Review summary

NCL is a good cruise line with the same problems that others have. Chose your excursions carefully, and be sure to ignore those sellers that try to take your money. Good luck.

Ship tip

Internet system is odd. Always a long line to fix their account.

Ports of call

Harvest Caye, Belize

3 out of 5
Kind of boring, but lots of room.

Cozumel, Mexico

2 out of 5
Tulum was great, but tender to mainland was long and rocky … many seasick people. Storefront sellers were obnoxious and pretended to know you from the ship. Be careful.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

2 out of 5
Excursion was below average.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
Store sellers were obnoxious.

We love Ncl and have been on the Getaway before it is one of our favorite ships. Unfortunately, when cruising in Mexico and the Carribbean, the ports are very similar and not too exciting ( we are not beach people). We are going on this itinerary soon with friends and family. Looking forward to it.

I've been on many NCL cruises. They've been taking away a lot of ports..not good. We've not cruised with them since 2023. We did like the line, but we're done
