Got off the NCL Joy yesterday in Miami after a 7 day Mexico/Belize/Honduras cruise. Similar experiences to others:

- Booked last minute and got a really cheap solo cruise fare for a balcony and upgraded for $40 to a club balcony;
- Ship sailed with about 1,600 passengers (about 30-35% capacity);
- Pre-departure antigen test at the pier covered by NCL and all crew also tested weekly;
- Embarkation / debarkation the most efficient I've ever had;
- Crew all masked;
- In ports all locals masked even outdoors, far more than we see in Canada/US;
- Crew quite happy, few small glitches (e.g. getting internet plan working), but overall very smooth cruise;
- PCR test provided for free on board on the last day of sailing for my flight back to Canada.

Overall a great time and went off very well.
