NCL says these always sell out fast but most people will go for a balcony stateroom and these have comfortable kingsize beds, a sofabed, good-sized bathroom with a roomy shower that can spurt water at you from several directions, a wardrobe that’s big enough for two (but possibly not four people), a fridge and TV. There are 107 Haven suites with access to their own lounge, restaurant, infinity pool, sauna and ice room. These are many and varied: inside staterooms with no window, outside staterooms with balconies, studio cabins for solos including a private communal lounge, suites of varying sizes and the ship-within-a-ship Haven suites – where Katy Perry and actor husband Orlando Bloom stayed after the christening.

There’s also The Drop, the world’s first free-fall slide at sea, taking you from deck 17 to deck 7 super-fast, and The Rush, twin slides for racing against a friend down 10 decks.Īs well as these adrenalin-fuelled amenities on the top decks, the outdoor areas along deck 8’s promenade are gorgeous, with sofas, hanging basket seats and double day beds for soaking up the sun plus a couple of infinity pools.Įqually lovely is deck 17’s Vibe Beach Club where you can pay to spend the day in the over-18s area, which has loungers, two infinity hot tubs and a bar. It’s longer and larger than the original, introduced on 2017’s Norwegian Joy and subsequent ships Bliss and Encore. You can’t ignore Prima Speedway, the first three-level electric go-kart race track at sea.

You don’t need a PCR test before embarkation or even to be fully vaccinated, although the ports may have different requirements. There are no Covid protocols onboard except hand sanitising stations in the public areas.
