Hidden Gems on NCL Shore Excursions - Norwegian (NCL) Review

I have sailed NCL twice before, and am a steadfast Holland America cruiser , mainly because HAL feels more calming to me. That said, I really, really enjoyed this cruise and the shore excursions . Because of a sudden death in the family I had to cancel and rebook for another date. I had purchased, as I always do, trip cancellation insurance . This was the first time I'd ever made a claim. I did find that trip delay does not cover if you have not started your trip, so having to change the dates, my rebooked date was more expensive, but I bit the bullet because it was the only free time I had left for the summer. I booked a guaranteed balcony cabin , and several days prior to sailing I was advised my cabin, 9017, was an "enclosed balcony. I called NCL to find out what that meant and was told that balcony had a cover, which some cabins on this ship do not.

Taste of Mexico - Norwegian (NCL) Review

This was a family cruise with our 2 daughters 10 and 13. We drove down a day early from Northern CA to LA and stayed at the Best Western Plus in San Pedro which included a parking space for our car for the duration of the cruise. Basic hotel but breakfast included. Small pool and fitness room. Very nice and friendly staff. Shuttle to the port provided (10 minute ride). Embarkation process: Embarkation was pretty quick. After dropping our bags at the curb, checked in at the cruise desk and within 20 minutes we were on board (around noon). We brought 6 bottles of wine so were directed to a table where they put sicker son the bottles and we were charged $15 a bottle corkage fee . We went straight to kids club to register on deck 13 which was a good thing because a long line started behind us. It was Spring break so there were 1000 kids on board. We received a warning ahead of time (email) that some age groups may max out. This didn’t happen to us but I believe the More 6-9 yea...
