Review summary

My second cruise but my first one was 40 years ago, needless to say things have changed quite a bit and I think Iam hooked.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Probably my only complaint is hard to get a drink at the bars. Especially pool bars. You really need to have patience.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Not positive on cabin number. Level 4 porthole view. Didn’t like the squeeze between wall and bed but otherwise fine. Steward was great.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

2 out of 5
Had to stand on the dock in line for 1/2 hour before we got going. Nowhere to sit so I was done before it even started. I gave it a shot but I have standing &walking issues so I had to turn around and get back on the ship. I went to excursion desk and they refunded me with out a problem so that was good.

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Also good. I booked a shuttle through NCL but couldn’t find where to go so I took a cab to Coco beach then had lunch at Sandbar sports grill almost on the beach. Great day. Cab was $40 each way

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
This was awesome. Go early to get a spot but very enjoyable.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth
