Cabin: Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

This was our first cruise together as a couple and on NCL. We were very happy with our time aboard the ship. We learned to never book a cabin below the pool deck. we could hear people hanging out in smoking section late nights while we were trying to sleep. We were on deck 14 mid-ship. The room we had was a mini-suite with a balcony. The room was comfortable for the small amount of time we spent in it. The shower was great. Having the balcony was so nice to be able to sit out there and relax to the sounds of the ocean while we cruised between ports. One thing we noticed was that we never met our cabin steward.I think it would have been nice if they had introduced themselves and maybe check on us from time to time.

The second day of our trip was our 2nd wedding anniversary. I had bought the Anniv, Package on line. The crew did not disappoint.The room was decorated and they even delivered a cake. My wife was so surprised.

Our first excursion was fun. We got to meet some monkeys and other wildlife on Roatan Is. Honduras. The second excursion was a boat ride around Harvest Caye Belize. It was a pleasant journey even though we really didn't see much in the way of animals. They also use the wrong type of boat for this experience. You sit low in the boat and it is very hard to see anything. This should be done with a pontoon style or airboat. Costa Maya was a nice day visiting the Mayan ruins. We had a very good tour guide. Our last port was Cozumel where we decided to just walk around and do some shopping.

Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin MA

Nice room. The balcony is small but it was a nice place to escape all of the crowds.

Excellent shower. Being below the smoking section on the 15th deck was noisy at times.
