Loved our 7 day out of NOLA leaving on 12/12/21. My girlfriend, now fiancé, and I last cruised 2 years ago (pre-COVID) so didn't know what to expect. NCL knocked our expectations out of the park. We felt safe, healthy and ready to have fun the entire cruise. All the staff was friendly, and entertaining. Definitely see "The Six" and the "Syd Norman Band" if you love music and entertainment. We highly suggest the Teppanyaki and Cagney's speciality dining, and the Manhattan Room for dinners. The Garden Café was amazing and exceeded expectations for a buffet (we previously cruised on the Sun and didn't like their buffet). Our favorite bars were Maltings (make sure to see Vlad and Ricardo) and Shakers (Definitely make sure Joy makes you many drinks). Also, if you like shots, Romeo and Rafael (Pool Bar) will gladly poor them while singing, "Shots Shot Shots Shot Shots." Enjoyed our stops in Cozumel, Costa Maya, Roatan and Harvest Caye, though Roatan really was a dump (in my opinion). Pre cruise testing was easy and less than 1700 passengers made for no waits or lines. We had such a blast, and look forward to cruising NCL again soon.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

Got upgraded to the MA club balcony (a surprise to us) and we really enjoyed the extra space and bigger bathroom. The shower had 6 jets and the shower head, and double sinks. The king bed and balcony were awesome. Loved the room, though it spoils me for future cruises.

Port Reviews

Costa Maya

Very grifty. Lots of shops, with good priced items. Best place to do the Chacchoben Ruins excursion

Cozumel

Love walking past the port to some of the bars, including Wet Wendys. They do half priced margaritas on Tuesdays, and they are HUGE and strong. Definitely suggest skipping excursions here and walking around.

Roatan

Not a lot of shops and if you leave the port, you will be harassed by as many people as possible who will follow you. Heard of a cruiser getting robbed in Roatan, so suggest an NCL excursion or staying on the boat here.

Harvest Caye

Manufactured Island, but NCL put a ton of money into it so very nice. Great spot to relax on the beach in the sun. Items on the island are all extra, but really enjoyed our time here.
