Review summary

The reason this review is getting 2 stars instead of one is because the cruise itself was great.  The staff, food, experience was awesome.  With that being said,  KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR MONEY!  This cruise has a way of screwing you out of a deposit if you pay with a debit card with no refund what so ever.  Not only that but I was supposed to receive 50 dollars onboard credit which I never received with no refund of that either.  The experience as I said was great, but because they decided to mess with my money, I will never be sailing with Norwegian again.

WAY to many hagglers. Spent only 3 hours on the island due to this.

Happy to hear that although you had some money issues with NCL you did enjoy your cruise.

Glad you had a good cruise, sorry to hear about the money issue with Norwiegin.  I am platinum on NCL. I have not sailed with NCL lately but sadly I am not hearing good things. I will see for myself in July.

on the islands we always research before we take the cruise and have things we specifically want to see.  with an agenda, the hagglers/shopping are not an issue.
