Review summary

Very disappointed that the Veterans appreciation was absolutely the worst. Such a disrespect to our Veterans. There wasn't even a NCL representative that showed up. We all just sat and talked. Nothing was actually planned. Other than that it was amazing. Met great people, ate great food and entertainment was exceptional.

We stayed in Haatiesburg night before. Room rates in NOLA were $300-$500 a night because of final four. We went straight to port

So sorry about the disappointment regarding the lack of Veterans appreciation. There is no reason for this. My husband is US Army, and my father is a Vietnam veteran. I understand the sacrifices that are made/and have been made by our veterans. Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸❤️

Thank you to all the veterans! I did think it was nice of of NCL to construct a venue dedicated to veterans. It was nicely decorated. I believe the concept was to provide a place where veterans are honored and can go and just talk with other vets. This is the same "unhosted" type venue offered to many groups. I can't imagine what kind of program they could have put on that would appeal to everyone.
