1. Get onboard as early as you can. Immediately go to the Entertainment Reservations line and get in it. There are paper schedules along the line so get them and plan your first and second choices for each timeslot for your whole cruise. Then immediately go to the Dining Reservations line. Couples should split up so they can go immediately to both lines with the person going to the usually shorter dining reservations line taking both passenger's key cards and a copy of the entertainment schedule. Once that person has gotten dining reservations, he/she can join the person in the Entertainment Reservations line.

Make reservations for everything as soon as possible so you don't get left out.

Book shows the second you are on the ship! They were sold out 2 hours after embarkation started

book early

Take the time to walk around the entire ship.

Order slowly from indulge. Try the Pizza at the buffet, it's the first wood fire pizza at sea. Go politely ask to do a walk through of the spa and check out the "Experimental Rooms." If you usually don't buy a day pass, you might change your mind!

Book all shows as early as you can the space inside the shows are very limited.

Lots to do.

Be ready to love your room and spend extra money. Most of the dining options are extra and many of the activities cost extra.

Triangles in the hallways point towards the front of the ship.

If you are not able to pre reserve your shows and dining make this a priority when get onboard as they sell out very quickly

This ship isn’t your typical NCL ship. It’s meant for a somewhat low key, relaxing, vacation with options to keep you busy if that’s your wish. It’s not really child friendly, but there’s still some things that they can do. Venues are smaller and spread throughout the ship. I think it helps with crowds. The only times places are crowded is the restaurants at peak meal time. If you’re not flexible and are looking for typical NCL cruise, this may not be for you. Do your research before booking.

Be prepared to not be able to get into the pools.

If you haven’t reserved for a specialty dining, show in advance, or spa reservations make sure you go to guest services right upon embarking to get availability. Space is very limited. Also, take your phone/camera with you to breakfast. As you look out at the sunrise, you may just see sharks or dolphins beside your ship!
bbress
Explore all of the outdoor seating options (not just poolside) and visit Observation room for quiet time.

Sign up for dining and shows immediately upon boarding or you will miss out.

Don't book a room cirectly above any bars and entertainment areas!!
Pshudson
Do not pick the ship if you want a big ship like this, go Royal Caribbean the oasis, the allure in that category. This cannot compare at all. Very disappointing.

The best way to enjoy this ship is to book a suite in the Haven. That made all the difference.
