The cabin was laid out to be comfortable and maximize storage capacity.  It was also very clean.   We really enjoyed having separate spaces for the toilet, sink and shower as it allowed us to get ready at the same time without having to deal with a shared bathroom.  Once person could be in the separate shower while another person was using the toilet.  The balcony was also roomy.

The island was not very nice. It had man-made sand and murky water.  Also, there were way too many people in a very small space.  We returned to the boat after 2 hours.

We took a private Bob Marley tour which was pretty fun.  In general, Falmouth doesn't have pretty beaches or an interesting downtown.  I think Ocho Rios might offer a better port for Norwegian's itinerary.

Falmouth

We went to a private beach club which was fine.  Not much to see or do downtown or near the port.

Paradise Beach itself is idyllic - white sand and clear water.  However, this was the only excursion we booked through Norwegian and it was a disaster.  It did not match the description by any stretch of the imagination.  First, the excursion started an hour late.  Our tour guide didn't know how late the excursion would start, so we had to sit around and wait.  The excursion was advertised as a catamaran sail to the island.  Our transportation was a double-hulled ferry, not a sailing catamaran which was the main reason I selecting this specific excursion other private excursions to Paradise Island.  It was a tender.  The beach was packed with no available loungers when we arrived.  Our tour guide said two other cruises arrived before us and would be leaving within the next two hours and chairs, etc. would be available when they left.   The food was mediocre, although the guacamole was amazing.  The tour guide said he would let us know when it was time to leave, so it was hard to relax or wander around.  We waited at the dock over 30 minutes for the return tender to pick us up and we were picked up after the ship was scheduled to depart port.  We were supposed to return to port an hour or so before the ship departed.  We had purchased some jewelry that needed to be sized and were planning to pick it up after the excursion.  We ended up tipping the tour guide extra to literally run to the jewelry store and bring the jeweler to the ship as we were boarding.  After complaining and being treated very rudely by the Epic's shore excursion team, we were offered a 30% discount.  Frankly, the experience ruined the whole day for me and the way the Epic staff handled it and the compensation they offered was insulting and unsatisfactory.

Finally, they said it was the tour company that was at fault, not Norwegian, despite the fact that it was a cruise we paid for through Norwegian and the excursion ticket said "Norwegian' and did not even reference a tour company.-The one excursion we booked through Norwegian (catamaran to Passion Island in Cozumel) was a disaster.
