Review summary

Overall was awesome, spoiled with the low capacity and got to enjoy alot of things with no crowds

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Went on bus directly from airport to hotel for testing. Was back at the pier in about 30 min and check in took about 15 min. Overall process was very organized and speedy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was awesome as always with NCL. Buffet was always different for dinner and the main dining rooms were spectacular. Bartenders did a fantastic job with drinks and always smiling.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Waterslides were fun and bowling at O'sheehans was a blast. A little too much Latin music for me but still got you moving a little bit

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Burn the floor was a disappointment and not really alot of family shows to watch.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
From wait staff, bartenders, room steward to greeters everyone was always happy and willing to help with anything. A waiter from the pool deck saw me struggling to carry 3 drinks he ran over put them on a tray and brought them to our cabin.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ports of call

Oranjestad, Aruba

4 out of 5
Took a cab to Eagle beach then did some local shopping. Extremely hot, got very sunburnt

Castries, St. Lucia

2 out of 5
Did the beach escape excursion, what a disappointment. Drive there was bumper to bumper traffic, beach area was way too overcrowded, beach chairs were old and broken, paid $20 for 2 beach umbrellas the were ripped and the facilities were disgusting.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Didn't do anything here but San Juan is beautiful

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Did an independent excursion with SKN Jeepers were we drove our 4x4 jeep through alot of interesting terrain. From muddy trails through the mountains to highways alongside the Atlantic this was amazing. Stopped at a beachfront restaurant for some rum punch and a light lunch, very tasty.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Did the hato caves/city tour. Caves were cool and learning the history of Curacao was interesting. Did some local shopping as well

Kralendijk, Bonaire

5 out of 5
Rented golf carts from Bonaire cruisers. What a blast we had exploring on our own, definitely would recommend. Island was very beautiful

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
