Review summary
I hadn't been on a cruise since the late 90s, and "Freestyle" cruising was a much better experience. It was very nice to be able to have a more flexible schedule for activities and dining.
The crew was terrific! Especially our cruise director, "Dingo" Dave. He has a brilliant sense of humor and really added to the fun.
Our only minor criticism is that when we first got on the boat the elevators were really tied up. We finally ended up walking up to our cabin. After everyone got on the boat and settled the elevator situation was much better.
I am now quite a fan of Norwegian Cruise Lines.

Ship tip
1. There is a PDF diagram of the ship that you can download from the NCL web site that is helpful to find your way around. 2. During our trip we embarked on the starboard side of the ship, but all of the ports were on the port side. When you are picking a side you can choose what you want to see.
Ports of call
Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
