Review summary

This was our 8th cruise with NCL and we couldn’t believe how much they now nickel and dime you. In the past they always offered a laundry special mid cruise, they took that away, up charges for some drinks and dinners even with the drink and dining package. I understand Covid hit the cruise industry hard, but over charging and removing offers/perks isn’t the way to increase profits.

Food and Dining

In the past NCL had great food, even the buffet always had a great selection, but this cruise was very disappointing. The buffet was mostly “slop” with the same offerings every night. It was very difficult getting a reservation at the specialty restaurants, unless you wanted to eat at 9:00 pm.
