Review summary

The ship was a well oiled machine. Everyone and everything had its place and functioned to the letter. Guests and Staff were all very polite and courteous at all times. There was pleanty of room for us all and all activities were well thought out for space and time constraints.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Plenty of security whcih added to our comfort. The presence of so many hawking their deals of excursions etc. made us a little weary. It woudl be much better if the cruise lines woudl control that part of the native's experience better; perhaps confine their activity to a specific set of booths. We also do not feel too safe to just leave the shopping area because of the check points and unkept area around the immediate area of the ship.

Belize City, Belize

Santo Tomas De Castilla, Guatemala

3 out of 5
Poor weather kept us inside all day so our evaluation was not be fair.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
The constant bombardmnet of those seeking to direct our attention to other interests was once again very burdernsome. It does take the enjoyment of just experienceing the pleaseure of another place when one has to fend off all others that continually come up to you and want your attention.

Pros: The ease that everything fits together so well

Cons: The pressure to participate in some event or substance, often with a non-disclosed price until questioned about the cost.

Recommends Norwegian Spirit? Yes!
