Review summary

Changing the itinerary did not add to the positive input. The physical ship is extremely attractive, and some members of reception and their superiors were extremely helpful. The price of water was outrageous. The fact that water or juice was not accessible from the pool was inconvenient. One had to go into the buffet area to get water. The ship also pushed crackets to win monetary prizes prior to each performance of the evening. On a positive note, the singers of the show were the best I have ever seen. Without the Las Vegas costuming, they mesmerized the audience. I will most likely not book an NCL cruise again. This was the second, and certainly does not compare to other cruise lines.

Ports of call

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
Too short a time in this port.
Don't Miss: Go to the arch by boat, and if time, swim. We didn't have time

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
A typical shopping town. But instead of the Caribbean style, it was Mexican.
Don't Miss: I did the swim with the horses. OUTSTANDING
