Fun! Great options on the ship for food and activities. The staff was amazing and friendly! Would recommend NCL to others but if they want pool options maybe try a different ship

Pool was fun but not enough room for everyone on the deck. Too bad there isn’t more hot tubs and pool area.

We planned our own excursion as the one offered by ship was closed. Highly recommend catamaran by Catvi.com. Was a great experience!

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

4 out of 5
Ok. Bus to beach that was just ok

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
We did sone snorkeling, played volleyball, ate great food. Would have been nice to have more options for places to get drinks. Took too long to just get a glass of pop

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Getting off was ok but then we had to stand in line for over 1 hour for the transfer to the airport. In hind site we should have gotten off in or own to get an Uber or Lyft. Bus driver was great

Glad you had a great cruise. Seems people from all cruise lines have the same issues of not enough space/ chairs at the pool
