Cruise line was highly recommended by friends. Got a great deal on this cruise. The food was good(small portions though), the waitstaff excellent! The ship is absolutely beautiful. Plenty of dining options both complimentary & a la carte. No lacking activities & the musicians were excellent (especially the acoustic guitar player, melvin harold). The comedy show was good( the host was better). We had 4 people in a mini suite with a balcony & we were ok. I gave some allowance for the ports of call as this ship was originally destined for the eastern caribbean & there was a change due to the hurricanes. The ship is very large & was unable to dock at their own island as well as in the cayman islands & almost didn't dock in jamaica. with that said, it was not possible for us to get off in the cayman islands with their tendering(very disappointed). Tendering at their island was seamless. I traveled with my handicap adult daughter. the staff was of little help as the ports were not their usual stops. I will definitely book an ncl cruise again. Under the circumstances, it was a very good vacation.

My only complaint is that their could have been more storage space. I traveled with the Rise Gear so we managed.

Port Reviews

Great Stirrup Cay

Spent the day at the beach. Plenty of food & the staff was wonderful!

Cozumel

Due to a medical emergency, the ship had to change direction a bit. Gift shopping on this day. The weather was not too cooperative. It was pleasant.
