Couldn't agree more. It's odd to me that people can't have an opinion. The same trolls against every review under 5 stars. They're cool.

I have tried several cruise lines and have always been honest with my reviews. I also noticed that Norwegian supporters literally fight for good reviews. I suspected before some of them were placed to find fault with negative reviews. And they were quite aggressive. After posting my review on Epic I could pinpoint which staff members were doing it. I wish they would focus on improving customer service instead of trying to change public opinion.

I like how PandC... trolls every review, and disagrees with everyone who doesn't love NCL. (My family, friends and I have chuckled over that for a bit now.) HAHA. Thanks for reviewing your personal experience, vicknick. We can't wait for our next cruise. :-)

The Suite Life

Middling

Enjoyable 21nights and over 5000 miles. Great crew. We are in our 70s and enjoyed the more senior mix of guests. Garden cafe disappointing except breakfast.
