I have a cruise on the NCL Luna coming up soon and I was just wondering what to expect from my cabin. I have a forward facing suite on deck 9 and I didn’t realize it at the time of booking but the theater/club appears to be just below us on deck 8. Has anyone here stayed in forward cabins at or near the very front of the ship on deck 9? Did you notice a lot of noise and vibration from the theater/club? If so, what time of night does the club close? I’m asking because we’re bringing my elderly mother on her first cruise and I hope to make this a pleasant experience. I tried looking online for answers but I guess because the ship is new, there are no reviews yet for my particular cabin.

We're on the Boston to Halifax cruise this fall on the Breakaway. 10th cruise with NCL but I've never done this one and if anyone has any suggestions for excursions or things to do please let me know. Boston I'm good we've been before. It's the other stops I've never been to Newort RI, Bar Harbor Main, St. John New Brunswick and Halifax Nova Scotia.

I'm a Spanish national departing on a cruise in NCL from Miami. I just realised that my passport expires 5 months after the end of the voyage with NCL, and my cruise departs in two weeks. I spoke with Customs and Border Patrol, and they said that due to my nationality, they wouldn't deny me entry or boarding to the boat, but NCL is a private company with its own rules. Are they strict with the 6-month validity rule? Or should I ask for an emergency passport from my consulate?

ETA: none of the countries I'm visting have these requirements.

Hey everyone! We’re about to book our first cruise on the Jubilee for April! My husband and I would really like a private balcony. On previous cruises, we’ve had regular balconies where people on the decks above could look directly down onto ours, so we’re hoping to avoid that.
I’ve been looking at cove balconies because they seem to offer more privacy, but I’ve heard some of them have obstructed or less desirable views. Does anyone have recommendations for either:
-A regular balcony that’s more private from people looking down above, or
-A cove balcony with a good, mostly unobstructed view?
I tried looking at deck plans but it’s hard to tell which balcony room is the best.
Thanks in advance!
