Review summary

Not the experience I have come to expect from many other NCL cruises. Hopefully, they can get back to where they were and figure out the food.

Food and Dining

The food on this cruise was not what I'm used to from NCL. Dry chicken and fish. Great items were removed from specialty restaurants. Drinks were fine except for one, but I had the package, so no big deal.

Ship tip

If you have cruised with NCL before, don't expect the NCL experience yet, it was more like Carnival.
