Not the best NCL cruise. Ship is in serious need for a refit. Did not enjoy the rap music being played in the theater and bar areas. Thought I got on Carnival ship by mistake, had to check to be sure I was in the right place. Run in with a drunk guest before we ever left the pier. Read that NCL was trying to go upscale yet lot of rowdy college students and drunk guests on this cruise. The dress code is too relaxed, got tired of seeing hairy chests on men wearing skimpy tank tops in the main dining room and butt cheeks sticking out of too short cut off jeans on the women. No pastries served at breakfast now. Half n half cassettes now served in all dining venues, no refrigeration thus filled with chemicals and preservatives. Expect this at McDonald's or a local greasy spoon but not on a cruise line.
HA has become our cruise line of choice. The Westerdam did not disappoint us in any way. Great food, service and an elegant ship. Planning our next cruise on Ha as I write this.
Most cruiselines permit one bottle of wine per person to be brought on board free of charge. Apparently Norwegian no longer permits this without a fee. Based on the size of the confiscation line we were not the only ones to realize this. Also, our cabin steward was the worst we have ever had in our extensive cruise history. The cruise was great as was the food and most of the ships crew. Norwegian has stopped the lobster night unless you pay for one of the upscale restaurants. This is blasphemy in our books, what no lobster??? Just more of the nickel and dime stuff that seems to be creeping into the cruise scene. $3.00 for a bottle of water I can get at Costco for 10 cents is excessive in my books.

added Oct 11, 2017 cruise on Empress of the Seas to their profile.
reviewed their Cuba cruise on Empress of the Seas and gave it 3.4 stars!
Too large a ship without the service to support the passengers. Will not cruise on this class of ship again. Long lines for eats, longer lines for disembarkation of the ship. Collecting luggage a nightmare. Customer service desk lines long and slow moving.
