Great crew, great ship, great experience overall. Not my favorite itinerary but we booked it more for the date (birthday) than the specific destination, so I can’t fault the ports.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Best port experience ever, no lines, no waiting. Got there around 10am, immediately got my ship card, walked directly onto the ship. It was great to not have to be corralled with everyone before slowly boarding.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We went for the premium plus drink package and it was absolutely worth it. First trip with NCL I didn’t have it and didn’t realize the limitations of the basic drink package (my fault, not theirs). This time I did the upgrade and will always do it going forward. I prefer not to think about what I’m possibly charging while I’m on the ship so this let me get what I wanted, when I wanted, without having to pause and think about the end of trip bill. Not everyone is like this, but it’s just my preference.
Onboard Activities

It’s a smaller ship but my group always found fun.

Didn’t go to any shows but the entertainment throughout the ship was good.

The staff were lovely and always helpful. They made sure we were happy without hovering.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Great space management and layout. Would absolutely sail this ship again and I hope it’s available for different ports the next time I sail.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Bathroom is tight, but we knew this beforehand. We brought mesh hanging organizers for the shower and for the outside of the bathroom door. That solved the bathroom storage issue, which we found as our only main room issue.
Oh, also our room safe was broken. We alerted our cabin steward but couldn’t be fixed on our sailing.
There were 2 ships tendering to the island. Just people wandering and lines 20 deep for everything. It wasn’t something we wanted to deal with so we ended up going back to the ship bc at least there we had chairs and no lines. We ended up having a great time on the ship that day so not a huge deal.
Great review. Happy Birthday 🎂 Best way to celebrate!! Hope it was a blast~ Your itinerary is great for a quick getaway & like any other vacation, always what you make of it. Always a win going back to the ship & enjoying all that space to yourselves. Glad your cruise was a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+ experience. Happy cruising 🤩⚓️😎❣️‼️
