Once again NCL provided a wonderful cruise experience for me as a solo traveler. They offer a hosted solo traveler get-together each evening before dinner so there is the opportunity to meet other solo travelers and share meals and entertainment together. This trip was exceptional. The people I met were so open and fun-loving. We shared lots of our free time together, including our own excursions off the ship. The host, Allie, made reservations to any dining or entertainment experience we requested or she may have suggested. A .great time was had by all that chose to participate in the activities.

I loved my cabin. I was on the port side and was able to see many of the islands as we approached and a great view of Cuba as we passed by. I spotted three rainbows at three different ports from my balcony. Beautiful. Plenty of storage space and the bathroom had a tub! That's a first for me

I enjoyed rhe complimentary dining rooms, of which you have three to choose from. The menu and food has improved also. The Tropicana has a live band each night. Just alittle loud at times. Burn the Floor is amazing and I enjoyed the other varied entertainment as well. The Million Dollar Quartet is new and the performers were exceptional. There was entertainment thoughout the ship at the various lounges and clubs and, of course, Karaoke. We were very lucky to have some really good talent on board. I love joining in at the Howl at the Moon dueling piano bar. So much fun. And if I could stay awake long enough...the Getaway has their outdoor night parties each night out on the deck of Spice H20. There is plenty to do on this ship. I didnt even mention their sports activities, kids programs, the spa, the movies, audience participation games, bingo, the casino, etc, etc. If your looking for a fun time...even when you get on the ship knowing no one..it's there to enjoy.

Port Reviews

Belize City

A group of us hired a van and took a tour of part of the island. we hit Old Belize City where we had drinks at Cucumber Beach. Then on to a Rum Distillery, looking for a certain rum...Cinco Barrel. Did some tastings and viewed the museum there. Unfortunately we did not locate that brand. If anyone knows where to get it ...Please advise.... Then on to a private residence where we had an unplanned amazing Belizean BBQ meal of chicken, grouper, rice and beans, fried plantains, and salad. It was located on the water and it was truly a special event. I also became much closer to my solo travelers, sharing such a wonderful day.
