This was my 127th lifetime cruise, 16th on NCL. I have Platinum status with them. Got a great single supplement deal for this cruise.4 weeks out so I could accompany some friends who were already booked. got a deluxe inside cabin on deck 10 midship down the hall from my friends cabin. . We drove down from Orlando to Ft. Lauderdale the day before and stayed with friends They kept our vehicle and drove us to/from the port of Miami so no parking fees.No problems with embarkation. luggage arrived in a timely fashion. we had lunch in the main dining room instead of fighting for a table in the lido. The all-inclusive drink package offered on this ship made it an even better bargain. had Merlot with every lunch and dinner. The second night we ate in Le Bistro French restaurant and the food and service were excellent. The selections in the Main dining room were very good as well and the service was too on the other 3 evenings.

The weather was perfect the entire trip and no rain or rough seas ever.I did not get off in Freeport as, honestly , there is nothing to see after one visit and ive been there over a dozen times. We did walk around in downtown Nassau and felt very safe as we were a group of 4 men walking together. Did the famous Straw Market and some other stores. Instead of the private island ( undergoing renovations) we had a final day at sea before return to Miami.. Off the ship at 9 AM but a customs backup (not enough Officers checking folks out) made for long lines so not out of the pier shed til 945 AM. All in all a very enjoyable short getaway at a great price. The ship had few children on board so not too much noise or rowdiness.
