Review summary

The trip itself was good. The food was good, The stops were nice places but compared to other cruises that we have been on Norwegian lacks one huge thing SERVICE. I have never been on a cruise where you didn't have drinks shoved in your face every 5 minutes but I can tell you that you do not have to worry about it on Norwegian.....I am not sure if it was because we had the Ultimate Beverage Package but we have done the same on other lines and had no issue. Norwegian has eliminated the worry of signing a piece of paper when you get your drink and thus the option to give your server an additional tip! This is where the issue lies (my opinion). We had the same lack of service from our stateroom attendant......Who knows.....

Was just on ncl sky with UBP and was forced drinks by the minute! Not sure if it was because it was a smaller ship or because we were tipping a dollar or two cash every drink. ...I'll know when we go on Getaway this month what the case is!
