Just returned from my Sept 24 to Oct 1, 2016 Eastern Caribbean cruise. I must say that I was super impressed with how organized this ship is (when compared with other smaller NCL ships I have been on). Very few lines, getting on the ship and getting off the ship was flawless. Never felt the crowds, except on at sea days with the swimming pool area. I am not deducting anything for that, I think it was the ship design and hopefully they will do better with the new ships they are currently producing. I stayed, with my brother and a girlfriend, in the studio cabins. At first, I was a little leery with the size of the room and the fact that there were no windows. I must say it was well designed and I loved the separate studio area where you could meet people. NCL has a great single traveler program organizing dinners and shows (something I did not participate in since I had others with me), but it would have been great if I was truly alone. Anyway, we had a blast. People were great on the ship, food fantastic and with the Unlimited Beverage Package the drinks were flowing! I love NCL and wouldn't cruise any other ship!

Port Reviews

Tortola

Tortola Party Bus. Great way to see the island. Plenty of rum punch and a great group of partyers on the bus with us. Driver was fantastic!

Nassau

Not crazy about Nassau. Probably the 5th time I have been here. Didn't do any excursions, but probably should have. We were annoyed by street vendors the whole time (hair braiding, rolex watch sellers, handbags). Never again. I think I will either stay on the ship next time or do some kind of excursion to stay away from the port.

Miami

Easy to get to, parking is a breeze (albeit expensive). Cost us $120 for the week.
