Review summary

This is our 4th Norweigan cruise and I would rank it near the bottom. The ship was ok and Belize was a bust as a port of call.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Went smooth, rooms were ready around 2

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Overall good food. We tried a couple of the speciality restaurants but weren't overly impressed. Moderno's steakhouse was ok as the choice of the meat doneness was lacking.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
No pool, hot tub or sitting space on deck. The water temperature was cold and the pools were overcrowded. The hot tubs had a minimum of 8 people in them almost all the time, and max occupancy was 6. You spent 15 minutes trying to find a place to put your stuff to get into the water.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Millionaire dollar quarters was amazing!!!!! I would have given the entertainment 5 stars but Burn the floor was overrated and two of the three comedians was boring. Don't miss Cirque though, it was worth the extra money.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
As always, on a Norwegian cruise, these guys rocked it.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ultra clean but felt small.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Had a great room.

Ship tip

If you want the pool get there early.

Ports of call

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
We went zip lining, horseback riding and snorkeling. Had a great time. Didn't get to see much of the city but really enjoyed ourselves. Wouldn't horseback ride again and would bring bug spray.

Harvest Caye, Belize

1 out of 5
What a waste of a stop. This is Norweigan's private island with limited excursions. If you are into going to the beach I guess you'd have a good time, although the pool was extremely cold, the ocean was warmer. I will ensure we never go back there again.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Nice port, we went and saw two of the Mayan ruins, so we didn't have much time to look around.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Good time there, got to spend some time visiting some of the local shops. Be ready to be harassed to buy something, like pharmacy drugs, and rent a vehicle. The local beaches are great but you'll need a taxi, roughly 15 - 20 US.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Smooth but had to walk through a mass to get to our luggage with very little signage and grumpy people directing traffic.
