Review summary

This was an awesome cruise! Norwegian was fantastic!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy. Arrived at Port of Miami at 10:40 and was on the ship eating lunch by 11:35.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We loved The Manhattan Room for dinner. It was 1 of 3 complimentary dining rooms and it was fantastic. Also loved O’Shehan’s for lunch. Try the wings, they are delicious. We did not do any speciality restaurants, and didn’t feel cheated in any way.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Loved Spice H2O for Adults Only during the day. Although there is no real pool there, the waterfall wading pool was perfect. We didn’t try much of anything else.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We loved the Comedy Shows at Headliners and also the stage shows. Rock of Ages was awesome, even though it was a bit over the top on some sexual content, etc. Definitely not recommended for children, even though some parents don’t listen to the announcements and allow their kids to watch it.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everything was Top Notch!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Cleanliness was perfect. We still didn’t get to see and do everything due to the massive size of the ship.

Ship tip

Have fun and don’t sweat the small stuff! You’re on vacation! Enjoy it.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
We would have enjoyed this port a lot more if the water wasn’t plagued with seaweed right now. They are doing their best to keep it clean, but it’s near impossible. We ended up at The Krazy Lobster after renting a golf cart from a local company and then paid to $20 a person to take a boat out and snorkel for an hour. The massages on the beach for $20 an hr were amazing too.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Absolutely one of our favorite stops! We booked a snorkel, catamaran, Jeep tour through Shore Excursioneer that was like $75 a person that was awesome! Even though you only snorkel for an hr, be sure to stay around Tortugas Beach Club and swim on your own! Take some snorkel gear with you and you will see some amazing things for sure. This was our an awesome day and some of the best snorkeling we’ve ever done and we have snorkeled a lot!

Harvest Caye, Belize

4 out of 5
The pool was awesome, but the beach somewhat disappointing. Water wasn’t clear and sand was rocky. We enjoyed the pool most of the day and returned to the ship early.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Be sure to visit Daniel Johnson Monkey & Sloth! It was soooo much fun!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
It was a very long line to get off the ship, but once off it was super easy.
