyage was my fifth cruise, first on NCL, and I had an absolutely fabulous time. I've been to the Bahamas several times and Bermuda once before, so my main goal was just having a great cruise and we did that.

Although there are a few things I did not like, overall the cruise was great. One of those few things, was that I wish that curfews could be set for the roaming 13-17 year old teens that could readily be seen at about 3 am in and near Dazzles. Although their being in there did leave the stairways passable.

Moving on..., the embarkation process was not too bad after playing the waiting game. However, I can't blame NCL for that when it had more to do with our time of arrival to the port. The disembarkation process was great. The disembarkation discussion the day before mentioned that the passengers using the "Express" option would get word at about 8:30 am and could then gather on Deck 7 to start the process. My 3 cruise roommates and I went down to Deck 7 at 8:30, got in a little bit of a line and proceeded to move with deliberate speed at about 8:45. All four of us were off the ship and into our individual taxis by 9:00 am. Read more
