Review summary

For the price of the cruise we really couldn’t complain. Although we weren’t overly impressed with the food, we still had a relaxing cruise and that’s what we were looking for.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
We had 2 specialty restaurants included with our package and as usual, we were impressed with the quality. Cagney’s serves up a great steak, and the pork loin at Le Bistro was great as well. As frequent NCL cruisers, we were disappointed by the food in the main dining rooms though. We usually brag to friends that eating in these venues was like eating in a nice restaurant. Not here. Food was mediocre at best. For the first time cruising, we actually thought the food in the buffet was better. Our old staple for breakfast, O’Sheehan’s didn’t disappoint. ‘

Hit and miss, but for the most part very friendly

Ship Quality

Didn’t feel like an old ship. NCL did a nice job updating her.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Room was small but serviceable, typical room. The toilet was odd. It almost seemed it didn’t fit in the space. It was at an odd angle and anyone above average size might have to tuck in your knees and elbows to do your business.

Ship tip

The Spinnaker Lounge a quiet place to chill

Kinda like an mini resort, great pool and beach. The Ultimate Beverage Package does NOT apply here however and drinks were ridiculously expensive. C’mon, $9 for a small beer?

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

Should have done an excursion. Town a mini shopping center, a couple of hours is enough.
