This ship was run a lot better than the breakaway and staff was much more friendlier. Wait time at the restaurants was next to none which is a super plus. What was lacking and upsetting was the entertainment onboard and the fact that our stateroom balcony door was broken (the wall was warping thus causing the door to not seal properly). For this reason we should have never been assigned to the room and have been upgraded. You pay all this money for a balcony only to not be able to use is correctly and not sleep with the loud whistling of the wind. 3am and ncl staff was in our room trying to correct the issue that they were already aware of.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
Embarkation was a bit slow. Long wait in the line as they don't offer Gold Lattitudes priority anymore, which is a bit disappointing.
Ship experiences

Staff was excellent and very friendly. Loved sharing conversations with them. They all adored our daughter.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Waiter was extremely friendly and took the time to chat with us.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
I felt as though the shows on board lacked. There was nothing outstanding or a must see which was disappointing. No quest game show or farewell show. Nothing in the theatre on any night that would have grabbed our families attention as on other ships. The entertainment on this ship is next to none.
Children's Programs
5 out of 5
Guppies nursery was great staff was awesome. They labeled everything that belonged to our child and even wrote up a detailed list of what was done while she was in their care.

Ship Quality

cleanliness was not a problem. its the layout of the ship, designed just like the breakaway. 678 ocean place is a terrible design flaw. smoke from the casino travels everywhere and too much congestion.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
balcony door was broken before we even began our cruise, horrible whistling noise as the ship was in motion. the door needed to be held shit with a wooden man made hook. ncl only care about making money rather than moving the guest to enjoy their cruise that they spent a decent chunk of change on.
terrible. these ships are too big with to many passengers. The maze that was created to disembark on the ship is absolutely ridiculous. The wait time was horrendous.
The only saving grace was when we finally made our way through the maze and off the ship our luggage had on yellow tags (gold and platinum members only) so it was super easy to find our luggage and get out of there as there were not many suitcases with these tags.
