Get a suite. It's worth it.

It’s expensive

Adjust your attitude to not think you are on "vacation". Hard to relax with event schedules.

Make reservations for dinner every night the first day you board. That way you won't have to worry about waiting for a table to come open or worry that if you want to make a reservation later on, the time will be full.

Very old ship and the ship stabilizers were terrible. Food was ok but certainly nothing to write home about.

Beware of service change without reimbursement. NCL’s goodwill gesture of a $100 non-refundable per cabin credit in no way equated to the elimination of sailing Kauai’s Na Pali Coast. The week long Hawaiian cruise was marketed and sold to include sailing that Na Pali coast. NCL did not honor that contract for asserted reasons of a lifeboat maintenance matter. Maintenance evidently not critical enough to address until 9 days after passenger notification. Unfortunate for us passengers, the maintenance was scheduled at our expense without an acceptable reimbursement for change of service. In summary, NCL sold the cruise as advertised, then altered the cruise for a NCL matter and placated passengers with a $100 non-refundable credit. A credit that could only be used for unplanned extra onboard purchases; a credit that does not cost NCL a full $100. What a great deal for NCL; reduce service, save 3 ½ hours of fuel, and increase onboard purchases. Moreover, the mandatory 20% gratuities for the additional onboard purchases could not be applied against the credit. Irritating. The fine print likely states NCL has the authority to change any aspect of the cruise at their discretion. Must have been an inconvenience to NCL to schedule maintenance while the ship is docked in Honolulu for 12 hours. Bottom line - - Passengers were deprived of a portion of the Hawaiian cruise as NCL profited from the altered cruise.

Don't...cost too much for no more than you get. Can't watch normal TV, have to make reservations for open dining, was not offered more food when eating in restaurants/dining rooms.

Bring portable battery charger for electronics. Plan your own excursions to save money and do what you would like. Do research and plan ahead!

Do not sail with expectations that it would meet the the standards of newer NCL ships

Get a PORT side cabin to see the Na'Pali coast from your room the last day
hansra
Lower your drink prices or allow people to bring there own items. Ridiculous to have to pay $23.00 for a drink!!!!

Make the most of it as one don’t realise time goes too quickly.

Stay on deck 11 as the many options are there including the pool. Consider the port side as it had a great view as you pass the coast in Kauai.
darausch
Schedule activities including specialty dining beforehand. We did and were able to do what we wanted. Others scheduling later missed some of the activities and dining.

This is an itinerary cruise - the ship itself is not important. What is is the transportation and overnight accommodations that the ship provides that allow you to see as much of the major islands of Hawaii in just a week.
