lots going on but the multiple smoking areas on the ship reduced my enjoyment on numerous occasions. Very disappointing.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Beautiful ship! Very clean, staff kept everything shiny and were quick to pick up plates and empty drink glasses. Honestly would happily give five stars here if not for smoking issue. Casino is a smoking area and open to other decks. As soon S boarded and began exploring smoke smell hit me and casino was closed! Was up on deck watching outdoor movie one night and people all around us were smoking. Waterfront deck was beautiful but again smoking on one side of ship. I was okay with that but why the casino when it’s open to other decks and why by pool? That enclosed smoking room on pool deck is not enclosed and smoke still smelled up that area. As a non smoker I won’t sail this ship again because of this and will only consider NCL’s other ships if they cater less to smokers.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Nicely laid out. Quiet interior hall location close to elevators and stairs. Good size shower and tons of bathroom storage. First time with inside cabin and was worried I would hate it but was pleasantly surprised 👍🏻

Ship tip

See the shows, they are really well done! If want to use fridge in your cabin ask steward to empty it for you on first day as nothing in there is included. That way you can use it for anything you want, like juice for the am, wine, fruit etc
