Review summary

It was nice to escape the cold February weather and visit the Western Caribbean for a week. We'd never sailed out of the Port of New Orleans - it was an easy embarkation and very convenient to get to from the French Quarter. The ports were generally very good with one exception. Food, beverage, entertainment - always good on NCL.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was very easy. We arrived early and were able to board right away.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate the buffet as well as 4 of the specialty restaurants. The food was very good all around and in some cases, it was excellent!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I spent most onboard time playing bingo and attending art auctions. There were some fun game shows as well a lot of good music throughout the trip.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Burn the Floor was amazing!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff were excellent in all areas.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship is nice, but starting to show its age. It's time for a refresh, but I still rate as good overall.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Typical balcony for NCL - nice and well designed.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
Touristy, crowded and expensive...it feels a bit like a theme park.

Harvest Caye, Belize

5 out of 5
Best port of the itinerary...so relaxing.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
Nice to visit and we did a "best of" tour, but no one accepts credit cards and in retrospect, we should have just walked around and explored.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Long lines...everyone was doing walk-off, so it took a long time to disembark.
