my top spots (in no particular order)

St Maarten -love Maho Beach

St Lucia - the Pitons!

Grand Turk - world's greatest Margaritaville

Barbados - lovely

 

the bottom slot

Freeport- not sure I'd even get off ship if I went again

bermuda, hands down, is my fave.

 

i also loved Cartagena, Copenhagen, St. Thomas and Tortola.

 

i detest Nassau and Freeport. Those are ship days for me!

 

Totally agree. Bermuda is definitely at the top!

Other ports that are up there is Seattle, Vancouver, and Victoria.

 

Bottom of the list is Nassau, Freeport, and St. Thomas.

This is a tough one for me... I worked on a cruise ship for awhile... not for NCL. I used to be a casino dealer and had a 6 month contract. I’ve been from the Baltic to South Africa and in between. Some of my favorite ports ( in no particular order)

 

Stockholm, Sweden

St Petersburg, Russia

Copenhagen, Denmark

Warnemunde, Germany

Mykonos and Santorini, Greece

Rome and Venice, Italy

Cape Town, South Africa

 

What an amazing experience it was!! Met so many great people and made lifetime memories.

Seems like Nassau is on almost everyone's list. Wonder why they still go there??

 

I'm not sure why either, there are some beautiful areas for snorkeling etc. there....water is almost always perfect.

I like Nassau,

 

Favourite ports (not all with NCL)

 

Tallinn

St. Petersburg

Bergen

Copenhagen

Casablanca (I found it interesting)

Stockholm

Stavanger

Malaga

 

I loved Rome but not Civitavecchia and the distance to Rome. Also quite liked Naples but not quite as 'interesting' as Casablanca.

 

My stay on the ship days in future Grand Stirrup Cay and I am not keen on Port Canaveral now that I've seen Disney and Universal.
