Review summary

Embarkation

Have your barcode card from CVS and follow directions move to other tent after 20 minutes raise your hand they come check your party. I think everyone is taking precautions before hand. Not sure what would happen if someone tested positive.

Ship experiences

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I like the layout of this ship. Very clean someone always cleaning. Something happened on the pool deck and there was a team on it very quickly.

Cabin / Stateroom

You can’t go wrong in the Haven. We were across from a main door and didn’t hear it. I was on the couch and it was fine. Only thing is would be great if it could tilt towards the back so you don’t feel like your going to roll out. And glow strip or something on ladder going into bathroom at night. You might hit it a time or two. If you find a snack you like you can ask them to bring more of that. I suggest the cookies. Also in Haven make sure you check out the pillow menu.

Ship tip

Go get the crepes ask for bananas and Nutella. Try as many things as you can and don’t be afraid to ask for it the worst they can say is no. Go sit at the front of the ship. Deck 19 keep walk past the hot tub

Ports of call

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

Went to the baths in Virgin Gordy. Someone should take a video through there to show you what you are in for. Ok so maybe that’s just coming from a big guy. Had a great time just had to really think small at a few points. DON’T wear flip flops saw a few people almost slip.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
This place is my second favorite port. Maybe because I don’t think they can leave you there. But they have redone the beach since I was there last. Didn’t Zip line but you can see and hear the people doing it were having fun. Brought own mask and snorkel. Rented vest and made all the difference for my daughter 6$ how can you wrong.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Took a cab into town 4$ a person next time might go to the bay.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

Just walked around to get off ship. Looks like it’s a work in progress. Would’ve sat on the beach chairs but it had rained a little before getting there.

Port Canaveral, Florida

No excursion but the Covid testing NCL has got it down

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Having breakfast in the Haven and not feeling like I was being rushed off the shop and Waiting in the Haven lounge until it was time to go. The face recognition made it quick and easy getting off the ship

Was the mini golf closed completely? Did they have the big theater productions? Thanks for a good review.
