Review summary

The layout on the ship was such that you had to walk through restaurants and smoky areas to get from one side to the other. That was the only real downside.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Good, we were on early with Priority Access

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We are in main dining and restaurants, which were all very good. We did not go to the Buffett at all. Room service breakfast had few choices.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We spent time in the spa, which was very small but nice. We enjoyed the whiskey tasting.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Shows were limited but good. We enjoyed the musical entertainment in the Atrium each night.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was excellent as always with NCL. We are good tippers and that does make a difference.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Old ship definitely needs a refit, but overall very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Good storage, clean, very small bathroom especially toilet space, bed was just ok.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

4 out of 5

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
Taxi driver strike caused all excursions to be cancelled, which was disappointing. As a result the port was super crowded and the sales people were quite pushy.

Harvest Caye, Belize

4 out of 5
We went on a fishing excursion which was fun. We spent some time at the resort by the pool, which was nice.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
Took Jolly Roger Catamaran snorkeling excursion which was excellent. Port was good, plenty of local shopping.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Large port area was nice. Our excursion was cancelled due to wind so we didn’t get much further than the port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and easy with Priority Access
