Review summary

My wife, 2 children and I took your cruise on the above dates.

The cleanness was good and food service was wonderful.  However, The entertainment was questionable for the following reasons;

1. As I understand the ship did not have a DJ until arrival to island of ST, Martenee and in the Bliss lounge, they had an Ipod playing random music furthermore, this was a Caribbean trip on the entire trip they provided 80 minutes or less of Spanish music even thus they had a reggae band.  The cruise had a lot of Spanish speaking people.  My wife and I found it frustrating, we were expecting something totally different.

2. The first day, I was personally offended by a bartender in which I had to called his supervisor and I waited for over 45 minutes to see him. He proceeded to make excuses of his subordinate behavior which truly irritated me and I walked away.    I witnessed at least three other similar incidents.

 

I recommend employee receive training in customer service 101.

Norwegian will never see this post. This site is for people talking, and asking questions about cruises. This is a public site, and highly suggest you take your personal info down.

I like country music and you get about 90 minutes of that all week ... They have a wide variety of people to accommodate and I think they do a good job of that ... Same with the food ... They have many people/cultures to try to accommodate and again they try to do just that ... You can't expect Spanish music all week nor could I expect country all week ...
