Review summary
My husband and I went on a cruise to the Southern Caribbean from 1/8-1/20/23. We went with other friends. Embarkation went smoothly. Once onboard, we had lunch at Savor. Food was very good, although, portions were small. Other complimentary restaurants that we ate at included O"Sheehans (Yum), the Tropicana Room (very good, took almost 2 hours), Savor(very good, ate there several times), and the Garden Cafe (crowded, but food was good). Our specialty restaurants included Teppanyaki (Excellent), Cagneys (Good), LeBistro (Good), Moderno (Good), and Ocean Blue (my favorite). Enjoyed the 80's dance at Spice H2O, but found the exhaust from the ship's smoke stack came down into the area. Didn't mind the smell, but did not realize that I would not feel well most of the next day. My friends also experienced the same feeling. The ship in general is beautiful and easy to get around. We all noticed that the ship was not running right. We experienced a lot of shaking when at the back which included many of the restaurants especially on the lower decks. Our Club Balcony Suite (10208) was wonderful. There was plenty of room for 2 people to stretch out and relax. The balcony was sufficient for the two of us to sit outside. The bathroom was spacious with plenty of storage. Our Room Steward was Herbert and he was wonderful and very friendly. My favorite bar area to get drinks was on the pool deck (Waves). The bartenders were extremely friendly and provided great entertainment when interacting with the passengers. NCL excursions were hot and cold. We loved the Coastal Cruise, Steel Band and Beach. Our group also did the Antigua Beach Escape with Lunch. The beach we were taken to was not the original one. The beach was beautiful, the lunch provided was good. However, the conditions of the facilities were very primitive and not clean. We still had a good time. In all, we had a wonderful 12 day cruise. Can't wait until we plan our next cruise.Embarkation

Ship tip
Make sure you have your Cabin Steward take the items from the mini fridge. We were charged for water because it was half gone and my husband and I never touched it. It was explained to Room Steward that we never touched it and he was able to have our money refunded.
