We just returned from our first NCL cruise experience and our family of five had a enjoyable week. My 14 year old daughter made great friends in the teen club and spent days with the family and nights with her new bff's from around the world. The rest of our family enjoyed a variety of entertainment options including Blue Man Group, Improv, Murder Mystery Lunch, Cirque Dinner Show and Howling at The Moon. All were entertaining but, of these options, the Murder Mystery Lunch is not to be missed. Hilarious hour and half with the crew from Second City!
On the down side, my 21 year old daughter couldn't seem to connect with people her own age and the dancing 'parties' were a total bust. We went with her after the first night and were often several people of a handful on the dance floor. Kind of a bummer for her, but we had some great family time overall.
The facilities were clean and the crew was great. Room was good and our steward (Junmar) was the best! Took phenomenal care of our family, especially when my 69-year old mother fell ill mid week.

Comfortable accommodations for our family of five (two connecting rooms). Only downside, the air conditioning in one room diminished in power the last several days of the cruise.
