Review summary

A port intensive itinerary with lots of history involved on the tours. We enjoyed all of the ports. Looking to book another cruise to the same ports. We like how NCL runs the excursion meeting place in the Theater or aft dining area. Very organized doing it this way.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
embarkation was smooth, we arrived at 930AM. Waited outside for 20 minutes or so and then they opened the building.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

We stayed in the Haven. The Haven food was always very good. Also ate at Cagney's and Le Bistro. The food in those restaurants was also very good.

Fast getting off staying in the Haven. The ship uses facial recognition which helps.
