Suggestions for NCL Cruise for Hawaii or Caribbean Coral Reefs/Snorkeling?

[nordicacres]

I am researching Hawaiian or Caribbean cruises for 2025/2026. My husband absolutely loves coral reefs and snorkeling. Which would be the best itinerary for him? Because honestly, this would be the only way to get him on a cruise ship. The trip would also include my tween/teens, and I’m thinking 7-9 days between February and April. We aren’t interested in Mexico or Jamaica routes. What are great ports/islands for reefs/snorkeling? Thank you for your input and experiences!

Bonaire has great snorkeling but I am not sure how many cruises go there.

While not cheap, but does include many things, do a ten or eleven day on Paul Gauguin. Hands down exceptional snorkeling.

Roatan, Honduras would work.

 

Many people seem to like the Bahamas for that, but I guess I’m unlucky. When I went there I saw like 3 small fish. I would have had more fun visiting a pet store.

Have you considered taking a cruise out of San Juan, Puerto Rico?
