Review summary

Upon sailing we were informed that visit to Nassau was cancelled due to strong winds and rough waters.  Puerto Rico was added but we didn't arrive there until 5:30pm will departure time of 11pm.  It didn't bother me as I have been there before but many people were upset as it was already dark outside and some excursions were cancelled.  The first Aqua show was cancelled due to rough weather.  The second Cats show and the Come Fly with Me shows were cancelled due technical difficulties. The departure process in the terminal was a nightmare as our hotel shuttle bus didn't show up for 1 hour due to traffic congestion.  At the same time as our ship arrival, there was also Disney, and Norwegian Epic.  Needles to say, massive amounts of people and vehicles.  First time on the ship and didn't mind the massive size as there is a lot to do.  Booked another cruise for next January 2018.

Ship tip

Book shows early online or onboard. Book reservations for dining after seeing week menu. Day 4 of cruise they sell 10 drink tickets for $79 plus 18% gratuity. Good for drinks up to $13. All drinks are very expensive on ship including beer (6.95 and up)

Agree on the departure process as you. We had luggage tag #16 and when we were called the family behind us in line had 28, that's were the problems start. I said something to a RC crew member, and she didn't do anything. The guy went as far as pulling his baggage tag off. However they were turned back by security at the gangway. Pay back.
