Overall, great ship/service/staff/excursions. Loved it!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Smooth onboarding process. Everything went smoothly. Boarded ship quickly and with ease.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Dining rooms and wait staff were exceptional. Food was delicious. Specialty restaurants (especially Cagney's) were excellent.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Nice slides, bars, pools, jacuzzis. Plenty of activities all throughout the day. Bingo is always one of my favs (although we didn't win).
Entertainment
Too tired by the end of the day to stay awake for the shows, although I'm sure they were fantastic (based on prior NCL cruises).
Children's Programs
Children didn't want to attend organized activities, which is why NCL is great or 'freestylin'!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
We had our favorites bar and wait staff, and we stuck with them throughout the cruise. Our room steward was attentive and kept our rooms tidy and with the right necessities.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Everything was well maintained, clean and updated. Easy to know the layout after a day. Had plenty of amenities.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We had 2 rooms, and the size was perfect for the 6 of us. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom/shower was a decent size. Plenty of space for storage!
Ship tip
Bring sneakers and socks to do the obstacle course at the top of the ship. Unable to do that because we did not have the appropriate footwear :/
We visited Gumbalimba Preserve and had an excellent guide. We also went to Tabyana beach which was nice and not overcrowded. Had a nice meal and a few tasty drinks.
One of my favs!!! Great service, nice pools, beautiful beach, and NCL's private island. Not crowded. Plenty of space, and it was fantastic. Nice shops, plus many other activities.
Our original excursion was canceled last minute, and we tried to jump on another to a beach 'resort.' We've been to Costa Maya before, and had a nice time at YaYa beach, but this time is was crowded with no available chairs. The actual port itself is nice with plenty to do if you don't want to do an excursion.
We went to Playa Mia Beach Park, and it was excellent. A lot of free activities like water cycles, sail boating, pools, slides, jacuzzi, etc. We did the 'deluxe' package which included open bar and food all day. Food was delicious and bar service/wait staff were wonderful and attentive. Not packed and plenty of chairs (w/ umbrellas). Great day!
