We chose this cruise due to the ports we visited, We were not disappointed with our ports. We would go back to each one. We enjoyed the food, it was delicious. Small portions which was more than enough. Our room steward was great. The itinerary was amazing. The entertainment was excellent. Choir of Man exceeded our expectations. After Midnight - the skill of the dancers were amazing. The Supper Club we will probably not visit again. You did not get to pick from a menu. The night we went, we were excited to see the Elton John show - but we were not impressed. Enjoyed our evenings seeing Howl at the Moon and the comedy's were pretty good as well. The ship was easy to maneuver around. Not difficult to find your way around.

On the down side - the fact that we missed Great Stirrup Caye was very disappointing. As a Cruise Critic member, I had read that on several occasions NCL missed this stop. We were to tender in at 10am. As we sailed past the island at 10:10am we had an announcement that we would not be going. We also sailed right by another ship that was there tendering and people parasailing on the island. We did reach out to the Assistant Hotel Director that informed us that the safety of the passengers is their first concern. While I appreciate that statement it is difficult to reason with.

We also had concern about the amount of time we waited for our food. On Saturday 2/16 we were seated at 8:30am. Our order was taken 1/2 hour later @ 9am. We received tea and juice @9:02am. Our meal arrived @ 9:25am.. Order eggs over medium and well done bacon. Received eggs easy over and regular bacon. We had the same issue with dinner in Savor and Taste. An extreme amount of time waiting for service and food. We tried the Manhattan Room, where the service was much better except for the last night when we waited 45 minutes for our meal.

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Cabin BF

Cabin was big enough with enough room to put all of our things away. Suitcases fit under bed with out an issue. Balcony was just big enough for to chairs and small table. Would have been nice if it were bigger. Cabin Stewart did a good job.
