Chose this cruise on the spur of the moment. First time with Norwegian, we have cruised Carnival and Royal Caribbean but there are only so many times you can go back to the same Caribbean islands and Norwegian had Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios which we had not been to. I give it average 3 stars more for the layout of the staterooms and the small pools on deck 15 and H2O, on one of the sea days we could not get a sun-bed anywhere and yet towels were left on them with no one anywhere to be found and that continued all around deck 15 and 16 we could have checked up higher but we were hoping to see some of the entertainment and deck 18 is kinda blah for atmosphere, and a dip in one of the pools would have been nice.

Food was good both on the buffet and the Irish bar, we did not go to the dining rooms as my husband had been unwell with some treatments he had been receiving before the cruise and dining different courses was going to be too much for him so we stuck with the buffet and the Irish bar/restaurant.

Very impressed with Grand Cayman stop,Ocho Rios was just okay and Cozumel we had been to before, but we do like Cozumel. Norwegian private island did not look to have as much to do as the other cruise lines private island that was docked without having to tender in.

Cabin Review

Cabin Balcony

A special thank you too Christopher our cabin steward for looking after us, he did a great job. Cabin was just okay, a bit on the small side and I have not been on a cruise line before where the shower, wash basin and toilet were in the same room as your bed without a dividing door and only a curtain for privacy, good job I know my roommate well

Port Reviews

Great Stirrup Cay

Not as good as the other cruise lines private island.

Ocho Rios

Don’t like to be harassed by the locals. Just average shopping.

Cozumel

We Like Cozumel and have been a few times and done the excursions. Good shopping at the portbb
