Don’t expect to get a chair at the pool unless you get there early.

Book specialty restaurants early - space seemed to fill up quickly.

Try to make your reservations in advance for dining and shows.

Would recommend not sailing on Holidays and maybe go with Celebrity.
RRyan
try to get to each dining venue and show well worth it

To many kids and families. No chairs on pool deck due to people shaving them. We have sailed with NCL before and were very happy. After this cruise it will be hard for us to go back!!!

Don't miss the Beatles show at the Cavern Club

Be ready to have fun and enjoy all these great amenities, activities, and restaurants. Don’t be discouraged if you can’t get a reservation for shows or restaurants, people cancel and if you show up you have a chance of getting in.

Once onboard if you wish to make any dining, entertainment or shore excursion reservations we found that the TV in your stateroom did not appear to be hardwired and we experienced errors while trying to make them. We found the wall screens by the elevators on deck 6 and going directly to Guest Services and the Shore Excursion desk to be the best options.

You MUST Pre-book your Dinner reservations in the specialty restaurants, shows and activities or you will not have the opportunity to enjoy them

Just don’t forget to bring your sneakers to do the laser tag and the speedway.

Do it.

I would recommend pre-booking your entertainment as I could see those filling up quickly. Also, if you’re a smoker, you might be disappointed as there is no outdoor smoking. There is a room on deck 8 with fans that don’t always work. We noticed the smell of smoke in the back of the ship on decks 8 and 9 due to this. It could get crowded and smoky in the smoking section with a full ship. There is smoking in the casino but it was closed during this event.

This ship felt more adult focus than children. With limited pool and 1 water slide I believe there are better options for kids

Book entertainment, specialty dining, and excursions as soon as you get on board as they fill up quickly.

Be prepared to be a kid at heart all over again, with all the wonderful activities like race car, and the galaxy pavilion and all the shows, your sure to return again and again

Only one & small adult pool next to kids pool & gets extremely overcrowded. Hong have H2O area for 18+

Kosher go elsewhere

If you’re making reservations onboard on day one go to the Social Club notGuest Services. Also don’t have high expectations just go with the flow

See the shows. The shows could have just as easily been on Broadway and are well worth your time.
