Review summary

The ship was beautiful, the staff was good, the shows were great. The food was BELOW standard from what I have typically received on 5 other cruise lines. Various restaurant menu selections were very limited. The buffet was not worth the elevator ride. The Cagney Steak House $75.00 (for 2) was good. The Seafood restaurant was only fair, 2 shrimp dinners $77.00. Very little directions or instructions through out the ship about various activities, events or debarkations, too many inconsistancys to mention. I had the drink package and I had to sign for EVERY drink, how stupid is that. Lastly, I left my cell phone charging in the stateroom when we left the ship, I checked with lost and found and I was just told it was never found, That says something about staff honesty. Will not sail NCL again...

It's really funny to me how so many people will say their cruise was ruined because they didn't enjoy the food. Have never been on NCL but will try someday. Food on a cruise is not 5 star unless you go on a luxury cruise. The 2 we have been on the food was excellent from buffet to dining room. But we also are not nitpicky

your sail & sign card controls the outlets in your room so how could u have left your phone charging? did u leave your card in the slot? and how did u get off the ship without your sail & sign card? I'm just curious.. which other ships did u cruise on because I find that Norwegian have the best food.. I loved it!

Sorry you had such a disappointing experience. Some folks just need more hand holding and some are just needie. What ever your lot in life, it's always good to find out where you fit in and where you don't. Hope you have better cruise experiences on your future voyages...on those 5 other cruise lines...😊
