I loved the boat, the free style dinning and the food was great. The staff was friendly and helpful and tried their best to go above and beyond for us even when we were a bit demanding. The announcements were kept to a minimum which is good but the first day at sea on the boat it was really confusing as to what time it was; the clocks in the elevator had the wrong time. The entertainment was good. I especially enjoyed The Funky Roots band. I felt that their was a lot of activities early in the day and on days at port but at days at sea there was not much to do, would have loved if more of the activities repeated in the evening between 3 -5. The really popular activities like the comedian, game shows and performances were always packed so often if you didn't get there early it was standing room only so I missed some things or had to sit where there was not a good view of the activities. They did show some of the popular games shows on the tv so you can see it. The only other thing I disliked was the DJ he would often play a lot of old music or repeat the same songs the live band had just sung. Often the dance floor would get packed with the line dances but after those were over the DJ would play some weird stuff that would just clear the dance floor. So definitely not for heavy party-ers in my opinion. We did an excursion at each port and overall they were good but not necessary if you just want to go to beach. Despite that we had a great time and would definitely do it again.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Oceanview Porthole Window

Cabin OF

Cabin was larger than I expected it to be with lots of storage space, it was clean and the cabin steward ( Donley, thank you so much) was very attentive. We had an issue with a leak and they took care of it in quickly it didn't interrupt our vacation at all. The little touches of the towels animals at night was always nice.

Port Reviews

Tampa

We had transfer to the ship from the airport through NCL and it was a very smooth process once we got to the port the lines were a bit long and they apologized and it moved pretty quickly.

Harvest Caye

This port had a whole area where you could shop and go to the beach. An excursion was not really necessary if all you want is to soak up the sun. We took the Mayan Ruins and Spice Farm excursion and it was good. We had to take a boat and a bus about an hour and half each way. The guides ere entertaining but it makes it a long day and you don't have time to explore the port near the ship when you return. The ruins were not that extensive but the enthusiasm of the guides was infectious. The spice farm was great highly recommend a visit. They took great care of us and it was great to learn about the culture just wish the ride was shorter so have done more.
