The shows . The swimming pool and jacuzzi too small. Yes I would recommend this cruise to other people.

The only problem I had was toilet issues . 3- three floods in the bathroom. Which did not make it a fun or enjoyable cruise when water is all over the place n floor.

Ship tip

Drinks are too expensive n food.

If you're going to drink around 7 drinks a day buy the drink package, or as many cruisers on NCL do, make sure you get it free with your room reservation. They charge 18% gratuity, but that's common everywhere.

I also found ncl gives more perks...they are offering now pick two....one is drink package...which is great....I understand there is a small fee they charge now but still well worth it.....carnival sunshine for 8 days cost two people 800.00 for liquor package...totally not worth it...and both adults in room have to purchase package

Ultimate Drink Package chosen as my freebie only way to go and enjoy and not worry about a huge drink bill at the end

That's why people usually go for the drink package. And not more expensive than any other cruise lines! Found Norwegian gives more perks than others.
