Overall a good cruise, although we were at about 2400 of a max load of 5000 passengers. Have to wonder what this ship would have been like at max? I am guessing very crowded as at times it was somewhat busy at the pool and buffet areas.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Very reasonable but too many Norwegian staff standing around / seemingly confused at times.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Great buffet and dining experiences - Cagneys and Ocean Blue were great. Why was there no green tea available on this ship? Asked several waiters and 1 finally found a single serving, probably from their personal stash.
Onboard Activities
2 out of 5
No shuffleboard, ping pong, rope obstacle course, rock wall or mini golf, which were available on other ships from NCL. Appears to be a trend of getting the "extra charge" activities, such as the Laser Tag and Race Track areas, which take up way too much room and have taken over.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Kinky Boots - So-So Choir of Man - EXCELLENT !!!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
As always of NCL - staff are great !!
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
New ship, so still very clean and shiny.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Layout of room somewhat cramped. Stuffed a King Size bed into a space that allowed about 12 inches of clearance to walk thru the room between it and the wall. Noisy neighbors were readily heard at all hours thru the apparently paper thin ceiling and walls.
Suggestion - when you have early walk off passengers, don't allow them to queue up in front of a doorway where they are able to see Haven passengers or NCL employees getting off before them. Close off the view.
