This was my 8th cruise, first on NCL.
The Good:
Love freestyle dining, that is a huge win. Will totally go on NCL for that alone. This ship was a beauty, my stateroom and balcony was lovely. Outside areas were great, loved the quiet adult section at the back (they should sign it better and police it more though, always a few straggler kids or parents that didn't care).
This cabin is forward, very little movement felt on this itinerary. Great balcony, views, etc.. Long walk to elevator but not complaints. This was the largest stateroom I've ever had on 8 cruises.
NYC is the greatest city in the world, what is not to like?
We took UBER to Cocoa Beach, great spot. Get the Fish tacos at the Sandbar grill. No way to walk off the ship and go anywhere, transportation is key. Port isn't suited for exploring.
Beautiful spot, beaches were fantastic. Kinda crowded but no big deal. Tendering here is SLOW.
Go to Paradise island, check out Atlantis and what not. Cabbage beach is good, locals will try and sell you everything. If you can afford, pay for the Atlantis beach package or try for something on Cable beach at a hotel.
