Review summary
This was our fourth cruise on four different cruise lines. We took NCL because of the e-mail offer through Alaksa Airlines. It was less than 60 days to departure and we received a very good rate on a balcony cabin. In the past, we have selected large dining tables so we would have the opportunity to meet new people and share the days events. With the freestyle dining on NCL you go to dinner when and where you want. We enjoyed that feature and asked to share our table with other guests so we got the best of both worlds. On a couple of the stops we did not have a full day to visit. Despite that we enjoyed the itinerary. Cruising Mexico was never high on our list since we visit Mazatlan on a regular basis. As it turned out, we were glad that we took this cruise. The staff was friendly, the ship was clean and service was good. We did not like the $71.50 per person for soda pop program and did not participate. The main pool was too small but other than that, it was a good cruise.Ship experiences
