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.
