Review summary

We miss the old English pub that's been turned into a wine cellar, because it was cozy and not hectic like O'Sheehan's and some of the other bars. Not crazy about the Spring Break feel of the last cruise. We'd like to go when there are less kids this June. Maybe 2nd week and not the last week. Idk. 

Bartenders don't appear to be happy with their jobs. We didn't learn until after we got home that our tips to them, on the spot, mean more to them than the gratuities we pay. I don't think they get that. 

Love having so much to do OR so little to do, whenever we like!  Loved the balcony and the staff everywhere!  Incredible!  Getting a suite next time! We are going to love it. We love Norwegian. The cons won't stop us from being regulars. 

Also, the ship looks great after the redo!

We will be back. We just need to get our stuff together and book.

Loved it, loved the care it was given. We tipped him! Should've tipped bartenders more often!

Ship tip

It's true. I do like the coziness of a smaller vessel, but think about the time of year you book. Every time is awesome, but crowds change with times of year. You just have to go to know exactly how awesome it is to be pampered daily!

I agree. We didn't care for the Wine Cellar. We enjoyed the other Pub that was there last year.

Thank you for the honest review!! The DSC debate is very interesting....... request a refund from NCL and tip cash accordingly..... or have the DSC as a "cruise cost" and tip cash in addition ...... or just use the DSC and trust NCL.
