Wouldn’t mind another cruise to these destinations in better weather.
Embarkation

Long time to get through security. Actual check in was quick and then came the worst, open boarding by the time we went into the holding area and up the escalator. No NCL reps anywhere to be found and the line came to a halt at the top with more people still coming up. Which means we began to get smashed into other people. Will think twice about taking a cruise out of NOLA again.

Never had any robes in our room for the first two days. After 4 phone calls and still no results, we strategically relocated two from the spa into our room. Didn’t see the room steward as often as we have on other ships, but he did have it clean for us for the first 7 days. Day 8 & 9 started to slack a little, but still clean. We did the upgrade for this room from a regular balcony to the spa balcony. Although the spa was nice to relax in, I don’t believe I will do it again.
Ship tip
Get the dining package and bring a hotel room key from the hotel you stay in the night before. Makes it easy to not use your ship key card to power the lights in your room.
Did the Mayan ruins excursion through NCL. Was a great trip with a little bit of time left at the end to shop through the straw markets at the port on the way back.
Only downside to this one was the weather. High winds forced us to tender from Spots Bay which then made the trip to George Town an extra 15-20 minutes. And was informed that traffic is heavier in the afternoon so it was advisable to head back early. Cutting our time short and not allowing us to get a couple things in that we wanted to.
Rained during this day, but the excursion to the park was still worth it. The port itself is under construction, with not much to do there. Very small area to move around in.
