Specialty dining on NCL is always worth it! Purchase a package prior to sailing, almost double the price when you try to buy onboard.

We were content with pre-purchasing a single specialty dining package because the included sit-down meals were so good, but multiple packages would’ve added another layer of fun and adventure on-ship.

We sailed at an off season time, but the ship was still very crowded. Disappointed all the tours were sold out on first day of cruise. And many tours were sold out prior to sailing. TOO MANY PEOPLE ON THE SHIP! No main foyer piano entertainment, just shops. They did have game events. Not enough seats here. The art auctions were squished too. Knees hitting the chairs in front of us.

Relax and enjoy. Book restaurants early if you like to eat early. We missed the steak house because we didn't want to eat at 9/9:30. Also, the site/app showed the shows/comedy was sold out. I asked at the desk, and they had reservations. :)

Be prepared to walk as just getting off the ship could be a long walk. Not enough elevators to accommodate the number of people on board. Long wait times. Observation lounge was great

Sign up early for excursions. If full, get on the wait list.

It worth to pay extra for the specialty restaurant. Excursions through Norwegian could be better. Too many passengers on one bus (our View of Halifax' bus has 71 passengers.

Book your shows before eating first day. Go directly to box office do not pass go do not collect 200.00

Use the Observation Lounge and Spice H2O.

They seem to keep a schedule. If it says 7:00 it is 7:00 not 7:01.

Book a relaxing stateroom with balcony,& make sure to visit deck 15,the most relaxing deck on the ship.

Find a great place to watch the cruise leave NY which means you have to walk around the ship some as soon as you embark. Too many people on the top deck.

Buffet is crowded like all ships, but there is plenty of seating all the way forward after you pass the lines. We found that area empty several meals.

DO NOT, not even once, EAT IN THE BUFFET !! Most of the food is NOT HOT and EXTREMELY STALE !!

enjoy the observation lounge when they have entertainment there. If the weather is nice eat outside at the specialty restaurants.

No real complaints with exception that wifi sucks! Beautiful ship, friendly staff. Book dining and excursions early. They fill up quickly.

Don’t sit in the front during footloose😂 unless you can handle the smoke.
