Review summary

Royal, Carnival the best. NCL made their mistake by tips included so no one working feels like they have to prove anything to you. Watch out what drink package you purchase the one included does not offer bottle water. you either pay $3.00 per bottle or drink tap water. Talk about them Nickel and dimeing you.

Sorry you were not pleased. With many cruiselines to choose from, so everyone can find the cruiseline that best fits their needs and budget. We like Ncl because of the flexible, included dining options and drink package. We like Celebrity because they offer some overnight stays.

I do agree with the up charges though! It does seem like they are trying to nickel and dime you every chance they get. I was up charged four dollars for the espresso in an espresso martini 🤣🤣

I have been on several NCL cruises and never had to pay for bottled water with the drink package. Is this something new they started in 2024?
