Book the extras online beforehand if you're able. Booking packages online is much more affordable than waiting until you board. Make reservations to see the Starwater show online beforehand as well. It can be difficult to get in to that show if you wait.

There was no wow bands which was disappointing and no soda machines, so if you have a soda package you have to go to the bar for a drink.

Ship is large - be prepared for re-gaining access from port visits

Don't.

make sure to make your reservations for those complementary activities as soon as you get on the ship. Did not know it only have so many spots, rest of the time you will have to pay.

Don't. Seriously. I was told it was a training ship AFTER I spent a ton of money and booked and I was pissed. You have a lot of work to do.
muzaklady7
Don't.

Be able to entertain yourself. This ship is not one that gives you things to do during day and night options are all the same daily.

Make restaurant and excursion reservations when you book as the good ones fill up quickly. You can eat at the complimentary ones if you don't want the 14.50 charge.

This is a ship that holds 4900 guests. We sailed with 4000 and it was always crowded in the buffet area, no matter what time.

Be extra careful. Pack Lysol wipes and wear masks in elevators and when you know you will be in close contact with people .

Do not book with the cruise unless you are over 60

Do not take a jr suite with the large corner balcony. It seems like our problem was worse but others in the same type of room had issues.

Long boarding process and cold balcony staterooms.

They don’t tell you before you board, but the North Star reservation system involved paying for premium times. Complimentary times were usually when you’re at port (on an excursion).

be prepared for room temperature food

Don't get a cabin on deck 13 if you want a full view. Select a regular , not MY TIME dining option if you want to eat in the main dining room for dinner.

Make tours reservations early, do not leave them for last minute.

Try to do the activities on the ship and bypass main dining go straight to Buffett.
