Review summary

I am a frequent cruiser on Rccl and Carnival and thought i would give NCL a try.  Food was very disapointing as well as the shows, never enough seats by the pool and was always crowded in hot tubs.  room steward was terrible.  never again my recommendation for all reading this is go to RCCL or carnival your experience will be much better.

The food in the "complimentary" dining rooms is very poor and the type of food offered is inexpensive.  How about "bangors and meatballs" as a special entree?  Macaroni and cheese, anyone?  How about the same seven dishes (on the left-hand side of the menu) being offered each day of which five were pasta.  And of those five, four were a type of lasagne.   Even the special entrees were served on pasta or a large bed of rice.  There was prime rib offered one night and it was plated pecularly.  It was a huge lump of meat in the middle of the plate.  Underneath was a half ear of corn.  (Honestly, have you ever seen an ear of corn served with roast beef?)  It was interesting to me to see that food that was offered as an entree special one day would appear as an appetizer the next day, but served cold.  Did anyone else catch on to this?  The desserts were so bad that I switched to plain ice cream...but that was served melted with huge ice crystals in it.  Ooops...you got me on a rant.

oh ok on the vibe passes. I liked carnival's food in the buffet and in the MDR. I'm cruising carnival 2 more times before my RCCL and NCL cruises so I'll just keep my fingers crossed I'll like it. I probably don't have the most discerning pallet anyway...

The buffet isnt great as none are, but all the rest were very good. We didn't see the shows as not our taste. Get yourself vibe passes, you won't be sorry..no crowds.

This is the second time I've heard the food on NCL was disappointing. I'm booked in 17---I hope it gets better by then.
