Ummmm... you didn’t expect to be charged for specialty dining? Yes they board by groups. It’s always gone smooth enough for me. Did you expect a red carpet and parting of the people just for you? Judging from this review your decision to never use NCL is a bit harsh and unwarranted but to each their own I suppose.

Blondy there is no word of hate What is that ......🤦🏻‍♂️ No need to make anything up I’ve been on 20 plus cruises with other cruise lines and never experienced what I did with NCL. Go karts? They charge Laser tag? Extra charge Bowling ? Yup they charge Certain shows on board ? You got it they charge I understand paying extra for specialty restaurants and have no problem doing so But was expecting it to be a step above the main dinning room . The ports are beyond amazing and words alone can’t describe and won’t do justice to what my eyes saw! I will deff go back to Alaska as soon as I can Just not with NCL . Everyone is entitled to their opinion based on their own experiences. I’m definitely gonna keep cruising See ya ✌🏻

Sorry to hear you were unhappy. I have done 2 trips with NCL, doing a 3rd in Jan 2020 and I have never been disappointed. My first was on the Bliss.

Well someone just wants to spread the word of hate! Even if they have to make up something. Do us all a favor don’t cruise anymore.🤷🏼‍♀️

How were the ports in Alaska? You didn’t list any details on what you did. I can’t imagine being in Alaska and focusing on things that may be wrong with the ship rather than the beautiful scenery in great excursions that are available.
