Movies under the stars are nothing new. Many of the Pacific combi-liners and freighters would for the crew and the few passengers, have some folding chairs, portable screen and 16mm projector, since there was little room inside the ship that was not generating revenue. Atlanitc? too cold.

The Waterfront is a lovely feature but this is a very big ship.
I'm not sure how many seats and how much standing space there is but I do know 4,000 people will not fit on it. I even wonder if 400 people will?
I guess NCL hop that the passengers will be spread between H2O, in the Theatre, In Bliss, in headlines, in the Spiegel tent, or dining etc.
The sun shone during the day in Southampton and a group of people drank at just one of the waterfront bars. I had difficulty squeezing through them.
It’s wide enough (without people) for a wheelchair, but I would not want to try and navigate it in a wheelchair.

Personably I think it will get very crowded especially on a warm evening. I also wonder how much noise will travel up to the balcony cabins directly above.
I recall similar concerns about Oasis’s Central park. I never saw it crowded, simply because there are not too many reason for hundreds of passengers to gather in it. The restaurants mainly have internal seating.

I belive the screen is generally used on a warm evening as a backdrop for the night-club experience, rather than for movies.
Epic (and Breakaway) have another large video screen in their Atriums, which was used for occasionally showing movies on-board Epic.
The problem is that there is always talking from the bar and café from those who do not want to watch the move. Not ideal!
