We were fortunate enough to grab an Aft balcony on this beautiful mid sized ship which gave us epic panoramic views

When we booked this cruise, we did so thinking NCL's Harvest Caye would've been completed month's prior to our cruise. However, due to construction delays, we found ourselves dropped off in a tourist trap of souvenir shops that we were hesitant to wander out of given the King Kong sized wall outfitted with barbed wire surrounding us...worst port of the itinerary and very disappointed that we wasted a day here.
