We found the ship to be in good condition and couldn't find any wear and tear, it's still decorated through out in Hawaiian theme which we found to be just fine, staff through out the ship were very pleasant and accommodating including our room steward Romeo.
Latitudes Exclusive Onboard Gathering with Ship Officers (silver and up) we attended both which were held in the Spinnaker Lounge on the first sea day at 7:00 pm. Neither was well attended in fact one of the officers said they were expecting about 200 guests but I don't think there was a 100 on either week. Folks need to attend this or it will soon be gone.

Embarkment was a breeze as we arrived later in the day via NCL transfer from airport to pier via motor coach. Our aft cabin 9174 was just great with lots of sun, privacy and quiet. Warning that the balconies on deck 9 are not that spacious as some would like but ours had 2 tall chairs and a table which were perfect for us.
Can't beat aft balconies cabins, no wind, is quieter with little hallway traffic.
