Review summary

There were a great many college age spring breakers that dominated the pool deck but were very very well behaved, my hats off to all of you. The ship was keep clean throughout any area we visited or walked through, that is a big plus for me, I don't like to see unkept areas on a ship. The shows were good, comedian sucked, the music was good. My cabin was kept up very nicely by our steward Mr. Ma. All and all it was a good cruise for the money. Thanks again to Norwegian.

Embarkation

The Port was slow without guidance from port personnel at key points.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The main dinning rooms and buffet were good to excellent in food quality, taste and temperature. The service was just as good and friendly despite of all the extra steps taken in ensure health safety.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
One of the main reasons for our cruises is just to sample the live music. There are great many different locations to visit for your musical interest during the cruise, my only hope is that the lines never cuts back on this. We really had a lot of fun with the Latin Band Avalon.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
We mainly followed the Latin Band Avalon which was excellent. I really did not visit any of the other shows or entertainment this time around.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I thought the staff was very good to excellent, I don't believe we met any unfriendly personnel.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was well maintained as far as no visible rust, clean floors and stairwells. During this trip there was a heightened sanitation level due to the virus scare so the crew was out in force wiping everything.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
For an inside cabin it was great and the shower was just almost as big as the one at home.

Ship tip

Have an open mind and don't ever get on a ship with a preconceived notice of how the cruise should go

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Always a fun day at Mahahual, you can walk to the beach or catch a cab to it right out side the port gate. I bring my bike so I always have fun, you can rent a bike on the beach broad-walk for $ 10 USDs

Harvest Caye, Belize

5 out of 5
Another good day at the beach, but it is run by Belize so NOTHING is free not even water. So like Disney world bring money.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

3 out of 5
It's ok not many places to walk to without getting harassed by everyone and their mother looking for something. Again I ride my Bike, yes NCL is very bike friendly as long as it stays in your stateroom when at sea.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Always a nice day at Cozumel no matter what you chose the do. The people are friendly the food is good and there are many beaches to get to by cab no more than 15 minute ride from the port.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
People were very orderly during this walk off.
