The location was great. Planning on the ship, not so good.

‘Too many people’?!! It’s a giant cruise ship fool.

Definately lots of people. Website says passenger capacity is over 4000 and I'm guessing they usually sail mostly full. I think show reservations on any of NCL's larger ships are pretty much a given. Don't know about other lines. Sure enough, no forward looking weather deck, just like the deck plan says. When we sailed the Epic we would often get coffee or ice cream and watch from the Garden Cafe.

If you would’ve done a little bit of research before your cruise, you would’ve found out that on a ship that big (with that many people), it’s better to book shows and specialty restaurants before the cruise.
