Additional details

Sail Date: Mar 2018
Cabin: Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

* Food was good

* Drink quality was inconsistent

* Bar service was ABYSMAL - nowhere near enough bar staff - they were overwhelmed, which made many of them less than friendly - pool bar was the worst of all, I've never before had to stand in an actual queue for drinks at a bar (other than college spring break trips)

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin MB

Too small for a "mini-suite" - smaller than any regular balcony I've been in (RCCL and Celebrity). Balcony itself barely fit 2 chairs and a tiny table.

Port Reviews

Roatan

Set up own excursion with Bananarama - $50 pp - transportation, zip lining (TEN separate zip lines!), monkey park, beach lounge chair, and welcome drink. Beach was great, food very good (pulled pork sandwich), drinks very good - food and drinks for three adults was $45.

Harvest Caye

Great pool with swim up bar!! Sand is hard to walk on as it is sand + crushed shells. Only true negative is that, even though this is NCL's private island, you have to pay for food and drinks. We ate at Land Shark: $145 for three people (salad and 2 drinks each).

Costa Maya

Set up own excursion at Jaime's Blue Reef Hotel - $47 pp - all inclusive (beach chair, food, drinks) - taxi from port $2 pp. Water and beach were AWESOME - sat under palm trees or was in the water all day! Drinks a little weak, but food was so good (guacamole, ceviche, hamburgers).

Cozumel

Set up own excursion - Iberostar Resort - $54 pp - all inclusive. Gorgeous resort, buffet was incredible (included caviar!!). Pool with swim up bar. Rainy day though. Taxi from port $5 pp
