Review summary
The ship is brand new, so all the fixtures work. Cabins on lower decks are fairly well sound-proofed (we were on deck 5) so you can sleep through engine noise. Main dining room is split into two halves, so service is faster because each venue is smaller (Savor and Taste). St. Maarten and St. Thomas were hot and humid, while Nassau was cool, breezy and dry--perfect weather. Excursions were well organized. Ship docks each time--no tendering. Food was absolutely fantastic--best of any NCL cruise (this was my ninth). Movies shown in Atrium. Rock climbing wall is great. Lots of activities for kids.

Ship tip
On embarkation day, go to Savor or Taste and have pleasant sit-down lunch. We had fried calamari and shrimp burgers--yummy. Book a cabin on deck 5 or 6 to avoid late night noise.
