Review summary

Everything was absolutely amazing on board and we had an amazing time. The outdoor parties were fabulous and energetic in the day and night. Mark Viega kept us laughing until we cried. He is by far the best comedian ever! The shows kept us coming for more. The dancers were stupendous and so incredibly talented. The games were so hilarious and entertaining. We cannot wait for our next cruise !

Ship tip

The only big disappointment with Norweigian was the excursions which were over priced for what you got. They were commercialized and Inpersonal. Book excursions with other companies in small groups you will get much better service. We experienced a huge difference.

Roatan Océan Adventures company offers a variety of excursions. We did the snorkeling one and could not have asked for a better experience. A real must see ***

Harvest Caye, Belize

Belize from the dock was very pretty but disappointed with the merky green beach water with jellyfish.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

We rented a golf cart and took it to a beautiful nearby beach with pleasant service from the bar and restaurant on location.

Thumbs Up 3

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5

I’m sure Cozumel has many more beautiful beaches but Playa Mia is not one of them and their buffet was awful. This was one of the cruise excursions we took - not worth the time and money go explore elsewhere.
