Review summary

Very nice but spent a lot more money than I had anticipated. Charging $15 cork fee for each bottle of wine when bringing bottles from port-of-call is very uncalled for and petty. Especially since my bar tab was very, very high. Insult on top of injury.

Good food and drinks but drink prices are too high. Come on over 10 USD for each beer?

Might I recommend Regent or Crystal? Wine is served with dinner but the cruise will cost three to five times what NCL charges.

An easy way to get around this is not to drink!

What Shh813 said. Cork fee is spelled out in your cruise documents so it shouldn't have been a surprise.

My sister in law brought 2 bottles of wine , opened them in her room, poured glasses of wine to take to dining room- no cork fee.
