Review summary

Staff was not friendly at all. Never smiled except the women workers. No manners. long wait times for drinks. Even with extra tipping for. Any kind of extra entertainment you wanted to participate in cost extra. Front desk never answered phone. Was closed in the middle of the night. Didn't meet our steward tell day 3. If the service and staff were better they would have got 5 stars. But you could just tell the workers did not want to be there. We heard so many people complain about this and that and said it nothing like this on other cruise lines. That they will never be back with Norwegian. I am willing to give them one more chance since this was my first cruise but my wife works in the restaurant/bar business and said the staff were horrible and had no communication or people skills. Very rude. Also alotdidnt understand English the greatest.

I cruised with Princess recently and was pretty much an all filipino crew. These people were incredible. Not one long face and treated us like gold.

Martine, They were on the same cruise as you?! Funny have 2 people find such differing events

Wow... When did you travel? I was just on that cruise (came back December 5th) and got a totally opposite experience. Mind you I was traveling solo and was in a Studio cabin. My steward was the 1st staff I had interaction with. Very friendly and made me feel welcomed right away. I am shocked of the experience you guys had and I am glad you are willing to give them another chance. My only complaint was debarkation. It was a total mess in my opinion.
