First time with NCL and on an American culture cruise ship.
Arrived at Copenhagen an hour after our allocated boarding time - it seems almost all the boat had same boarding time ! Took about an hour between arrival to getting on board.
We missed lunch in the restaurant, and ended up at the Market cafe - it was ok, but made me glad I had paid in advance for the Ultimate Dining package. The boat was full, with a mix of Americans, Australians, and Europeans. Some areas of the boat are much busier than others but if you look hard there are quiet spots.
Cabin handy for main staircase and getting to restaurants - is under the end of the market cafe, so if you are a light sleeper, you will hear the noises of furniture moving late at night as it is cleaned
