Review summary

This was by far our favorite cruise! Thanks NCL! The staff were amazing, friendly, attentive and interactive. They went above and beyond and it was greatly appreciated! We went with a great group of friends and had the best time. All the ports were amazing and it didn’t even feel like there was a pandemic even happening. That, to me, was the best. I didn’t feel like COVID was being crammed down my throat! It felt like a “vacation”! Just make sure you “washy, washy” every time you do anything.. lol. If anyone is worried about cruising during a pandemic, don’t be, enjoy life and cruising NOW! We had the bestest time ever! Can’t wait to go again!

Fast! No issues and easy to follow all the way through the process.

Ship experiences

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff were amazing! Being that there were only 1300 people (approximately) on the ship, they were very attentive to all who were onboard. Always asking you, if you needed anything and always cleaning.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
My favorite ship so far… Loved the layout and loved the Main Pool area. Being that there were hardly any kids on this cruise, we didn’t have to worry about being splashed or policing of any.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was nice and our steward was on point! Very attentive! Example: our mattress was pretty hard on my back and went and got us an “egg-crate” for our mattress and it helped immensely! Thank you!

Ship tip

We have never done a Spa treatment before, so we treated ourselves to a Couples Relaxation and it was AMAZING! I also went back and got my haircut and a shave, that came with a facial… That too, was AMAZING! Book it! You won’t be sorry!

Ports of call

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

4 out of 5
A very short stay. But, if you get off the ship and venture to the end of all the shops, there is a place called the Aroma Cigar Bar. Go there and have Steve give a Rum tasting of locally made rum’s and you will have the best time. He was a great host and knows his stuff about Tortola and Cigars.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
By far, our favorite stop! We got the private cabana and was NOT disappointed! Due to low passengers, we felt like the island was ours alone. It was AMAZING! Weather was perfect!

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Beautiful place and wonderful Catamaran Sunset Excursion. Beaches are beautiful! Our crew was amazing! They provided a great service and made the Sunset Cruise enjoyable… Thanks Amber!

Miami, Florida

We spent 3 days in South Beach and it was great! Love the Art Deco buildings and the restaurants along the beach.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy. We were in no hurry to get off due to flight schedule. So, we had breakfast and walked off by 0900. Smooth as butter!
