Our cabin 9176 was well designed, the only modifications we would suggest are center the TV a little more towards the bed & modify or change the type of closet doors. Very annoying to take out hanging clothes. The cabin is well situated on the ship, we often took the stairs to get where we wanted to go. The cabin was not noisy. Since our cruise was to Alaska, we had brought additional magnet hooks to hang our jackets. I really would recommend to add a few more. We really enjoyed our stay.

It's a bit small for 2 adults. Bed was comfortable and an the view is un-obstructed in all 3 directions. Balcony had two chairs and a small table with room to move about. Noise was not a problem. Bathroom is small, nice shower with a hand wand. Real estate was minimal to lay anything out to get ready. Take some time to learn the light switches, there isn't one in the bathroom so if anyone gets up in the night the light is turned on from outside the door and the entire cabin lights up! Closet is too close to the bed for easy access and luggage storage is under the bed. Couch is a nice addition.Service was good but NCL only cleans once daily, so towels from pool use or anything brought back like wrappings or trash in general that can't be stacked outside the door quickly adds up. Compared dollar for dollar, our room last fall on Princess was better in every catagory.

It felt somewhat smaller than on other cruise ships, but it was nice overall. I would have no issue with staying in it again.

Cabin was spacious for 2 Adults, very clean, plenty of hangers and shelving for our clothes. Loved our balcony and view in aft of the ship. Room was very quiet and close to aft elevator which were never crowded or busy!!
