Review summary
We traveled with our daughter, son-in-law and 2 teenage granddaughters. This is the 4th cruise we have taken as a family -- the 1st 3 on RCL (Adventure, Allure and Liberty) and the first on NCL. We wanted a change of pace. It was a great vacation -- the food was second to none -- we loved the specialty restaurants, especially tepanyaki - best hibachi style food we have ever had and the chef kept us so entertained. La Cucina (Italian) and Cagneys (Steak House) were excellent as well. Ate in a complimentary restaurant the other 3 nights - especially liked Tropicana with Live music and dancing. As much as we enjoyed the specialty restaurants and the variety - we missed having the same waiter every night in a dining room who knew us:>) We also loved the waterfront deck -- watching the sunset and having a drink was great. The excursions were the best we ever had - South Port Zip Lining (Roatan), Jolly Roger Catamaran (Roatan), Fury Catamaran (Cozumel) and the private Island Harvest Caye (amazing beach and spectacular pool) - was best private island ever. Now for what we would like to see different -- we loved the mainstreet and central park on Allure -- on Getaway it was very choppy. And we were surprised on Harvest Caye we couldn't use our drink package -- and that the ship didn't offer a bbq or picnic as most private islands do. It was a great holiday and we would definitely entertain doing another NCL vacation with the family.
