This was my sixth NCL cruise, though my first cruise since the pandemic and I was happy to return. The crew are so delightful, the ship is lovely, and there are activities for everyone and all interests. Also, I felt very safe onboard, as NCL required masks while indoors.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Went exactly as expected from pre-check in COVID testing to check-in to embarkation.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The Garden Cafe (buffet) was excellent. Cagney's Steakhouse, a specialty restaurant, was great as always. The main dining room was good, though we spent more time at the Garden Cafe.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Had a great time attending the various wine tasting events, trivia contests, Bingo (of course), and onboard game shows. The sundeck was nice and the adult-only pool area was a go-to spot on the ship.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Highly recommend The Beatles Experience - it was fantastic. Jersey Boys was the headline show and it was good. There was a comedy act and magician - I enjoyed both.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Top-notch service all around. The staff on NCL is always so nice and energetic and this trip was no exception.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Gorgeous ship, well maintained and super clean.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The size, comfort and cleanliness of my cabin were all perfect. This was my first time in a Club Suite...it won't be my last.
I wish I had not booked a shore excursion here...spent the entire day on a bus and wasn't;t given enough time to explore on my own. The "shopping" portion of the excursion took us to one shop that had nothing I wanted to buy. As a result of that experience, I canceled my other 2 excursions and just explored the remaining ports on my own.
I loved Mazatlan! Great weather, lovely people and so easy to walk around. Just follow the blue line from the port and you'll end up right in the heart of the old city. I had a great lunch here and bought some art.
A bit like walking through a carnival - lots and lots of people hawking their wares. Despite that, it was a nice spot. I had a great lunch here as well.
