Seaside/Seaview RS has always been listed as sleeps 4. Some of the early info for Seashore had the RS as sleeps 5. The stellar MSC website which is known for pinpoint accuracy also listed it as sleeps 5. I remember thinking that I could add my mom if I wanted. Other websites and travel agencies copied the info. Some still have 5 for the RS even though the stateroom is practically identical to Seaside/Seaview. AFAIK, it is sleeps 4 in the RS for all 4 ship's. ...even though that stellar MSC site still has 5. 😉

Try 4 people and see what happens. Every Royal Suite that I have booked was for 4 people. You might see "Fully Booked/Sold Out" when trying 5 but they probably will be available when trying 4.

Some more info for the general population.....(LINK) Notify the Cruise Line When You Book Let your travel agent or your cruise reservations agent know about your dietary needs as soon as you book your cruise. Norwegian requires notice 30 days before sailing. Advance notice allows the cruise line to fulfill your request. However, the earlier you inform your reservations or travel agent, the better. Contact Accessible Travel Norwegian Cruise Line has a special toll-free phone number for accessible travel. The number is 866-584-9756. In addition to notifying your reservation or travel agent of your special diet, it is also best to talk with an Access Coordinator. They can help ensure that your needs are met to the extent possible so that you have a wonderful cruising experience. Talk to the Restaurant Manager When you board the cruise ship, make sure that the restaurant manager or person in charge of onboard dining is aware of your dietary needs. Norwegian offers Freestyle Dining, which means that there are no fixed dining times or tables. You can dine where and when you want. Since you won’t likely have the same dining staff every night, talking to the dining manager will ensure that your dietary needs are taken care of — no matter where you choose to dine. ...but for Haven guests, the service will be more personal/direct. In addition to sending an email to the the concierge deck ( NorwegianConciergeDesk@ncl.com ), you can also email the Access Desk. Being a Haven guest, the concierge desk SHOULD forward your requests to the appropriate people but you can do it yourself just to make sure. DIETARY REQUIREMENTS Special Medical, Allergy and Diabetes Guests with special medical diets and/or food allergies should contact the Access Desk to discuss Norwegian Cruise Line's policies and procedures concerning special diets and your specific allergies prior to your cruise. Because the vessels are supplied all over the world, it may be easier to meet your specific food allergy requirements in some countries, but very difficult in others. Special dietary requests should be submitted at least 45 days prior to sailing. Any requests inside 45 days cannot be guaranteed. We can arrange to have no sugar and low sodium meals for guests with those specific medical dietary restrictions upon request. Refrigerators are available in many staterooms for storing insulin. PLEASE NOTE: Kosher Dining is not handled through the Access Desk. Click here for more information.

Speak with the maître d' when you board. They will coordinate with the chefs and have something specially prepared. NCL can be very accommodating for Haven guests IF the Haven guest makes a request.

It's all about choice. Why offer an Oceanview? Isn't an Inside good enough? Why offer a Balcony? Isn't an Oceanview good enough? Why offer a Club Balcony? isn't a Balcony good enough? Why offer a Suite? Isn't a Club balcony good enough? There are different levels and people pick and choose based on what they want and on what they are willing to pay. There's nothing wrong with offering a choice. If option A isn't good enough, take option B and so on. ^^ This. If the MDR food was bad, I could understand the resentment towards the specialty restaurants. Even though it has been a while, I had no problem with the MDR food. Obviously, not every food item will be great but if someone eats all of their meals in the MDR, they won't suffer. Agree. One of the best things about the specialty restaurants is the variety. I'd be in favor of more diversity as far as different cultural foods and with so many parts of the world being represented by NCL staff, there is an opportunity to explore. Not every guests wants the same food that they can eat at home....but if they do, the option is there for them.

There is some coverage from above but not as much coverage as Escape. For the largest balconies in that section (BA/GA/Escape/Joy/Bliss/Encore), most of the balcony will be exposed and seen from above but there is some coverage (about 1/4 to 1/5) from the balcony above whether it is a standard balcony or a large balcony. The thick white section above shows where the coverage is...

It happened to me as well. A little more than 90 days out. When I later added excursions/cabana rental, a new/updated one was sent. I'm still more than 20 days out. Shockingly, nothing is wrong....so far. 😉

For your stateroom category, every stateroom has a sofabed except for the wheelchair accessible ones. The BBs that sleep 4 have a sofabed near the closet and a pullman above the sofa. A "sleeps 3" can have the bed near the closet or near the balcony. Most that sleep 3 have the bed near the closet.

All of the Project Leonardo ships (NCL Prima, Viva, et al) are based on Fincantieri's Project Mille which is also true for MSC Seaside, Seaview, Seashore (and Seascape) as well as Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady (and Resilient Lady). The Project Mille concept was first shown in 2013 and the first ship based on it (Seaside) has been sailing since 2017. Since the shutdown, it's unknown who is gaining or losing at the moment. It will take time for things to get back to normal. NCLH is currently 4th behind the Carnival Corp, Royal Caribbean Group, and MSC. Nothing is free. Whether someone has a tattoo or doesn't have a tattoo has nothing to do with their behavior. It is entirely possible to cruise on a ship that has a Haven/Yacht Club/Retreat/Suite Neighborhood/Havana type of section and never notice that something nefarious is happening behind those locked doors. Just enjoy the rest of the ship. MSC has a Yacht Club as well as assigned dining for those outside of the Yacht Club.

With the current promo, all over 21 get the PBP if selected... Premium Beverage Package is applicable to all qualified sailings excluding Pride of America. Applicable to guests 1-8 on the reservation. If 3-8 guest is under 21 years of age, Premium Beverage package does not apply and soda package will not be given as a substitution.

I've sailed both on different ships and will continue to sail both on the upcoming ships. Each has strengths and weaknesses. Neither is perfect but both suit me and my family. The ability to book the Yacht Club in an interior stateroom makes the price advantage even greater since the Haven cannot be booked in the same way. The least expensive Haven suite is almost always going to cost more than the least expensive Yacht Club suite. Stateroom size and variety favors NCL but for the price differences, it's sometimes less expensive to book 2 YC Deluxe balcony suites for the price of a large 2BR Haven suite. When people ask, I recommend that people try both with an open mind.
