Review summary
Pack your patience. NCL out of Port Canaveral is a little time consuming. Lots of waiting in lines. Lines for cabs and buses, transfers. Lines to get registered.
Boat is beautiful. Food overall is great. Not very many good options for diabetics needing sugar free options. Pack your own sugar free treats.
Tender boats to Jamaica weren't too bad, again, lots of waiting. Tender boats to Bahamas (NCL private island) bring LOTS of patience for this port. Tender boats took a solid hour minimum to get to shore. They didn't have enough beach chairs set out so many guests had to go find chairs up a hill behind a shed and haul them to where they wanted. Lots of angry guests.
Overall, food was great, treated well by staff, GREAT entertainment. Just lots of waiting on this trip.

Ship tip
Shore excursions through ship are overpriced and geared towards drinkers. If you don't drink, don't do the excursions that include free drinks.
