Getting on and off the ship was excellent. The free style dining was great. Food overall was excellent. The 24/7 Irish Pub was a great bonus, buffett food was above average, and specialty restaurants were amazing. The lines in the buffett were minimal and there were plenty of food options. The ship was beautiful and being on a newer ship is certainly a plus. I'll hesitate to cruise on older ships in the future because it seems they've worked out a lot of the kinks from the past.

I thought Roatan was pretty dumpy. The area outside the port was seedy, at best. I didn't get off in Belize. Cozumel was really nice. Costa Maya was a nice spot as well. I really enjoyed the pool, although the drinks in the pool bar were very expensive.

The all you can drink alcohol package was the great and there were no "catches." The dueling piano show was neat and very entertaining. The band, Groove, was great and we saw them in multiple venues. Pool seating was lacking. There just weren't enough where you could see the pool and the stage. The comedy show was quickly booked and the venue was way too small. Overall, I was very pleased with NCL and the ship.

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Cabin BD

The cabin was nice but a bit small. The balcony was smaller than I remember on other ships. The bathroom was a bit more roomy than others. The bed was comfortable, the ac worked fine, and there was enough storage room. Overall, decent room.

Port Reviews

Miami

Just embarked here. Didn't explore. Embarkation process was very smooth.

Roatan

Very dirty outside the pier area. Locals pestered us pretty bad. Unless you have an excursion, stay on the ship.

Costa Maya

Very nice little spot. The pool was refreshing, although not enough chairs. The food and drinks were very expensive.

Cozumel

Not too bad. We walked a lot here. Lots of shops and restaurants. Ate at a local restaurant "Java" and something or other. It was excellent. The Hard Rock is very expensive.
