Would have been nice to have ports that were close to city visiting

Spent more time on the buses than in the town that you wanted to visit. In Antigua they should learn how to handle the volume of one boat. A lot of waiting on the 2 hr bus, 1/2 hr for smaller bus to transfer into town, then lowering our expected time to walk around town, once we get there for time to return, they delay it for another 1 hour, which really ticked a lot of people off.

Feel prices were high for what you get out of the excursions. But NCL doesn't care, they got everyone's money.

In Acapulco, we had to wait for 45 minutes for our bus and they were not telling us why, didn't offer a place to sit or anything. I found a seat for my 83 yr old dad. Bus got in an accident on the way and they needed to switch buses. They redesigned the tour and made us see the divers first and we were so late getting there that we were unable to get a good viewing spot. Heard you can walk there for 3 blocks and pay $7 to get in to watch the diving. The restaurant was horrible and it was a buffet but we did not get to choose our food, half of it I didn't even like and the rest was terrible. I mentioned this to the tour manager, that we would have preferred to pick our own food out. The store they took us too was cheap silver jewelry in a park that was not that good. Would have preferred to not take the tour at all and walk around on our own.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BC

it was fine, somewhat tight. Sofa was a loveseat that was uncomfortable, used pillow and chair with pillow to sit better.
