Review summary

 

 

 

 

This was our first cruise with Norwegian.  We have previously gone with Princess on three other cruises and once with Royal Caribbean.  Free Style Cruising with Norwegian is not the way to go.  We felt as though we were "nickel and dimmed to death", with all the "extra charges" for the "upscale restaurants" and shows!

The corkage fees for drinking a bottle of your own wine in your state room is ridiculous.

If you carry on wine when you first board and they find it, there is a corkage fee of $15 U.S. We put our wine in the checked bags and hope they don't flag it, we have been lucky many times.
