Really enjoyed the cruise. A lot of stuff to see in every port, so one must choose a specific item to see. Doing some research before going on this cruise is a must. Ship was big but the crowd didn’t seem that big. Food was great and a wide selection of options were available.

Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The Taste was our favorite dining room as the Manhattan had a dance performance during our reservation. Music was so load that we couldn’t hold a conversation. The deck 15 buffet would get busy at times but was able to always find a seat with my party of 6. The deserts (cake, cheese cake, brownies, etc) were not the best, but the oatmeal cookies were spot on.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Rock-climbing wall was great. All three times I was there, the staff were friendly and explained everything very well. Pool area was busy but water was warm and clean. Water slides were good but can get busy during peak times. Bowling was ok. Had to wait 20 minutes for a lane as no reservations are accepted.

Ship tip
If you need to use an elevator to get between floors that are close together, expect to do a lot of waiting. Also on disembarking the ship, leave early if you are carrying your own luggage. We planned to disembark at 7:45 am but we were waiting on an elevator when the 8 am call was made for all remaining guest who had used the color coded tags for NCL to remove their luggage was made. Waited 25 minutes on an elevator that was going up as all the ones going down were always completely full.
