Review summary

The favorite part was the beverage package. Thank goodness we had that or we may have jumped overboard! Norwegian nickel and dimed you to death. Charges for everything. Room was next to a staff area and below the theater. Couldn't sleep from all the noise. People fighting down the hall and eventually their room was guarded by security. They only had 1 complimentary steak night the first night. No chocolate feast. Carnival food surpasses Norwegian by far. Would we do Norwegian Cruiseline again? Only if we won a free cruise. We would not plan a vacation through them again.👎🏻

On my last cruise Norwegian definitely had more redneck trailer trash than a carnival cruise. Drunk in the spa partying it up like it was on the H20 deck acting obnoxious. So when you cruise you never know who you will be stuck with.

All while my family was waiting at teppanyaki to be seated but needed this sorted, dinning reservations 2 months prior and still had to wait 30 minutes to be seated a party of 20 was too difficult and MDR's took between 3-4 hours to dine. A few other issues, never an issue with carnival 15 drinks per day compared to unlimited you must be in the wrong places if you don't see drunk trailer trash!

I sadly will agree, the best thing about our cruise was our Steward, specialty restaurants and Leo the bartender. I didn't mind that we were rerouted however no option to debark and refund or reschedule, got to both ports late so nothing to do, they charged my kids for a specialty dinning they didn't go to and when I went to have them fix it CS had no idea so the rep had to go in back for 42 min.

Hey now. I love my Carnival cruises. This will be my first time (4/2/2017) trying another line. I can't wait to finally have something to compare it to. No trash talking Carnival please. Lol

You can have steak every night. Every restaurant has it on the menu. As far as your room selection did you not research what was around? How where people fighting the fault of NCL? Seems to me they did a good job by having a security guard there. Some ppl can't be pleased
