Most of the entertainment on this ship is gambling and bars. Other cruises I have been on had alot more shipwide parties and fun things to do. I think the ship is just so cut up it's hard to keep track of what is going on. The ports were fantastic although I couldn't believe when we tried to get back on the ship after an excursion in Barcelona we had to get in line with the HUNDREDS of people just getting on for the first time. Epic FAIL, Norwegian!!
We had an aft balcony and decided to spend the money on a suite. We ended up in 8176 and we had the little boats right under our balcony so we didn't even have a full view. We tried to get the room changed but they were so nasty to us, the guy at the desk told us that we got what we paid for? Wow! I'm going back to Royal Carribean. Another Epic fail!
We did the Ultimate dining package which was pretty good, not sure it was worth the money though as the other people on the ship seemed to have good food. The Cirque show is an incredible show BUT - the meal is not very good and the service was FREAKING HORRIBLE - they were always behind. My cousin got her main dish within the first few acts but myself and many others at my table didn't get ours till the people on the other side were on their desert. We had to tell my cousin and the other person at the table to please eat their food while it was hot.
The suite is a pain, only one person can get through at a time. Lots of storage and a great view of the top of the little boats that take you back and forth since it is directly under your balcony. :-( Don't get on this floor if you were planning on taking pictures out of your balcony.
