I have to laugh. "Pool too salty" I guess he figures NCL makes their own salt water. I can just envision the employee shaking salt out of a Morton salt container into the pool. "Pool too small to accomdate 4000 people" That would be one huuuuuge pool.

This level of unhappiness can't be fixed by any cruise line

some people aren't happy if they can't complain. anyone who complains about the amount of salt in sea water is just looking to be unhappy with something.

my mom and dad went on RC and said the food had no seasoning and wasn't good. That was a long time ago. Maybe it's better now. I loved the food on Norwegian.

Well. Compared to RC mini Suites they are small. But as you stated. Read up on sq footage and such and you will know this.

Btw. Fine with us NCL lovers if you never cruise with them. Cause it means less people complaining about everything and anything and more fun for us.

The pool was too salty? Really? And the ports of call were a joke? Did you look at anything regarding your cruise before booking it ? You chose the ship, you knew what ports were being visited. YOUR FAULT, not NCL.

What part of mini did you not understand? The floorplan and square footage are all available, so you should have known what you were getting BEFORE YOU SAILED! You chose that room. You can't fault the cruise line for your room choice.

Well once again a person not doing their home work! You got a mini suite , not a suite! Which means the only difference in a balcony cabin is the bathroom is larger. NCL suites are in the Heaven , if you want to travel in a suite.
