Review summary

My wife and I will travel with Norwegian again. We are already booked for November 2018, Boston -> San Juan. We will pay attention to excursions that involve tendering as this was the low point of this cruise.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
A little long of a wait. Arrived around 11:30 mind you. Once we were welcomed on the ship it took just shy of 1 hour before the rooms were accessible.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffet was very good. Good diversity of offerings. Cagney's is FANTASTIC. La Cucina was excellent. Teppanyaki left me unmoved.

Onboard Activities

The bar tenders looked unimpressed. Not smiling, just going through the motions.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
the stage shows were quite good. Legends in concert was very good.

Children's Programs

Only my wife and I.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
As usual the staff was very courteous and smiling. Except for the bar tenders at The Great Outdoors. They did not smile once. Quite a contrast to the Jade from Barcelona last year...

The tour left something to be desired. Had to extract the information out of our guide. The tendering operation was horrible.

Santo Tomas De Castilla, Guatemala

Nice tour of the City. A very friendly and informative guide on the Trolley tour.

Belize City, Belize
