Review summary

So much rain on this trip. Locals said they got 1 month’s rain in our first 2 days on the island. Had a good time though. Will have to try again another time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Needed a little assistance so I messaged NCL in advance. They gave us a point of contact and a specific place to go. They helped us skip all the lines because of our health issues.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Tappanyaki was by far the best food on the ship. Everything else was very good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pool was far too crowded with kids. Yes summer, but kids were in the adult pool and hot tubs constantly. Hot tub was never “hot”, barely lukewarm.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Footloose was incredible.

Children's Programs

Left the kids at home.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Wish there was a deck that you could walk around the whole ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Standard, nothing special. No obstructions.

Avoid when the kids are out of school, unless you have kids, lol.

Far better than Tampa. They at least had it set up so that you could sit down when the line stopped moving.
