It's so nice and quiet right now.  With limited capacity you see a real difference in the public spaces.  Thanks for taking us through this walkthrough.  Interested to see what shows will be on board this week.

Kinky Boots and Choir of Man are both up this week.

Enjoying your review! Thank you!!

Sorry if I missed it, what kind of room do you have on deck 15? Can you take a photo of the bathroom please? How do you like your location?

Observation lounge breakfast. 

 

Nothing special here as it's only pastries, meat and cheese, cereals, fruits, and drinks like coffee and juices. Maybe oatmeal I saw there as well.

Checking out the Thermal Suite today?  I imagine a lot of people are going to book it due to the weather.  Presumably there's some kind of cap so it doesn't become a zoo in there.

Cruising vicariously through your photos and comments.  What is the current onboard capacity? Did you reserve specialty dining and entertainment prior to boarding?

Some from the pool deck.

 

A light rain now.

Are the pools heated by chance? Hoping they are so if we get a wild hair next week we can cannonball in and then hightail it to the hot tubs in the thermal spa when we get cold!

[ClevelandCruisin]

All the outdoor pools are heated, but it's pretty windy out.

 

Yes we will be checking out the spa later. I haven't seen the passes for sale listed anywhere. Not sure they're available to the public.

 

I heard around 2,100 people or around 50% capacity. The ship is walking friendly,  pretty empty. Had no trouble walking up anywhere to sit.

 

We booked specialty dining prior. Tonight is Le Bistro I believe.

 

We booked shows through the ncl app once on board.  Only Choir of Man, comedy are available to book.

 

Today's lunch will be food Republic, which is only open on sea days 12pm-130pm.

[ClevelandCruisin]

Clearing up nice.

 

Very windy and about 40 degrees

I hope that’s only first breakfast, you’re eating for all of us and we need more food pics😉
