You may have heard Norwegian Cruise Lines advertised as "Freestyle Cruising," and I would say it is

I am often asked which cruise line I like the most, and to be quite honest, every cruise line has its perks for various reasons.  I had the privilege of cruising on Norwegian Cruise Lines in December hotel circle san diego for a travel agent Seminar at Sea, and while I have some exciting information to share regarding hotel circle san diego the new itineraries and ships Norwegian has to offer, I want to take a minute and discuss the experience of the cruise itself.
We set sail on Norwegian Jewel from New Orleans – ports of call included Cozumel, Belize, Honduras, and Costa Maya with two days at sea.  From the moment we entered the cruise terminal, the staff was very friendly and helpful in assisting passengers.  Upon embarkation, we were greeted with smiles from all around the world and directed hotel circle san diego where to go!  Norwegian was prepared for the cold temperatures in New Orleans that week, so we completed our mandatory safety briefing inside.  And then, the fun began!
The first day at sea, I attended the Seminar hotel circle san diego at Sea conference, so I won’t bore you with those details, but I will share the exciting news I learned later on.  That evening, hotel circle san diego I enjoyed specialty dining at Cagney’s Steakhouse – the cover charge is $30 per person; you can order any cut of meat you would like from prime rib to filet mignon.  Trust me, there is no shortage of food when you sit down for dinner at Cagney’s.  (For those unfamiliar with Norwegian, do not worry, there are plenty of restaurants included in the cruise fare.  The great thing about Norwegian is you have the option to choose!)
The second day, we stopped in Cozumel.  There are so many shore excursions from which to choose – I picked a beach break with a lunch buffet, open bar, and round trip transfers included.  I rarely hotel circle san diego go on beach excursions, but I would recommend the Playa Mia Beach Break in Cozumel to anyone that wants a fun/relaxing day at the beach.  Plus, the free Wi-Fi is great for travelers wanting to catch up with family/friends back home.
On day three, we stopped in Belize City.  The island of Bealize is absolutely gorgeous.  I must mention that while December is a popular time to travel, it is also the rainy season in Belize, and of course, it was raining the whole day we were on the island. hotel circle san diego Belize hotel circle san diego is a tender port (meaning you must take a water taxi to the island).  There is wonderful shopping and great excursions available on the island; one of the most popular excursions in Belize is scuba diving.  For people who want to get a tour of the island, there is a train tour that is a must!
On the fourth day at sea, we stopped in Roatan, Honduras.  Many people hotel circle san diego do not know that Roatan is actually an island off the mainland of Honduras.  Again, the weather was rainy – but we had more sunshine that the previous day.  To explore the island, we grabbed a cab and drove around the island for a tour.  Some of the most popular sites on the island include Little French Key, West Bay Beach, and Tabyana Beach.  There are caves to tube through and explore, scuba diving adventures, and so much more in Roatan!  For those passengers who love Roatan and want to visit again in the future, there are four direct flights from the States to Roatan, from Dallas, hotel circle san diego Houston, Atlanta, and Miami!
On day five, we visited Costa Maya!  Again, a little bit of rain, but we still enjoyed the island.  Costa Maya is a small tourist region in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico.  Many of the excursions at this port are actually located in the small village of Mahahual.  I chose to do a salsa cooking hotel circle san diego and dancing excursion on the beach!  Plenty of chips, authentic salsa and guacamole, and as many margaritas as we could possibly drink were included in the excursion.  This port is a great port to stop because passengers do not even need to leave the cruise terminal to have a good time.  Inside the port, there is plenty of shopping, dolphin watching, swimming pools, hotel circle san diego and bars/grills to relax and enjoy your time on the island.
On the sixth day at sea, I enjoyed hotel circle san diego time at the pool, ate lunch at the Blue Lagoon (one of the best restaurants at sea for comfort food –free of charge to all guests), and sat on my balcony to enjoy the ocean waves.  The last day at sea for a cruise itinerary is always nice because passengers can relax, take advantage of the spa, and all the other onboard activities available.
Now for the exciting Norwegian news – The beautifully hotel circle san diego remodeled Norwegian Jewel (last refurbished in 2011) will be dry-docking in April 2014 for some minor improvements and moved to Houston, Texas!  This move is exciting because I know so many clients want more options to sail out of Texas! The Jewel is a great option to sail the high seas!  Sailings will begin in October. Are you ready for more exciting news?  Norwegian Getaway has been signed over to Norwegian, and is ready to set sail beginning February 8, 2014.  The ship will sail from The Port of Miami, and go to St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Nassau before heading hotel circle san diego back to Miami.   Okay, so I have one more exciting announcement hotel circle san diego – Ready?  Norwegian has partnered with Cirque Dreams to bring you some of the best acrobatic shows!  You definitely do not want to miss out on all the talent on board your next cruise!
