Sail Date: Feb 2017

This was my 14th cruise-5th with NCL.

GOOD:

(1) The ports and shore excursions were great. My DH and I took the ship's excursions and didn't mind spend a bit more to ensure we returned to the ship on time. I learned a lot about the countries we visited and the Panama Canal. There was a commentator on board as we traveled through the canal.

Port Reviews

Los Angeles

Flew in a couple days before the cruise. Took the Hop On Hop Off bus or Uber everywhere. We enjoyed the Paramount Studio tour.

Cabo San Lucas

Cleanest beach I have ever seen.

Acapulco

Walked to the beach. Saw a music video being made.

Puerto Quetzal (Antigua)

Took a tour to Antigua. A beautiful city. Only downside was the forced visit to the Jade museum.

Cartagena (Colombia)

Lots of walking and it was hot, but we saw a lot. The mini zoo at the entrance to the port is free and a must see.
