Boarding was fast and organized. We hung out by the pool all day. Though rooms were ready at 1:30, we didn't go until about 4pm. Why rush? Our inside room on deck 11 aft was tiny for 4 people. I requested an upgrade but the ship was at capacity Thanksgiving week. Once we separated the bottom beds so we essentially had two bunk beds on either side, which provided more walking space, it was a bit better. Room and bathroom was very clean. The ship is huge with so many activities, so many lovely free places to eat (loved that-felt like specialty restaurants every night, but included) and excellent food overall. Really delicious, even at the buffet. Moderno was a great experience, but you don't need to pay for specialty restaurants to eat well or feel pampered on this ship. I loved that we didn't get approached to buy much, like specialty dining or spa , the way you do on other cruise lines. Entertainment was fantastic, especially dueling pianos, one of the comedians, and Millian Dollar Quartet. My sister said the magic show was great too. Bars were plentiful, ecclectic, and had great service, with one exception being the Irish pub. The Asian bartenders served me a Guinness in the can and didn't even provide the glass - with a CO2 ball in the can, the glass is pretty essential. Anyway, they did have fun games inthere, like bowling and skeet ball. The one improvement I'd make to the ship is to increase the size of both pools, kids and adults. They were so tiny, on any at-sea days or later in the day on port days, they were too crowded. With such a huge ship, they should have sacrificed some deck lounge space for more pool space. Ports were great, loved the rain forest boat ride in Belize, the resort getaway in Honduras, and most especially, swimming with the dolphins in Cozumel. Our 9 and 11 year olds loved this first cruise so much, one continues to wear her ship id around the house!!! I think she's hoping for similar food options at home LOL Overall, our next cruise would be on Norwegian again, but in a suite.
