Review summary
Cruise was really nice, and ship is beautiful and very well maintained. Great selection of restaurants and bars and lounges. If you go, you must eat one day at the FOOD REPUBLIC (Amazing food , all priced ala carte but so worth it) The only low part of our cruise was the wait staff in TASTE and SAVOR were both really slow, and we were always having to re ask for things we had ordered, and water glasses were almost always empty. Also we recommend carrying in a drink with you, cause if you order from person inside, you will get your cocktail half way thru your meal, so slow. And only other downside was the rude and very inattentive staff in the Garden Café, most would not answer any questions you had regarding what a food is, etc, just look at you and turn away. And the ones working the floor area refilling plates and such would bump into you or just come barreling down the food aisle so you had to get out of there way. Always seems to be mass confusion in Café Area, like no one was on the same page as to what to do, when to do it, etc. The food on the other had was really pretty good for buffet style cooking, good variety and food was always hot and fresh. Bars were great, and all the bartenders were heavy pourers so drinks were always good.

Ship tip
Pick up your luggage tags for getting off as soon as they put them out down by guest services, unlike other cruise where you are assigned a color/time to get off, NCL just puts the tags down on a shelf near guest services half way thru the cruise and you can pick up whatever color you want
Ports of call
Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
