February 2024 - 7 Night Eastern Caribbean (Port Canaveral Roundtrip) Cruise on Norwegian Escape
May 2023 - 11 Night Transatlantic: Halifax & Akureyri (New York To Reykjavik) Cruise on Norwegian Prima
Mixed Emotions for this Cruise
Overall, the cruise had some high points and some very low points. The ports that we did visit were amazing. Overall, the food and service was outstanding. Unfortunately the rough weather led to something being canceled on the ship. Overall, loved the ship other than the new layout of the Thermal Suite that makes you feel that you are in a dungeon. The Thermal pool was closed half the time. Very disappointed that they removed the relaxing bars out of the Thermal pool. That was my favorite part of the Thermal Suite.

Carnival Magic
Sail date: July 09, 2016
The dinning experience was horrible! Service was extremely slow and inattentive. Food would sit until luke warm at best. One night we set for 15 minutes before we got any service. Quality of food varied from good at best to poor, especially the seafood. The best thing going for the ship was their Cruise Director. Dr E was always up beat and entertaining. Needed some assistance once and after asking 6 crew members for help with no avail, gave up and took matters in my own hands and not at anytime did someone from the crew ask if they could help. Will probably never do another Carnival cruise again!
Cruise tips
Unable to get there in time to visit due to bad weather.
Norwegian Prima
Make sure to study the layout of the ship prior to sailing. Make sure to make all dining and entertainment reservations as soon as they come available prior to sailing.
Was unable to go to this port due to the work of the dredging not being completed in time.
Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
This was our favorite port. We really enjoyed going to the wild life reserve and being able to interact with the monkeys and birds. It was absolutely beautiful. The beach was beautiful and we did snorkeling on our own and it was amazing.
The port was very nice and clean. We did the culinary experience where we cooked a three coarse meal and it was a lot of fun. The beach was beautiful but due to high winds we were not allowed to get into the water.
The actual port itself was not well designed and friendly. The snorkeling excursion was the best of the whole cruise. The fish was beautiful with a variety of different fish. Would highly recommend the glass bottom boat snorkeling excursion.
NCL has done an amazing job with this port. It is a beautiful port with amazing beaches and pool. Parasailing was a lot of fun and the snorkeling excursion was wonderful.
Really enjoyed the day in New Orleans, especially the carriage ride.
Norwegian Breakaway
Enjoy everything about the ship that you possible can. Don't have too high of expectations on the quality of the food.
Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)
A lot of great things to do!
Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
Can't review! Captain decided to skip this Port!
Carnival Magic
I would highly recommend that you have scheduled dining time and don't do anytime dining.
