Be patient. Expect lines (no matter what cruise line). Be kind to crew.

Arrive at least 1 1/2 hours early for self disembarkment.

Schedule all the available activities before you get there, bring a chair for embarkation, and ignore lack of instructions exiting and get off first.

The wheelchair access is poor for embarkation and disembarkation. Don’t waste your time.

Plan to use the stairs if you are able, you will spend alot of time standing waiting for elevators.

It’s what you make of it. Relax. It’s vacation. If being with 4000 people isn’t your thing. This isn’t the cruise for you. Although I really only felt this many people on the first day.

Stay more midship

The ship was full of people, so go early for anything you want to see. I'm a cigar smoker. The smoking area in Spice H2O is nice and no one gave me a hard time. The Humidor is nice though I watched several people come in and try to buy a cigar but go no help. You have to call a number for attendance and in the beginning, no one answered it. It finally got attention after a couple of days.

It's crowded if it's full. It would have been perfect during covid when the ships were only 50% full. But realistically NCL would go out of business at that rate. So just be ready for full ship.

Book your own excursions not thru ncl

Overall a great ship and shows. Make sure to research room location. I thought I did but was off. We didn't use pool but it was very crowded when we walked up there.

If it is in your budget, stay in the Haven.

The Navy Dockyard is not the greatest place to dock. Nothing to see but a fort!
