Review summary

Bed-bad. Food-bad. Nickel and diming-bad. $10.00 for limited selection of mostly unheard of movies (Each). Really?! How much does this actually cost NCL? "Free" tv channels (other than news) just keeps re-running same shows. No, i didn't go on cruise to watch TV, but come on... tiny TV that is way offset from bed. They also started charging $5 for coffee delivery in the morning (family "suite"). Make that $6..don't forget the 18% automated gratuity for delivering the wrong order at the wrong time. DON'T apply "world points" to your onboard account. If you don't use them all, you lose them. Your only recourse is to go buy a bunch of overpriced shop items that could be purchased elsewhere cheaper (if you wanted them at all). We were screwed out of $650.00. We could have used it to pay our normal credit card bill but not now. But isn't this exactly what the cruise line wants? Of course it is. We were TOLD it was refundable. Small print says otherwise. Thanks NCL. Princess...good food, excellent entertainment, massive free movie selection, free continental breakfast delivery. 2 big screen tvs (comparable room). First cruise on ncl 9/14/1986...Last cruise (ever) on ncl 9/8/2024
