Review summary
Everything about this cruise was great, except for the fact that Tropical Storm Cristobal and 11 1/2 foot waves preventing the tenders from the ship from going into Norwegian's private island "Great Stirrup Cay". Can't say enough good things about the food, the entertainment, the spirit of service from all the crew on board. I would definitely recommend Norwegian Cruise Lines again.

Ship tip
Get your breakfast at the buffet, and then eat in "La Cochina", which is air conditioned, instead of eating outside. Be aware of the fact that there is a free land shuttle from the ship's docking pier to excursion points. Saves a 10 minute walk, which helps, especially if you have a cranky hip!
