Review summary
Home Sunday after a great eight days! Embarkation in NOLA was hectic. Easy luggage drop off then 90 minutes trying to park. The expected and advertised lot next to the terminal wasn’t available and required navigating one way streets getting to the parking “garage” four blocks away, without GPS and paying only in cash. There was a shuttle to the terminal. First stop, Costa Maya, was challenging with five ships in port. If you’ve already seen one Mayan ruin, there wasn’t much to do except browse the shops with the other 15,000 tourists!😩NCL’s Harvest Key off Belize’s mainland was great. Catch and Release fishing with Brandon and John was a blast. Jungle ATV and the Beach in Roatan, Honduras was exciting. Cozumel shopping was ok. The best was the ship with 4,300 new friends! We met several people who knew friends and family. The internet, meals and excursion package was greatly appreciated. The Ropes Course was scary for us old people! JP the magician was a hoot and the other theater shows were also first rate. Tappenyaki and Cagney’s specialty restaurants didn’t disappoint! The Garden Buffet was fun, especially its ice cream cones! However, it’s the staff that make a cruise! Cabin steward Marcelo was very supportive, friendly and competent. Carla and Karen in Manhattan, the main dining room, were exceptional. We were able to sit in their section three nights. Their smiles, knowledge and attitude would melt the most difficult, seasoned cruiser. Self assist debarkation in NOLA required dragging luggage down a flight of stairs then all over the ship and four blocks to the parking garage. Overall, great trip and would recommend this ship and itinerary, especially if you are new to cruising.Embarkation
