The beverage package is made full use of on this ship, its not for anyone who is looking for a quiet cruise, if you like lots of high fives and whooping this is the ship for you. Be prepared to enjoy the company overly lubricated passengers on a daily basis.

It you are a smoker or travelling with smokers in your party then forget this boat. Smokers are treated as if they have some terrible contagious disease, The Sunset bar is the main smoking area in the forward part of the ship , it has 8 stools at the bar and another 8 in an adjacent area . When its raining with the wind to starboard, the whole area is soaked and its impossible to use the area. Its always crowded. The alternative smoking area is a part the casino ( closed when in port) and the Spice H2o aft, on the starboard side which has a seating capacity for smokers of about 20 to 30. Again its always packed and its in the open and is useless in wet weather . So that's a total of less than 50 seats for smokers on a ship with of over 4000 and in wet weather when in port that reduces to ZERO. Come on NCL your sailing a ship belching out diesel fumes by the bucket load, and encouraging heavy drinking but punishing the smokers for enjoying tobacco .

On the plus side, the entertainment in the theater was brilliant, the shows Burn the floor and the Million dollar quartet was of the highest standard

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony Stateroom

Cabin BB

Tiny balcony, should be called a ledge not a balcony, just big enough for two chairs and a table, much . Its right above the theater and you can heat the thumping of the bass through the floor during daily rehearsals. Its most annoying if you want to have a lazy day in the cabin

Roatan

Very deprived area, only felt safe in the port area. weather was poor with rain showers all day
