The staff was constantly cleaning! Washy washy! :-)

Cabin / Stateroom

The mattress wasn't up to my standards, but doable.

Be sure to check out the complimentary restaurants! Don't just do the casual buffet! You will be pleasantly surprised and delighted!

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
No excursion in Miami. Visited with friends in Miami Springs! Had a great time both weekends!

5 out of 5
Very nice port! We also did the bus tour "Best of Roatan" with Island Mom! lol We enjoyed our tour and the very informative narrative from Island Mom (Joanne)!

Harvest Caye, Belize

5 out of 5
Beautiful port/island! Norwegian did an exceptional job creating a unique and wonderful experience at Harvest Caye!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Had a wonderful time in Costa Maya! We also took ferry to Placencia! Very rustic and picturesque island!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We had been to Cozumel before on Carnival. Different port in Cozumel - totally different experience! NCL wins the comparison!! Hands down!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
In a word - Swift! We got a little turned around at first since US and non-US passengers could go out the same way, but the other side only US passengers can disembark. That wasn't made clear, but we found the line and moved swiftly through it! No more immigration forms! Yea!!!

Traveler Photos

Scavenger Hunt in Cozumel, MX! Tour guides: Discover Mexico was a unique experience! Video when they came down won't upload. Fascinating! The Joy of Chocolate excursion! Yes, we made our own chocolate! Beautiful and sunny - Costa Maya! Blue butterfly exhibit! Harvest Caye lighthouse where they "superman" zipline! Great photo opps too! Island Notes! AWESOME! The CREW! BURN THE FLOOR!!!
