Perfect weather the whole cruise. The staff and people on the ship were all so friendly and happy. There's always something to do but sometimes you just want to enjoy the awesome balcony view from your stateroom. Food was great most of the time and lines for buffet/bar were never too crazy. I have celiac disease and NCL took such great care of me and made me feel like I was the most important person on the ship when I had to discuss my allergy. We definitely filled out about 8 vacation hero cards for the staff. Staterooms have a ton of storage but the beds are a bit awkward. Priscilla and Burn the Floor were both phenomenal! We went back twice to see Burn the Floor. Priscilla is a heartfelt, comedy show about drag queens so we were surprised so many people got up and left at the beginning of the performance because they might be unaware or homophobic. Or they didn't listen to the 1000th warning that it's an adult humour show, not for the easily offended or for children. Please go see it though, it was awesome!!! Jamaica has a nice port shopping area that is quite safe and cheap but we didn't venture past the port. Grand Cayman has the most beautiful beach on 7 Mile Beach, friendly locals, and has a cute little town for shopping. Stirrup Cay has improved sooo much over the years. Dont bring big bills to shop with the vendors, and its nearly impossible to get a beach chair unless you get there early.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BC

There is so much storage but I would give up some storage just to have a normal sized bed. The washroom, curtain situation is not that big of a problem but I was travelling with my partner. The balcony on deck 8 is right on top of the lifeboats but they did not obstruct the view in any way. This room was completely covered overhead which is great since some are open for other cabins to look onto.
