Overall, this was an amazing cruise. All the ports were great. Other than some disappointment with the quality of the food we very much enjoyed ourselves. I would highly recommend this cruise to others.

Since we had been upgraded to the Haven it was quick and very relazing.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
The main dining room provided a good verity of food although the quality was just a little better than average. The La Cucina (Italian) was not good at all. We could not even eat either of our main courses. Cagney's steaks were amazing although the side dish that we got on the Encore just 3 months ago that was so amazing was not even edible so my wife was extremely disappointed. The Haven restaurant was amazing although it was the same menus every day and the dinner menu did not have the verity that I would have expected so after only a couple of dinners my wife wanted to go to the main dining room. Overall, was very disappointed with the quality of the food on this ship.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We enjoyed the pools and hot tubs. I enjoyed the slides very much. The fitness center was very nice and I took advantage of it every morning.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Burn the Floor was very disappointing. There was no theme to it and the music and dancing seemed to just repeat itself. Velvet was very entertaining although not worth the extra cost for the dinner and show. Six was canceled which was very disappointing.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Our room steward was amazing. Very friendly and quick to respond to any request. Overall, the staff was friendly but not as willing to be as helpful as the staff on our last cruise on the Encore. We had breakfast in the main dining room on the last day at sea and the service was terrible. Requested something and the waiter never even returned to let me know if it was available or not.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We were actually upgraded at the last minute to the Haven to Cabin number 15112. What a difference in made in the comfort and size. The bed was the most comfortable bed that we have ever slept on. My wife was so concerned about the bed being too hard, but as soon as she laid on the bed in the Haven she was in heaven.
Ship tip
Enjoy everything about the ship that you possible can. Don't have too high of expectations on the quality of the food.
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.
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.
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.
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.
