Miami is a little chaotic but hopefully this will improve with the new terminal opening this year.

Busy cruise but plenty to do.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Choir of man was excellent and also watched the crew talent show, also very good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
As always with NCL staff / crew were attentive and delivered excellent service. Our room steward was great and nothing was too much to ask for. I wish them all well for the future as this was the last cruise into Miami before shutdown.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Took ages to get off on the tender but lots of ships in port that day. Did an excursion to Chicenicsa. Very long tour in a very cramped minibus. Again took ages to get back to the ship. Nice day but very rushed.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
Busy little port. Felt a little bit harassed walking around so didn't explore too much. Probably a good idea to book an excursion.

Harvest Caye, Belize

5 out of 5
Took a while to get off due to tendering but lovely island. We did the kayaking which was good fun.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We were luckly to be one of the last ships back into Miami before the cruise shut down. It was very strange getting back and very busy. Felt sorry for those meant to be joining the cruise ship that day and for the crew.
