I was on the Prima and children were allowed in the pool but it is small and filled with adults. Also, it’s only filled when in port. At sea the pool is filled up about 2 /3rds to the top because as the boat moves it creates big waves. The grandkids may like drifting back and forth. Enjoy!

If you’re planning on doing anything outside of Silver Cove, get there early and do it before you head over and it gets crowded on the island. With that said, if you’re paying for Silver Cove you should just go over there as fast as you can and enjoy it. My wife and I took the priority tender, we were the first off and went straight to the check in station. Once you sign in they tell you to wait in the back. That was a mistake. We spent 20 minutes waiting for the escort to check others in and walk us to the shuttle area. We meet a great family while waiting but there is nothing relaxing about waiting. Instead, just walk up past the shopping area and the shuttles will be waiting for you. Also, the staff is great. Let them spend time getting you food and snacks so you can spend your time relaxing or enjoying the activities. But remember to tip them well as many live on the island.

I like the cove section better than the ocean. It’s more secluded plus you’re closer to the new pool. The cabanas with the bedrooms are nice if you have elders or kids that may need a nap or a break from the sun. You’re only there for about 7 hours so do you spent it sleeping? We stayed at cabana with 1 bedroom but we rarely stayed inside. The best benefits of the cabana was the private bathroom, shaded patio, reserved beach seats and outstanding service.

The infinity pool seems to be on the farthest point of Silver Cove. I’ve heard the guest carts are taking people from reception desk to their rooms. Does anyone know if the carts are taking people back and forth to the infinity pool? I have a family member with mobility issues so that would be a great option.

Were those bedroom villas by the SC check or regular villas? The map makes it seem like the bedroom villas are closest.

I’ve seen many pictures of the lagoon at GSC and I seem to get a different feel for the beach every time. Some angles it looks rather flat but others look very steep. From the NCL intro, the basic Villa side looks extremely steep and the corner bridge sort of confirms it. From the reception and 1BR/ 2BR Villa side it looks more flat. Has anyone who has visited noticed a difference? Seems like like a silly question but from someone with knee issues it makes a difference. Thanks!

Haven guests have priority tenders off the boat. Some Villa guests have said the same. What about the tenders back to the boat. Do they get priority back to the ship?

Does the tram take you only to the reception center or do they take you to Villa as well? My father in law has a hard time walking. We wanted to rent a lagoon villa so he can rest comfortable while we are on the beach. It seems like the lagoon villas are on the other side of the island.
