When we got off the ship I checked uber fares. $30 to Miami airport. Free if you rent a car and take the rental car shuttle van. Why would anyone pay for ncl transfers? We stayed at Days Inn before the cruise, since they provided free transfers to the port of miami. The transfer service was so late we gave up after an hour of waiting and took uber. $13. Very easy. Got on the sjip right away with almost no wait.
I thought the cruise was fine. Bad weather the first few days made the decks clear. We had no lines for anything. But we are not early risers. Easy to find seating at the buffet each morning. Gym on the Escape is awesome. Shows were entertaining. Casino was super smoky so we did not spend too much time there. Coughing fits if you spend too much time at the horrible paytable machines. We had been to the ports many times so the ship was the main focus of our trip. We did not care that bad weather made us skip Jamaica, or dock far from town at Grand Cayman. TV movies were oldies but goodies. Did not repeat as often as in the past. All on all a good cruise.
