Review summary

It was amazing just pack some patience and you will be fine

Embarkation

Perfect from airport pickup, shuttle to the ship and boarding took less than 3 hours. We had a 2 hour wait at the airport since our flight arrived at 8 am. You cannot get into the ship terminal until 10 am anyway.

I did a non ncl excursion with bermudabyways@gmail.com Heidi cowen was magnificent I suggest going with her to see the island instead of ncl. You get one on one and a local lunch that was amazing.
