We were on the NYC to Galveston, and we were also, for much of it, disappointed in the small venues (50 seats at the Improv?? And pillars blocking many of those!) Uncomfortably tight seating in the small main theater, and waaay too loud volume on every show, thank goodness for earplugs! If we weren't in the wonderful Haven I would have been mad. Haven food good, all other venues very hit and miss. Bars were great! And, I do understand they are still working out the kinks. Hard to find comfy chairs (lOTS of seating, but, wow, most were hard on my back). I could do a whole post on the pros and cons, but still recovering from the cruise. They wanted to create cozy venues, but it did not work with 3000 people competing for them. I had to show up 30-40 minutes early for lectures/shows at Syds or Improv, just to stand in the back, even with reservations. Sad. And they are going to build more like the Prima. My next NCL will be on an older ship for sure. That said, I liked the colors and decor. Beautiful.
