This cruise was only 75% full and we still could not get tickets to see many of the shows. This is the first cruise we have been on that requires you to sign up to see entertainment. A small one story theater that only holds a couple hundred people cannot adequately support several thousand passengers. The other entertainment venues are even smaller. They even charged extra for several of the available shows. The shows we did see were very good. On at sea days there was a lot of down time with little entertainment options. The cabin was the smallest we have ever stayed in. You also had to have dining reservations or wait a long time for a table in one of the 3 free main restaurants. I tried making reservations a month before the cruise and some times were already full. I saw many upset people trying to get a table for dinner. The food was good and the wait staff good most of the time. We had the all inclusive drink package, however you had to pay extra if you wanted a bottle of water. Most of the time I had to go to the bar to get drinks since it was difficult to find a waiter. It appears NCL reduced the size of the public venues and rooms in order to add more rooms to make more money. Consider a different ship for your cruise.

Cabin Review

Family Inside Stateroom

Cabin I1

The smallest room we have stayed in. It is designed for 4 people with 2 pull down bunks. You cannot fit 4 people and luggage in this room. We barely had room for the 2 of us.
