Picked this cruise to go to the Caribbean with some friends. They chose not to go due to Covid, but we went anyways. We had fun, and relaxed quite a bit. The short of it: WE skipped Great Stirrup Cay as the seas were to rough to tender. Captain chose to just head on towards St Thomas. Which was great for me, as I think that Great Stirrup Cay is nothing more than a cash grab for NCL. Went there once, don't really care to go back. St Thomas was as expected, though quite a bit slower due to recovering from the 'Rona.

And about that....the ship had a full complement of crew, but had only about 35% capacity for passengers. Which made it great for us. No reservations needed for almost everything. Food was as expected, but the portions were huge! Food was expected NCL quality, and Teppanyaki was great!

Deck plan makes the pool deck a bit smaller. Similar to the Joy (which we took the the Panama Canal) but just rearranged differently. Also no shade on top deck. Read more
