HeavySeas says, "Thanks for sharing your cruise experience." Probably didn't even read your review. Canned comment. Sorry you had a bad experience. Hope you have better luck on your next cruise.

Having cruised many times, I would strongly suggest a different cruise line. Trust me, you’ll be much better off.

What are you talking about?. No where do you have to pay to get off the ship, EVERYONE knows that NCL isn’t all inclusive, and the buffets change daily with the exception of breakfast. And I spent a month in Rome and didn’t get to see everything, sounds like your expectations are completely unreasonable…
