Review summary

Favorite part of this cruise was the shows onboard the ship.  The dining experience was terrible to say the least!  Cabiin and cabin steward were great!  Too many passengers for our age.  Did not like freestyle dining.  Would book Holland America many, many times over Norwegian.  They are out to get as much money out of you as they can!  Don't appreciate that fact, but it is true.  So many things not included with their service!  Ship was beautiful and very clean but the dining staff did not know what they were doing.  Had enough people but they did not know what each other were doing..  I feel it was not a ship for senior citizens.  The younger people loved it but, of course, they are there to drink and party all night

Holland the coffin ship

They belong on Holland America,  There should be an age limit cut off or a crotchety test performed before boarding.  I have done 6 NCL cruises this year, between this ship and the Escape without a hitch,  They just threw away 7 good days to complaint that they where not on Holland, what a shame.  We went on a Holland by mistake, we were the youngest on the ship I believe, and we were in our forties, but we didn't complain, we made the best of it.  PEOPLE LEARN NOT TO GET ON ANY SHIP OR CRUISE LINE WITH AN EXPECTATION OF ANY KIND,  DON'T START COMPARING while you are there, NO MATTER WHAT, JUST LET THE SHIP REVEAL ITSELF TO YOU AND GO FROM THERE.   You only have 7 days to get it right, then off you go to the real world again.   Make it work.

If you do not like free style dining why go with ncl? ?

We liked almost everything about our dining experiences. We liked their open dining, but we like dinner schedules sometimes. btw - we are not particularly young. hahaha - hate people group generalizations - age and other categories.

I don't care what ship you go on you should be able to have a great time its all what you make of your time....

Maybe you should try Celebrity. Lots of diapers and walkers when we were on the Reflection but we still managed to have a good time. It's all in what you make it!
