Review summary

The trip was great. Everything you would expect was taken care of. We had a few minor incidents during the cruise, however guest services fixed them. I highly recommend the Manhattan room for dinner nightly. Asked to be seated on the dance floor for a better view of the live band. The Mini-Suite was just the right size. Enough room to move around. Booked one week out and the rate from was much lower than booking directly with NCL. Taxes and Gratuity were expected, but still a large percentage of the overall trip.

lots of storage space, suitcases fit under the bed. good size bathrooms, 7 shower heads - yes

Ship tip

Brand new ship. It's the best they offer. Hot tubs should be altered to allow them to stay on longer than 2-3 minutes. Got tired of pushing the button.

Just ok for shopping. I took a cab to the Cape beach. $8 each way. Well worth it. Rented a kayak for $20/hr.

Nassau, Bahamas

The closest beach - Junk.... - was horrible - lots of broken glass in the sand. Buy an excursion or just plan to stay on the boat.

If you are looking for lowest price you can get it for half that price but no free offers, I booked 3 weeks prior. Plus gratuity.
