Review summary

Overall, cruise was ok. I would have preferred a scheduled dinner time to the free style of Norwegian. But the boat was very rocky. Got the drink package and shore excursion. Drinks were good and strong, however didn't like the shore excursion. It is $50 per cabin and not per person. There were 2 of us in the room and thought we were both going to get the $50.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
We had a embarkation time of 9:30 but couldn't get on the ship until 12, so we waited to board. Line was long but was ok.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Wasn't told that we needed to make reservations for main dining rooms before we board. So we ate everyday at 5:30 at either Savor or Taste. Those were the only 2 we could get in. Also ate at the Steakhouse. Good, and reasonably priced.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Didn't like how the staff didn't enforce the adult only pool or hot tubs. There were kids constantly in them. Karaoke was fun.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Wasn't a fan or Cirque performance or their food. However, Burn the Floor and Million Dollar Quartet was so worth it! DJ and bands were good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All attentive and very friendly.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was huge but good. HOWEVER, this ship rocked ALOT! and noone ever said why. Like, everyday. Not a good look.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Had a mini suite. It was ok. About 30 ft larger than a regular balcony, but the balcony wasn't larger. Shower and balcony door were hard to work at first

Miami, Florida

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

Did the BOSS Underwater Adventure. It was so much fun! It included snorkeling also. Then hired a tour guide. She took us to the Roatan sign, to a restaurant where we ate iguana and to the highest peak of the island.

Harvest Caye, Belize

3 out of 5
Just hung out at the beach. Also, did the pool for a little while and the swim up bar. Lots of seaweed in the water. Didn't want to tread through it to enjoy the beach.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
Did a tequila tasting and it was amazing! However, didn't do much shopping. Felt like we were being followed when we walked into stores.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Did a dolphin all inclusive. It was AMAZING! Rode the dolphin and then could have snorkeled, paddle boarded or kayak. Also had unlimited drinks and food.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and efficient!
