Wave runner was well managed and fun. Animal exhibits well done. Hated that we were on an island owned by NCL and neither drink packages or food packages were honored. Wanted to scuba but unable due to short timeline.

Never again. Terrible experience insane long lines. Forget colored tags, all passengers disembark at the same time. VIP feature was worthless and a waste of money.

I don't think NCL owns that island they have GSC and drinks/food are free

Other reviews of this sailing

Overbooked & understaffed means unpleasant moments & bad memories (& possibly dangerous), but there were some good things.

Great cruise. Not so great ship

Great trip-ship was for most part terrible
