Yes. I have always used an app called Shipmate. Guaranteed ship return, way cheaper, got my money back immediately when weather didn’t allow us to do one excursion. No issues and many family and friends have used as well.

I would check Cruise Critic. A lot of people include pictures of the actual room they stayed in. Also an app called Shipmate. I actually found pics of the literal room I booked. You can also chat or call and I'm sure they can tell you. I would assume that they are smart enough to not ruin views when you pay for a balcony : )

Nope, only the buffet

There are no ports on the TVs to plug any peripherals into.

Of course, all staterooms are air conditioned. With the balcony door providing fresh air even in the southern Caribbean I've never seen the need for a fan, but to each his own.

Outdoor pools are salt, hot tubs are fresh. Both are chlorinated.

If you booked your room for 2 guests then it's for 2 specialty dining MEALS each. La Bistro is the best. My ex is not a "fancy food" kind of person but I convinced him and he loved everything! Moderna is also really good. Make sure you make reservations AS SOON as you can! ( I think about 90 days before the sail date?)

There's a card room on deck 6, next to the library.

There are no self-serve laundry facilities on any NCL ship. You can send items to the ship's laundry at a nominal cost, similar to your local dry cleaner. They usually run specials mid-cruise - ask your cabin attendant about it.

Get all the details by clicking What's On Board above, then choose Specialty Dining.

Yes, we purchased a 6 pack of liter size , you can also purchase a 12 pack

Yes, there is a TV in the room, there are a handful of channels catered to NCL, like shopping, and then about your cruise location and such. There are 2 random TV show channels, and 2 random movie channels. Also, a handful of cable news channels. Your TV is also interactive, so you can rent movies on your stay, make reservations, and check your account

Yes.

All cabins have mini fridges.

I went on a 9 day cruise with a family of 5. The kids loved it. (ages 15, 12 and 8) We had friends with us and their daughters were 16 and 18. The teens hung out all over the boat, they really loved the hot tubs at night and the "midnight" buffet was literally and every night thing. They have mini golf, ropes courses, rock walls, water park rides, ping pong etc etc. They were not interesting in the teen club. I liked that I felt safe (when they were in a group) to let them have independence and explore the boat. I would just make sure you pick a boat that has things to do that your kids will like. They also went to the shows and loved them as well. It was Breakaway I think and the shows were Burn the Floor and one about Johnny Cash-cant remember the name but they were AMAZING. Also comedy clubs have a "more appropriate" earlier show for families. We did have to be on deck 5 bc that is the only floor with family cabins that sleep 5. They also came and pulled down the bunk bed and made it daily, which I wasn't expecting.

Yes! That is all my husband drinks as well.

Yes, all staterooms are equipped with a hair dryer. They're usually found just outside the bathroom.

We are a two CPAP room, asked for an extension cord to accommodate the machines. We were also delivered distilled water to use upon request.

Most of the time, the rooms will be set up in a queen configuration, but you can ask your room attendant (cabin steward) to set it up as 2 twins, and they'll happily oblige and change it for you.
