DO NOT go in this cruise during school holidays. Because of the Orlando stop- so many large families and kids. Long lines for food, drinks, getting off the ship.

Good for first timers, or people who want to sail from NYC. Not so good for relaxation peace and quiet

Be patient. They are cutting costs wherever possible. Not fully stocking the boat. Smaller portions, going slower to save fuel which gives you less time at ports which leads to change of ports and skipping ports. St Lucia was cancelled since they didn't have a spot at the pier and they didn't want to tender and was replaced with St Maarten which then pushed St Kitts back a day and different hrs in the port. I've been to St Maarten and had an excursion for St Lucia, had something planned for St Kitts but the earlier port time wouldn't work and I cancelled both excursions. Disappointing but not horrible since it is a cruise and you come to expect things of this nature. If you cruised before covid you may not like the direction things are going. If new to cruising you don't know what is missing and there's plenty to do and enjoy

Don't. Go to a resort or spend the extra money for Viking or another luxury line.

The entertainment venues are nowhere near large enough to accommodate a full load of passengers. Be prepared to line up for Sid Norman’s and Headliners. They are designed as small intimate venues and they are very nice if you can get in but be prepared for lineups and get there early.

Advice I would give is enjoy your vacation and make the best of it. Nothing is 100%, but what I would say is a vacation is better than staying at home.

Book main shows as soon as possible on website. I booked 120 days out and we saw both main shows: Burn the Floor and Million Dollar Quartet.

The great stirrup cay doesn't have a dock. If you have your heart set on a included beach day then look for a cruise line with a dock because I am not hearing that them canceling island day is becoming a common thing.

Don’t go on the getaway or it’s sistership go for one of the newer NCL ships.

Don’t go if you don’t like over crowding. Or go in early January and before Spring or holiday weekend

Go on Royal Caribbean or Celebrity instead. NCL is nickel and dimeing almost everything. $20 a day for gratuities! per person for gratuties!

If you have the means, I recommend upgrading to the premium plus drink package! Bottles of wine, champagne and premium tier spirits. Plus all the extras.
