| jswills's Full Review: Norwegian Dream |
Embarktion:
Unbelievably simple. We were on the ship in 10 minutes. The person checking us in was very helpful. If you are a Latitudes member make sure they know and you will be on the ship quickly.
Cabin:
Large oceanview very clean with ample closet space. Small TV with few channels but there is no time for TV anyway. The room stewards are amazing, the room is always clean. You go to dinner and a show and return to turned down sheets and a chocolate on your pillow.
Ports of Call:
Cozumel, we loved this stop. Fury Catamarans is awesome. We snorkled and went to a private beach. Fury does a great job with entertainment. Free margaritas on the beach and the catamaran. DO THIS EXCURSION.
Roatan, beautiful country. We went to Tabayana Beach. The bus ride was nice saw a lot of the country and the tour guide provided interesting info. Beach was nice but crowded. Snorkeling was great but you have to swim out 50 yards off shore. Rent the snorkle equipment from NCL not at the beach, it is less expensive and much better quality.
Belize City, fun city. We rented a moped for $40 for the whole day for both of us outside the port gates. This was a blast, we drove the moped 30 miles outside of town to the ruins (that excursion on the ship was $89 pp) the drive was beautiful. We also stopped and met some locals and relaxed on the beach. Great way to see Belize.
Cancun, one of the few disappointments. We had to pull out due to poor weather.
Dining:
Freestyle rocks. No waiting around 8:30. The food is five star quality. Great service and a wide array of selection. I couldn't wait for the food part of the cruise and it exceeded every expectation. The daily bbq's by the pool are a great touch, much enjoyed.
Entertainment:
Very good. The shows are not going to blow you away by any means but we were entertained. Don't miss the comedians they are great. The best is the games; Newlywed and Liars Club. Make sure not to miss either, major highlight.
Staff:
Cruise Director, Simon, did an amazing job. The crew is fantastic and at your every beck and call. A good cruise experience is determined by the staff and this cruise staff was top notch.
All around great cruise, we will forever use NCL. Don't rely on some of the negative reviews. Some peoples experience is dampered by minor details. Please consider the Dream as your next vacation. It is a "Dream".
