Review summary

My favorite part of the cruise was the entertainment. The staff serenaded us every morning with song. We enjoyed the magic show & dinner, as well as the Japanese restaurant with the singing chefs. The "Burn the Floor" theatre show was excellent, better than Dancing with the Stars ! 

 

The food in the Garden Cafe was alright, I would have preferred more of an exotic variety other than the traditionally prepared chicken, fish & steak.

 

Was surprised with Hawk's Caye Belieze beach excursion. There was no food provided by NCL for the guests. We had to pay for any & everything on the island. I was use to NCL's private island where they tendered us over and provided food & drinks. The only saving grace was the beach, which was very nice. 

 

All in all enjoyed my cruise from check- in to check- out. The crew & staff are always very professional. 

Norwegian is my cruise line!!

No complaints. All of our needs were met and exceeded expectations

Ship tip

Do not pack a lot of dressy/formal clothes, or clothes period. You only need 1 formal outfit, if you're doing the formal dinner, but other than that, just about anything goes.. and most of the time you'll be in swimwear ....

Had a local tour, not an excursion and our tour guide personalized the trip just for us. Had a great time seeing the island & learning about the culture.
