Review summary
Overall, the cruise experience with NCL was less than expected. It felt like there was a lot of "extra" fees and tips once on board. The excursions were hyped up but was actually a stretch of the truth. Not sure I can do NCL again if this is how they are now doing business. This was our 3rd NCL cruise and I used to recommend them, now I cannot.Embarkation

Ship tip
A lot of the good games shows are in the Atrium, this is a horrible location due the bar noise, Guest Services lines, and Shore Excursion desks all nearby. They bring in folding chairs, which is an indicator they know the location is not right. A lot of standing room only, hard to hear due to the noise from the bar, and the small space made it difficult to really enjoy.
Ports of call
Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
