Review summary

Our favorite part was everything on the ship itself. Our room was great, the entertainment was Awesome, the food was Fabulous at all the restaurants and the sailing was Excellent. However, Rotan, Honduras and Belize City, Belize was a huge disappointment. What you see on the "Feed the Kids" or "Help the Animals" commercials we didn't want to see that when we spend over $2,500 on a vacation. We were so disappointed we didn't get off the ship at Costa Maya as we couldn't take another let down!! We did enjoy Conzumel as we even found the resort we want to stay at when we return for a week long vacation in a few months.

Please note: the locals we meet in Rotan were super nice and friendly.

We will continue to cruise with Norwegian as we have never had any problems with them. We J ust would NEVER visit those islands again!!!

Enjoy it all!!! The Getaway has a lot to offer! Only wished they had the Jimmy Buffet Margeritaville open while we were on the cruise ship.

Costa Maya is probably the nicest stop to just get off the ship. It is kind of like Cozumel but smaller and usually not 5 ships in port so it is less crowded. Belize stop is definitely depressing near the port so it is no wonder they are building the new private island to replace the Belize stop. Not to mention the crazy zig zag through the coral reef to get in and out of port in Belize burns fuel

In Roatan we did Little French Key. It was fantastic family owned small island with a small section of animals. I am going again on my upcoming get cruise.

It all depends on the excursion you do in each port. In Rotan- visit a school or an orphanage and bring them supplies. Then go to the beach! In Belize- go to their beautiful zoo! All animals are indigenous to Belize. Costa Maya has beautiful private beach clubs, which you can book Before you cruise.
