Pros- Freestyle cruising, Great Value for the price, Choice of restaurents food was generally good Cagneys,public rooms and shows.Staff was excellent.Nice clean ship with great layout(never got lost)lots of activity choices.
Cons-could definitly improve on embarkation process.info on sea conditions not up to date.Smoking...Would pass on private island, Casino and bingo.osumel
Summary: This is our third cruise,two previous with Carnival. NCL has a bit more class,not the party animal croud.I was impressed with the service.We learned from past experience to book our shore excursions beforehand on-line,saved a bundle and new what to expect. Would cruise with NCL again.
Highlites of shore trips-
Cosumel- Took taxi to paradise beach-good choice
Belize- Regies Cave tubing-Excellent!
Roatan-Theris Dixon tour Enri-best guide nicest beach!
Grand Cayman- Capt. Marvin stingray city and snorkel must experiance
Ocho Rios- walked to Margaritaville beach and lobster Daves A-1
