Great ports if you’ve done the Caribbean over and over again. All beach days if that’s what your looking for because you’ve been to the same places over and over. Beach and pools with free chairs to use at each port. Walk off or tender off for the beach.

Review summary

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Italian specialty restaurant no big deal Main dining room was fine however don’t expect escargot or lobster on the ship they do not serve it

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools were crowded. No separate area for kids so prepare to be splashed and enjoy the noise of kids

Entertainment

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Now that we purchase drink cards drink service on the sundeck isn’t great they only have two people working the whole deck. Basically you get up and go get your own drink They also are not very quick to clean up dishes cups and spilled messes they lay there all day till the end of the day when they clean up

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Again they can do a better job keeping the sundeck clear of dishes and cups and cleaning up messes instead of waiting till the end of the day to do it

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
For a very small inside cabin it was fine lots of storage no problem for two people to find space to put all your stuff away Stays nice and dark for night time sleeping Betting was fine we had travel buddies that complained of the beds being too hard however they got them to put a topper on their bed and then they were happy

Ship tip

It’s a smaller ship not much in the way of decor nothing exciting about the ship but the ports of call I did like since I have sale in the Caribbean 37 times and have no reason to get up at most ports

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
It’s clean, you can walk off the ship to it they have swimming pools right there no charge as well as poolside chairs no charge, there’s plenty of shopping, very clean port you can swim with the dolphins right at the port or choose just to watch the dolphins which was pretty cool, several bars to sit and drink while looking out at the blue ocean, They also have a bird sanctuary that is pretty cool to walk through above everyone for $12 a person

Harvest Caye, Belize

4 out of 5
This is NCL’s private area they developed in Belize it is beautiful clean and safe you walk off the ship to beautiful resort like pools and beach no charge chairs available no charge beautiful port however all food and drinks you must use credit card or cash for ship card does not work here even though it is in NCL’s private area

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
This is in NCL’s private island it is beautiful you tender in, your ship card works for bar service here no charge for chairs explore the whole area beautiful views. Beautiful beach and water to swim in on this private island
