This was a great 11-day Cruise. The Ship was great, the Staff was great and the Cruise Director Vincent was outstanding!!!! The food was pretty good. I have to say the Buffet was just ok -- seems as though the same food was there every single day of the cruise with some variety - which wasn't too impressive but still no complaints - I don't complain too much about cruise ship food at all - it was just ok. Did eat at Teppenyaki and as always that was outstanding!

We did not get to go to Columbia due to mechanical issues with the Jade on the previous cruise so we stayed in Miami for the 1st day - which was totally fine with me! Everything was great!

Panama...... i have to say the best thing about this place is the locks itself - amazing to watch and to see but the City itself - no. It is really sad what a run down place it is and very dirty -- I have been on quite a few cruises and have seen quite a few places but this one I have to say was 1 of the worst I have seen and the excursion "Train by 2 Oceans" - do not do! It was a horrible and very boring excursion.... the train ride was only 55 mins and didn't see anything but trees go by and we were on a bus alllll day and really didn't see much at all - do not recommend at all! Costa Rica was nice - did the River excursion and it was ok - nothing impressive just saw alot of birds - which doesn't impress me too much - but our tour guide Alonso was great.

I liked the layout of the room. Was room enough for the 2 of us - no real complaints at all - it was pretty good. The Toilet at times would not flush correctly -- but didn't happen alot.

Port Reviews

Harvest Caye

Beautiful Belize! This was our 1st to Harvest Caye -- beautiful private island of NCL -- beautiful pools or you could swim in the ocean.

Not a whole lot to do in my opinion -- there is zip lining.

We did a private cabana which was super nice --- out of the hot hot sun and had a personal waiter - drinks were expensive there of course but it was a nice relaxing pool day and the Cabanas were very nice!
