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.

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
