Review summary

We have been on this cruise 4 or 5 times on different ships. We have always enjoyed the trips, food, service and the people we meet. As with all cruises, it can be as active or as restful a cruise as you want.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and easy. No long lines or delays.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Ate dinner in specialty restaurants every night. Breakfast and lunch in buffet and dining rooms.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Favorite activity was the Vibe sun deck. quiet, peaceful with excellent staff. for us, it was worth the extra cost.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
As always, the staff and service was top notch. We did feel that less staff were doing more work.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Common areas were always being cleaned. Once you took a trip around the ship, you were familiar with the layout. Did not find any printed maps to help though.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was comfortable and clean. We had a larger balcony with table, chairs, and 2 lounge chairs. Every inch of space serves a function for unpacking luggage and a little planning helps a lot.

Ship tip

If you enjoy coffee and coffee based drinks several times a day, invest in the optional Starbucks package. We definitely got our money out of it.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

3 out of 5
No excursion. Food is great but expensive like everywhere else now. French Quarter is fun but usually smells like a pot farm.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
No excursion. We have been here many times and enjoy the shops and restaurants.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

3 out of 5
Advise you to stay in the tourist areas. No excursion.

Harvest Caye, Belize

4 out of 5
NCL owned port I believe. Very clean and tourist oriented shops with a ferry to the mainland if you want.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Wife stayed on the ship as she did not like this port the last time, I went ashore and thought it had really improved with many new shops and restaurant/bars. I liked it. Cabs available for a short ride to a big shopping area. This an Cozumel were my favorite stops.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We did a self walk off carrying our luggage. ait was a long walk but and easy process and we were off by 9. Customs was very easy.

Nice review. I am cruising on Breakaway shortly and have a question for you: I know that the show “Six” is no longer on the ship, but did they replace it with another broadway type production? I can’t imagine they have the large theater sitting unused. Their customer service people don’t know and don’t think they should find out. I’d really like to book whatever is happening ahead of time to avoid the rush later. Thanks!!
