Review summary

This is my fifth cruise, and my third on Norwegian. I enjoy Norwegian's relaxed atmosphere and ease of dining (no need for dressing up). A variety of activities are offered if one wishes to join a group, and if not, there is plenty of time to relax around the poolside or have a drink at one of the many beverage bars. Even in the buffet, the food is good, though I find it better (fresher made) in the restaurants. The itinerary was enjoyable--learning about the Mayan culture at several stops. Crew members are always available, friendly, and helpful. Entertainment offerings were very good. Lines were short and fast for embarkation and disembarkation.

Though necessarily small, the cabins are laid out well with plenty of closet and drawer space for my (and my husband's) needs.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Seeing Tulum was fascinating, but made for a long day as it takes a 45 minute ferry ride and another 45 minutes in a van each way.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We very much enjoyed the zip line and a "eco-walk" which we had booked through Shore Excursions Group (not Norwegian). The guides were humorous and knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna..

Harvest Caye, Belize

3 out of 5
We were unable to dock at Harvest Caye due to an "obstruction" in the channel, so anchored in the bay off Belize City. My husband and I chose to stay on board, but I heard from others that local offerings were plentiful and interesting and fun.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico
