I completely enjoyed every aspect if my cruise vacation. I plan to travel NCL again in the future.

Embarkation

There was a very long delay due to fog. Port personnel handled it professionally and as best they coûld , and my lower rating was the lack of communication from NCL during the process.

Nice city. The excursion was to the international mall because of the fog delay. Nice mall!

Key West, Florida Did not visit port

Itinerary changed to bypass

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
I went to waterfalls. Great fun. The tour guide was very likeable, and taught us a lot about his country of which he is very proud.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
No excursion. Such beautiful ships and yachts in port. Nice to visit the USPS and mail cards.

Oranjestad, Aruba

4 out of 5
Pretty place. The sunset cruise I booked (not thru NCL) I had to cancel because I would not have made ship departure as I was promised. I will not take anything other than an NCL booked excursion.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Snorkeling and beach day was really a nice day. Friendly people, interesting history.

George Town, Grand Cayman Did not visit port

Been there many times. Good day to stay onboard with 4 ships in port.

Disembarkation
