Embarkation

1 out of 5

Horrible embarkation. They (NCL) got nothing right. Took hours to get on. In the meantime they had thousands of people mucking around each other in close proximity spreading disease.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Food was a nightmare. Seen better buffets in the ghetto. Fruit not mature, hard bananas, nothing ripe. The food was half assed at best

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

nothing for teens except at 11 pm. who the heck schedules teen parties at 11 pm. they remove deck chairs at 7 pm. deck is dead at 7

Entertainment

There is always something good about a cruise. You gave a lot of 1 stars. Don’t seem fair.

Where was a Fuzzy Navel costing $24? That's not an NCL price point for a pool drink...

Those “people walking around spreading disease” are your fellow passengers, with whom you get to share everything for the duration of the cruise…the difference at embarkation is that you are still on land, and with the option to not cruise at all 😷🤧🤮. Ordering drinks without a beverage package on board a 5-7 day cruise😬 🤑NOPE!

I think this person needs to avoid the cheaper cruises and go with the top end ones. Or better yet, take no more cruises.
