Review summary
This was our third Norwegian cruise and the staff was super friendly and professional, the shows and entertainment was fantastic(except the comics, who were really bad), and the dining was great. Unfortunately, we failed to look closely at the cabin layout prior to arriving. You have no separate bathroom. The teeny-tiny, hard to reach and often clogging sink is in the room at the end of one bed. Yes, you can sit on the bed and brush your teeth. The toilet and shower are on each side of the door and have a thin piece of frosted acrylic for a door. There is very little privacy..... very very little. If you are sharing a cabin, make arrangements to have the cabin to yourself when nature calls or otherwise it will be as if everyone is sharing the experience with you..... The cabin layout makes this cabin tighter and more cramped feeling that any cabin I have stayed in and I have sailed 4 different cruise lines. Outside of the cabin, the ship is very nice and the staff made it enjoyable.

Ship tip
Go online and carefully, very carefully view the cabin, understand exactly what you will be dealing with, especially if you are traveling with a friend. Otherwise, you might as well be using the toilet with your friend.
