We cruised on norwegian in europe october 2015 and won a free trip playing bingo. the cruise was lovely, the food and service great.

We decided on this particular itinerary since a few of the ports were new to both of us. the nightmare began with a 2.5 hour line up to board the ship! at this point, we had no idea that some passengers had been sick on the previous ship and therefore they were sterilizing the ship and apparently this led to the first delay.

We boarded the ship (finally) and were told that we were on a sterilized alert but this ban would be lifted within 24 hours. this meant that all buffet services were closed off with approximately 1/8 of the buffet food available and more lengthy lineups. the staff who was serving you at the buffet were not skilled in this area and had difficulty with both english and knowing how to place food on the plates!!!

Cabin was fine, bed not nearly as comfortable as the ship in Europe

Port Reviews

Tampa

Stay at the Le Meridian if you are in Tampa, a beautiful hotel and make the short trip for brunch to Gaspers Grotto, the best brunch we have ever had!

Roatan

Beautiful place, unfortunately the weather was lousy! We would love to return to spend more time on this lovely island. The people were lovely!

Belize City

We asked to go to a beach and unfortunately the local beach was man made, not our cup of tea. We now know that you must take a boat to good beaches. We found the city to be dirty.

Costa Maya

Went to the beach close to the port and snorkeled all day! Beautiful!

Cozumel

We hopped in a cab and went to the best spot for snorkeling, food was great, all inclusive!!!
