I would honestly suggest another provider. Although we really enjoyed the food and our cabin we could not overlook the staff responsible for embarking and disembarking.

Book specialty restaurants ahead of time. Expect the occasional wait for bar drinks, and O’sheehans.

Always keep an eye on when it is time to schedule your specialty restaurants, you don’t want to be eating at 10 pm every night !

If you are a smoker, may want to think about a different ship. Deck 16 had an outdoor smoking area but was closed for private functions several times. The other options are the casino and a small enclosure by the pool that stunk terribly due to so many people in an area maybe 20×15.

Treat the staff with dignity and respect! They work hard to please you, even when you criticize them, with a smile on their face. Also, you want good drinks?! Tip your bartenders. Get to know them and they will get to know you.

Pool deck is always crowded on this ship, has one main pool and everyone is there.

Make reservations for EVERYTHING. It's one of NCL's policies on their bigger ships that doesn't apply to the smaller ones. "Freestyle" isn't really applicable when reservations are required for all shows, and with the exception of the pool deck buffet and O'Sheehans, you need reservations to guarantee yourself a seat. We encountered many fellow guests who weren't aware of this policy, and missed out on some of the entertainment, as did we.

Do not select mini-suite 9238 or anything in the nearby area on port side.

Tip, Tip, Tip! You want a great experience? Then tip the staff. That gratuity that’s included is nothing to the staff. Take care of them and they will take care of you.

Large ship with many people. Practice kindness and patience and you will have a great time.

Make sure to have plenty of money on your ship card. NCL has lots of “fees”. And if you smoke, don’t expect to sit in the very small smoking area and relax. All you will get is a bunch of rude and loud drunk people. Passing out, falling, puking. The pool area is very small and the bar staff does not walk around for your drinks so lines are super long. Get 2 or 3 at a time!
