Review summary

Booked this cruise on a last minute deal that they advertised so cheap I couldn't resist. After all the hidden fees were added it ended up being the same amount as a normal cruise but I was excited about the cruise already so decided to go anyways. On the morning of the last day we were leaving the ship I was shocked to AGAIN be hit with a huge bill of HIDDEN FEES I had already thought I payed for. So it ended up costing me way more than expecting. The food was okay since I think they wanted you to spend more money on one of the 6 restaurants you had to pay extra for. I won't be going on another Norwegian cruse

NCL doesn't hide any of the fees you can see them all before you book, you either book through a third-party or didn't know what you were doing.

Did you book through NCL or a 3rd party? I was able to see all charges on the NCL website prior to sailing, not including what I spent on the ship for casino, bingo, shopping, etc. prepaid everything except $164 incurred during the cruise on purchases.

what "hidden" fees? I don't want to be surprised with taxes and gratuities and port fees and such.
