As usual, NCL always puts on a great cruise with quality dining and an informal and relaxed atmosphere. We book in the Haven and it provides us access to the private dining area. The staff and crew are extremely friendly and competent.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
The terminal in New Orleans is smaller and more crowded than other ports we've used. Norwegian did their best to reduce the congestion.

As usual all of the Norwegian Cruise Line's restaurants and buffets were excellent. We dined at several of the specialty restaurants, Cagney's Steak House, Le Bistro, Teppanyaki Japanese restaurant and la Cuccina Italian restaurant were our favorites.

Ship tip
Make dinner reservations early at specialty restaurants. The available times fill up quickly.
We took the excursion to Playa Del Carmen for the "Amazing Hidden River". This involved donning wet suits, water shoes, life jacket and lighted safety hat and walking/floating through an underground river in a Cave. This was one of the most awesome excursions we have been tried.
