Booked Dunn's River with a party Catamaran afterwards; Dunn's River is brilliant and walking up it (and getting soaked in the process) is a fantastic laugh.

This port was cancelled due to bad weather.

Great Stirrup Cay

Our chosen excursion was fully booked, and we were only notified of this on the morning of docking in the port, so could not organise an alternative. A shame, but we had a wander down to a local beach, around the port town and met some locals in a nearby bar which was just as good!

Nassau

Did Discover Cayman with stops at a local beach, Hell, the Rum, Cake Factory and the Turtle Farm. Brilliant way to get to grips with the island and see what it has to offer. The turtles are cute too! :)

This port was cancelled as it was not safe to dock the boat.

Costa Maya

We took the tour to the Ni Lim Punit Mayan Ruins and a local spice farm. Fascinating tour with Mayan guides around the ruins, and the Spice Farm is beautiful with a brilliant selection to buy afterwards.

Harvest Caye

This was part of a two piece tour of West Bay Kayak and Snorkel - plenty of time dedicated to both activities and the guides are great. 

Combined ATV Adventure on a Dual ATV to the Jade Cavern and a stop at Playa Mia resort. ATV adventure was a blast, the Jade Cavern is pretty and the guides are all about fun as well as safety. Playa Mia a nice stop to relax after but ultimately you still need to pay for food and drinks here on top of your excursion cost, so this needs factoring in.

One of our party booked the Passion Island VIP Beach Day, but was told the tour had been cancelled by the operator after waiting 30 minutes at the port. NCL tried to organise an alternative to Playa Mia, but this meant the group had to wait at the port for over 2 hours, then were told upon getting to Playa Mia that no drinks or food were included. As much as NCL tried to save this, the organisation out of the cancellation was poor, a lot of time was wasted, and the party did not feel well looked after by anybody at any stage.

CONS: Some activities and dining options fully booked long before embarkation day, ports are likely to be cancelled if there is bad weather, initial costs for packages and excursions are steep.Equally, where the ship encountered bad weather, they close the pool and jacuzzi/hot tub in this area as well as the upper floors, so this isn't an option for bad-weather-days either.
