Review summary

First time cruising, had no idea what to expect. We have traveled around the world and the Norwegian service was outstanding to the point that we booked another cruise. Be open to new experiences, appreciate and respect the hard work of the crew, and meet new friends. Food, Friends, Drinks, Sunshine, Rymthic Sounds, Sunrise, Sunsets.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

2 out of 5

Classic Mexican Fishing Village evolving into a true tourist destination. Not a lot to do but really great fresh seafood.

Harvest Caye, Belize

2 out of 5

This is not Belize. While the Caye is beautiful it is basically an extension of the ship on land. A bigger pool, expensive food & beverages, and fee driven activities.

Stunning scenery as we cruised into the port. Open, fun welcoming music and dancing from the locals at the dock. Easy exit to excursions. Great diving.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Wish we could have docked earlier and stayed later. Love all things Cozumel. Easy in and out of the port area. Dove with a local concierge dive operation, SeaRobin Cozumel. So much fun.
