Norwegian Star: 16-Night Cruise from San Diego - February 13, 2027

You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Boat rides, beach time, shopping, and fresh seafood are all within reach.

The Norwegian Star will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Acapulco, Mexico. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. Watching the La Quebrada cliff divers is a must, and it still impresses no matter how many times you have seen photos.

Your ship arrives in Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala at 7:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Stroll through Puerto Quetzal's markets to discover colorful produce, handmade crafts, and traditional Guatemalan goods.

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Puntarenas, Costa Rica, from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Cruise ships dock at Puntarenas port, conveniently close to the city center.

The Norwegian Star will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Panama City, Panama. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. The historic district of Casco Viejo is filled with colonial-era buildings, quaint plazas, and charming streets.

Arriving in Cartagena, Colombia at 11:00 AM with only 7 hours hours before your 6:00 PM departure is a tight window. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the safest play here - you'll get priority disembarkation, and the ship will wait for its own excursions to return. Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. Walking the old city is the essential Cartagena experience.

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Georgetown, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Seven Mile Beach is famous for its soft white sand and calm turquoise water.

Your cruise ends in Miami, Florida, where the Norwegian Star is scheduled to dock at 7:00 AM. With over 2,000 passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a one to two hour window - once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist lets you walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Food lovers can explore Latin American cuisine, while sun seekers enjoy miles of sandy shoreline and turquoise waters.
