Review summary

We had a great time. I will say that this NCL cruise was significantly more than RC or Carnival that we have booked for this year on comparable ships. I did not find it better than Royal and for the price difference, probably will not cruise with NCL again, unless the price is right!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The go carts were alot a fun. We didn't care for the mini golf. The pool was very small, but we used the infinity pool on deck 8, which was really nice.

Entertainment

Love Port Canaveral

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
There is so much to do here. We have actually been here about 12 times and done a different excursion each time. This time we did the Salsa and Salsa excursion which was so much fun. Plenty of margaritas to go around.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
We love Grand Cayman. Done so many excursions here and the swimming with stingrays and snorkeling is the best. This time we took a taxi to 7 mile beach and spent a few hours snorkeling.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

2 out of 5
Always get accosted in Jamaica. There is alot of pressure from the locals to buy, it borders on harrassment. We only shopped a short while and went back to the ship.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
Wow, this was amazing. We snorkeled and saw a lot of fish. The water is crystal clear and calm.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
We parked across the street and payed the high fee to do so, that way we could get out and home quickly. The ship was docked at a different terminal and we have to bused with all of our suitcases along with hundreds of other people. This took an additional hour. If I knew this ahead I would have parked off site, save lots of money and time.
