A Great Beach Stop

I liked the island because it's a beach stop. I think they need a little more beach so passengers can spread out more. I felt like people were sitting in my lap that were next to me. However, the place did what it was supposed to and it was a relaxing day on the beach. The bar service was fantastic. The music coming back to the ship being spun by DJ Jean was great. I wish she was there earlier so there could have been an afternoon t-dance that would have gotten more attention. If you wanted vodka you did have to go over to Jerk's bar to get it, which was a drawback. However, that's strictly drinking talking. NCL loved my bar bill! Ha ha!

The Hippo slide looked fun but I couldn't get anyone to go on it with me so I didn't bother with doing it. I bet their rennovations will include more activities to do on-shore. I wanted to go exploring up by the lighthouse but they had it closed off. You also can't go on the rock wall on the left side of the beach any more (which is when looking at it from the ship). It's a great stop. Does the infrastructure need a little sprucing up? Yes but I'm not slamming the island at all. It's a great place to hang out and have fun with your fellow cruisers!
