Don't trust the itineraries. They will change them after you book, usually to your detriment. Still a good cruise, but the value for your money is not as good as you think.

Eat at any of the 4 specialty restaurants along the waterfront (deck 8).

Try to get a room that is not right below the pool deck, as it can be loud at night. If you are traveling without children, get the Vibe Beach Club passes. You will not regret it!

The ship is large and if you do not like being around a lot of people, thrn you should be looking at a smaller ship

Be careful of the hidden charges.

Watch your wallet and carefully scrutinize your folio.

Get travel insurance. It paid a shocking high doctor visit and medication for covid

Some of the extras (Go-carts, Virtual Reality) are going to cost you extra out of pocket.

Insider Tip: Maximize Your Onboard Credits with NCL's Specialty Dining Packages One key difference for specialty dining on Norwegian Cruise Line versus other major lines is that restaurants operate on an a la carte basis rather than a fixed per-person charge. This can lead to shockingly high bills if you're not prepared. During my dinner at the excellent Ocean Blue, a meal covered by my "Free at Sea" promotion, the final tally still came to a hefty $90. However, NCL offers savvy cruisers a way to stretch their onboard credits while capping those specialty dining costs. The line sells dining packages that provide a set number of meals for a single upfront price - $99 for two dinners, $139 for three, and so on. With these packages, your per-person costs are capped at $50 or less. So for those looking to splurge on specialty venues using onboard credit, purchasing a dining package is the smartest strategy. Load up enough credit onto your account to cover the package cost, and you're free to indulge guilt-free, knowing your high-end meals are already accounted for. With diligent planning, you may even make it through your entire cruise without ever needing to set foot in the main dining rooms. This insider tip ensures you can experience Norwegian's premium culinary offerings without the risk of budget-shattering sticker shock after the fact. A little foresight goes a long way in maximizing the value of your onboard credit.

We booked a cabana on GSC and had priority getting on a tender…a lot of folks sat for a long time to get off.
