Review summary

Experiences of a lifetime!! Top notch entertainment!

Embarkation

2 out of 5
The airline put us on a 6am flight to Miami and with a three hour delay we almost missed the ship. This was the first time we booked with the cruise line. We always fly in the day before to avoid this issue. I would think twice before letting the cruise line book my flight again

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food was ok but it seemed everything was an up-charge. On all the other Lines I have cruised I always received bottled water with the premium beverage package. I was upset to find out I had to purchase bottles of water to carry around the ship. It was just pointing to say the least.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
There was a lot of games and activities going on around the ship. It was fun to sit and watch a game show or listen to a comedian pretty much whenever we wanted. I I had a great time and was very entertained!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The entertainment was hands-down the best part of the crew on board! The Broadway style shows were out of this world I wish I could’ve seen them all twice

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
They were helpful and friendly! I really enjoyed the crew parade and the encore performance they put on the second to last night of the cruise! It was really fun and they made us feel special.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was designed beautifully and I thought it was very clean. I am a neat freak so I would know LOL

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had an aft balcony mini suite. We had tons of room and a gorgeous view! My only complaint would be that our cabin tended to be warm.

Harvest Caye, Belize

Beautiful clean new safe island. The only complaint I would have is that I didn’t get the authentic feel I would have if I was Actually in Belize.

In addition to the other comment... you can ask NCL to fly you in one or two days prior for $25 deviation fee. Just fyi for next time! :)

If the cruise line books your flight they will hold the ship.
