In response to review, CrusinTim says ...

Just curious if this was your first cruise experience.

oh,btw, if you think my post didn't make sense, then I understand how you thought the daily charges were hidden. Just sayin

All I asked was how often you've cruised with NCL . Was it a one time bad experience ? Or did you try it a couple of times and have bad experiences each time ? In 9 cruises with them I have had maybe one or two bad meals. My one experience with Royal was a disaster. Would I give them another shot ? Maybe, if that's what my group decided to do. My last Carnival cruise was mediocre at best food wise. I do agree however with your views regarding Celebrity. Excellent line, a little pricey, but I can live with it. We all have our favourites , but if we all kept giving our opinions on the lines we dislike, no one would ever cruise.

damn quote didn't come over, but you know what I mean

@BAK1061 your comment was irrelevant and did not make sense until the second to last sentence. I said the cruise SUCKED AND IT DID! Get over it! And I prefer IHOP btw! (Don't really care for Denny's) ;)

Read my post..........I did not complain, I gave my opinion... I even said "in my opinion" after your rant about a year ago that I need to state that my comments are only my opinion..... so that is just for you.

How many times are you going to complain when I state my opinion ? Or am I not allowed to give an opinion that is not your opinion ? I simply gave MY OPINION and suggest that since they did not like NCL that they try a better cruise line.

Sorry if your feelings were hurt.

@Jazrenee92, Cruise lines depends on your demographic and what your looking for in a cruise. The higher end lines tend to cost more and cater to an older demographic. In my current point in life I prefer Celebrity for the high quality of food and service, the lecture series, elegant ships, upscale atmosphere and not a lot of kids or teens running around. If I was in my 20's or 30's I would find Celebrity to sedate for me.

I can also get onto a Carnival ship and have a blast. I know what to expect with each line so I'm not upset or feel that I'm not getting what I want. I know that a 3 night cruise is a party ship with lots of drinking and young guest (fun to people watch).

Cruising is a learning curve, you need to try different lines and see what you like. The cruise line that you like today may not be a good fit in 20 years.

A cruise line that I do not like may be the favorite of other cruisers, you need to find the one that you like.

I would need to know a lot more about you before I could recommend a line that you may enjoy.

How many times have you been on NCL ? I mean, the way you keep complaining about their food and service. If you think NCL is bad, what do you think of Carnival ?

Daily charges, everyone knows about them. Except people that don't do ANY research about cruising, or don't read any part of their cruise contract.

Same food EVERY DAY at the buffet ? ‚ That's a downright lie. ‚ Some things may be served daily, but there is a daily theme that changes. ‚ Look beyond the pizza and burgers.

Drinks were free ? Never. It's their largest money maker. ‚ And by " their ", I mean every cruise line.

Perhaps the staff attitude reflected your own. ‚ But I doubt it. ‚ NCL staff has always been very nice to us and our friends.

Are you sure they were cranes, and not flamingos?

ok, I see you had the drink package, so drinks were free. Sort of. Restaurants had no taste ? LeBistro and Cagneys are excellent. But, to each his own. Try Denny's.

@Kream36: Awww thanks buddy I get that a lot. But I did mention in my initial review that "Michael was great" awesome personality! They were great with sanitization as well! But everything else (thumbs down)

@kream36: I treat people the way they treat me and they are NOT volunteers. They are getting paid for a job that they are SUPPOSED to be doing. They signed up for it.‚

@CruisinTim: the alcohol package was included with the particular trip because no one on the ship paid for alcohol unless a person ordered top shelf. I went to eat at two other restaurants on the ship and the food had no flavor, I was not impressed at all. No one informed me of the service charge, but I wouldn't mind paying a service charge if the service was actually good:)

@meghad23: I read the fine print and nothing was mentioned. I was informed in fine print after my trip.

@Jusme: what cruise line do you suggest?

@Kream36: You must work for the cruise line and feel unappreciated. Lol just know that a smile goes a long way as well. THANK YOU for your response :)
