Review summary
I have been on 3 cruises prior and loved the food. First time on Norwegian, on my honeynoon, and it was disappointing to say the least. Buffet was equal to bad cafeteria food, scrambled eggs consistency of loose oatmeal, they put muenster cheese and tomato on top of raisin bread and signed it as tomato, mozzarella on a baguette. Steak order medium-rare came out well done and like leather. Cake were very dense. Their "american bar" which is like Applebee's can't make artichoke dip, they used a cream sauce as the base; tasted like cream only. List goes on. Service was spotty, sometimes would be served promptly other times your waiting 10-15 min for water. Photo was the worst service, they disregard you and make excuses as to why they can't help when they can very easily once management is part of the equation.
