If you want to go to the smaller venues book early. If you like peace and calm when cruising think about the Thermal suites and Vibe beach club if in your budget. Get a porter quickly when disembarking

We will never cruise on one of these mega ships again. Just too many people. Lines for everything and the lines are huge. Just trying to get on an elevator is frustrating. We would take the stairs to go down and used the elevator to go up. You end up getting on the first elevator that has space available, regardless of the direction it's going, just so you can get on elevator. The elevators stop at every deck because there are people requesting elevators on every deck. You'll end up missing out on half of the activities just because you'll be so tired of dealing with the crowds. When you arrive at a port the ship will dock at a location that requires you to take a shuttle to get to the port. This means more lines for the shuttles. This means lining up early so you don't miss the ship departing, loosing out on port time, which you don't get a lot of. The dock in Ketchikan isn't in Ketchikan. It's a twenty minute drive outside Ketchikan.

Take your patience!

Be aware that this is a mega ship and can’t get into smaller ports

Pack a 6 port surge protector since the room has limited power outlets.

Relax and enjoy all the ship has to offer. The staff is wonderful.

Prepare to spend a lot on board even if you have a drink package there are all types of charges and fees for things.

Make sure you are okay with the itinerary's limited port times. It was always less time available than expected. Think of it more as a sampler on a nice boat. You won't get to do as much as you hoped for, but will get to taste it all.

Be prepared for the ultra small hot, and the water wasn't real warm, and no indoor pool, which would have been nice, when it real windy and cold.

prebook shows and restaurants. Ocean Blue and Cagney's were great

The weather will affect your onboard experience. The track and lasor tag will close if it rains

Don't do priority embarkation. It was a total waste, and I tried to get my money back, and I would not use Marriott BonVoy to book every again.

Take time to explore entire ship. Plenty of bars away from crowds with great views and comfortable.

Do not book the trip or excursions for the third party, buy from Norwegian directly
