Norwegian Luna - Eastern Caribbean from Miami
Luna's summer-and-fall Eastern Caribbean loop from Miami mixes the Dominican Republic's Puerto Plata with the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, then finishes with a beach day at NCL's private island Great Stirrup Cay. Four ports in seven nights leaves just two sea days for the Slidecoaster and Indulge Food Hall.

Tortola
British Virgin IslandsPortRoad Town is a small administrative capital that empties into Tortola Pier Park, a purpose-built shopping village at the dock. The town itself is thin, and it clogs when two ships are in. This is a call you leave: most people cross the ridge to Cane Garden Bay, or take the ferry to Virgin Gorda for The Baths, which is the best thing in the British Virgins.
- The Baths on Virgin Gorda, by ferry
- Cane Garden Bay
- Smuggler's Cove at the west end
- Sage Mountain National Park
- Getting ashore
- Docked at Road Town beside Tortola Pier Park; Cane Garden Bay is about 20 minutes over Ridge Road by taxi, and the Virgin Gorda ferry runs 30-45 minutes.

Great Stirrup Cay
BahamasPortNorwegian's Berry Islands beach is the oldest of the private-island calls - the line has used it since 1977. It was a tender operation for decades, which made short calls miserable, until a two-ship pier opened at the end of 2025 and ships began tying up. Bertram's Cove is the main swimming beach. The buffet lunch is included; cabanas, the Silver Cove villas, watersports rentals and the spa are not.
- Bertram's Cove, the main beach
- The included beach barbecue buffet
- Snorkel gear, kayaks and floats for rent (extra cost)
- Private cabanas and the Silver Cove lagoon villas (extra cost)
- Getting ashore
- Ships dock at the pier that opened in December 2025 - older trip reports describing a tender ride no longer apply.
- Best months
- Nov-Apr for calm seas and reliable calls; summer is hotter with afternoon storms

About the Ship
What Travelers Say About Norwegian Luna
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Norwegian Luna sailing. Distilled from 43 traveler threads, Cruise Critic member reviews and travel blogs.
Norwegian Luna is NCL's newest ship - a Prima Plus-class twin to Norwegian Aqua that debuted in April 2026 - and the early word centers on two things: it is gorgeous, and it is still shaking down. The design-forward spaces, the funnel-wrapping Aqua Slidecoaster and the Indulge Food Hall give it real novelty, while early reviews split between travelers dazzled by the newest hardware at sea and those who feel the experience doesn't yet justify the price.
What People Love
- The Aqua Slidecoaster - a magnetic-launch hybrid rollercoaster/waterslide wrapping the funnel - is the most talked-about feature and a genuine first at sea
- Indulge Food Hall wins near-universal praise: nine global stations with tablet ordering that beats any buffet line
- Interior design is strikingly modern and fresh - travelers repeatedly call the Penrose Atrium and public spaces the best-looking in the NCL fleet
Common Complaints
- Specialty dining disappoints many early guests - reviewers describe food that lacks flavor and creativity for the extra $40-60 per person
- Service is uneven outside The Haven - as a ship in service only since April 2026, sections of the crew are clearly still finding their rhythm
- The Prima-class layout chops public areas into smaller rooms, and some travelers find flow between venues confusing
