OK, just to say. We were a bit apprehensive about this ship but it was a wonderful value and we hadn't been on NCl in 12 years so we gave it a go. I agree, she looks strange but who stands around and looks at the ship. I really loved it and I give NCL lots of compliments for trying new things and changing the industry. After all, they introduced the Norway in 1980 and I sailed on her that year. This was cruise number 34 for me.
Getting on board - Very easy and efficient even without the nice facility they have in Ft. Lauderdale for the Oasis and Allure. The corkage fee process was very civilized and easy.
I really loved the ship. It offered everything I wanted and more. The casino smoking smell was no worse than any other ship these days. The Caribbean Princess was worse I think.
Love it. A bit tight but very well designed. Don't be scared about the bathroom being divided. It is great. It provides lots of flexibility. The BEST shower on the sea. Very nice. I loved the soap. Very nice fragrance. Our cabin steward was just wonderful! I remember her name and think of her kind, gentle service often.
