Review summary
This cruise was AMAZING. Very few kids since we avoided school vacation week (yessss!). Tampa is a great port and we wished we had more time to spend there. Cozumel, Costa Maya, Belize, and Roatan were great ports. Belize City was really scummy, but we went on an excursion and had a great time. We went zip lining and cave tubing through NCL. It was expensive but worth it! Cozumel we did the Cozumel Bar Hop, which is through a private company (just Google search Cozumel Bar Hop). The company is run by Canadian and American ex pats. We enjoyed the bar hop so much we really want to go back! At Costa Maya we did a half day excursion through NCL to the Mayan ruins at Chacchoben. We chose the morning excursion and then had time to shop around the port and go to the little beach near by. It was a really enjoyable excursion and was one of the less expensive ruins excursions. At Roatan we did another NCL excursion to Maya Key, a private island a short boat ride from the port. The weather wasn't so great that day, but Maya Key had a wildlife refuge, a nice beach, some historical exhibits, and a nice lunch. The service on the ship was great and the food was awesome. No complaints. Our room was good but our ocean view was an obstructed view (we did know this in advance though, so whatever). The shows were good. We were very wiped from all of our activities in the ports that we didn't spend a lot of time out at night in the bars or night club.
