one of the staff told to go to the Manhattan room, and it turns out it was not the right place to be. we did not go to that excursion we had purchased. that was our first time there, and we did not go visit. we were looking forward to Monaco, ,no NCL staffs for guidance, no one to give instruction. we do not know if we will get that money back.

Norwegian Cruise line does not have any forms due to its freestyle and you could dress up or not. So don't worry about that. You can always dress up if you want to. Formal night is not like it used to be on any other cruise line, especially Carnival oil and other ones that you don't have to dress up very out of the minds or to the nines. Even with Princess I've been, you know it's very relaxed and you just dress nice. Other ones like fighting and seabourn and whatever yeah you're more exclusive

So a crew member told you to go to a certain place and once you got there, you didn't bother to double check you are in the right place, cause I always do, especially if it it's printed on excursion ticket and I'm told to go some place else.

Thanks for your review. Sorry you had trouble with the excursion in Cannes. We plan on just walking around the port area.
