New Year's Eve! Itinerary was New Orleans (Louisiana); Cozumel (Mexico); Roatán, Bay Islands (Honduras); Harvest Caye (Belize); Costa Maya (Mexico). Spent a couple of days exploring New Orleans before the cruise and highly recommend checking out the city. Embarkation was a little rough only because the port only has two small lanes and thousands of people trying to drive on it and drop off at the same time so add at least a half hour to your estimates. The actual ncl embarkation was as smooth as I can ever remember it being, checked in with no wait and then less than 20 minutes until they started boarding the ship. With a guest capacity of almost 4000 this is a big ship. That being said there was tons of stuff to do that I was excited about, the first being going to Margaretville for an Incommunicado to start off the cruise right and we also signed the teen up since it was right next door. We then headed down to the main dining room for embarkation lunch. They set the mood at the main dining room for our whole cruise right there. We were sat immediately and had our food within ten minutes of ordering, and it was delicious. After we left the teen in the arcade and went to check out the ship and she is beautiful. H20 at the very back, a ropes course across the entire width of the ship, a nice climbing wall, and a kid’s play area.We do like to play trivia and the fun games they have at the atrium but we did wish they had more scheduled especially on the sea days but it was a bit underwhelming on that front. The Million Dollar Quartet was just amazing we had an awesome time watching the show. Plenty of bars to keep people happy, one being right next to the pool of course. The ship is beautiful and had a lot of fun things to do but it wasn’t one of our favorites. Mostly it had to do with the layout of the ship than anything actually wrong. We prefer the openness of the Bliss to the sort of blocked off feeling this ship gave. Everything was just kind of tight together when there were crowds which we expected with such a popular sailing but the public areas could be a bit larger is all. Balcony room was perfect and we had no issues at all. Overall an amazing vacation and would 100% recommend to anyone who wants to sail out of New Orleans.
