Review summary

Don’t book too many excursions. We did every port because of the deal ncl was offering. The ship is in good shape . Our room was nice, and a good size for 2 of us. We celebrated our anniversary, ncl or our travel agent recognized it nicely. Ncl is our preferred cruise line.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The local needs a lot of work. Slow service, food not good. Main dining rooms very good. The 2 specialty restaurants were very good. Recommend Cagneys if you like beef.

Cabin / Stateroom

Very large bathroom. Balcony tight, but we knew it was small to begin with. 2 fit on it comfortably

Ship tip

Don’t get lost because it takes hours to find your family

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

4 out of 5

Ok port. We did the Jeep excursion, would NOT recommend. Old jeeps, you mostly drive in the city amongst cars trucks etc. the off road is very rough. We had to walk quite a distance back to the ship.

Mazatlan, Mexico

We did the bus tour and Mexican show. The “cliff divers” really work you for money.

Thumbs Up 1

Ensenada, Mexico

5 out of 5

Ensenada is pretty dirty. We did the blow hole and wine tasting. Lots of walking through vendors to get to the blow hole. VERY CROWDED. The wine tasting is not set up very well for the crowd. Too many people.
