Review summary
This was our fourth cruise with NCL and unfortunately, it will be our last. I understand that everyone has to cut corners, but my husband and I feel that you have cut the quality of the food tremendously. We were not happy with the meals we had in the dining rooms that are included in the price. We also sampled one of your "specialty" restaurants, and felt the same way. As far as the theater shows, we only enjoyed the magician and comedian. The dancers were amateurish at best. Your other entertainers (music in other parts of the ship) were very good, though. We felt we were being nickel and dimed. With 10 restaurants on board and only 3 were included in the price says it all. Even though you pay extra for the others, the quality was no better. As you are, we were celebrating our 40th anniversary and even though our travel agent notified you of this, it was not recognized. Overall, I have to say it was not very enjoyable.Ship experiences
