Review summary

Overall we had a good time on this cruise.   The crew members were fun and very accommodating for the most part. The room and balcony were extremely small - hardly enough room for clothing.  Our Dining Room experiences were disappointing; very poor service. NCL wants people to use the pay dining room rather than the Dining Room available for no fee.  We felt like we were being nickleld and dimed to death. . .even the evening shows cost $39.00/person. 
Since we did not pay for the "Havens" we were treated as 2nd class citizens.  The pool was very small and crowded, there was no place to sit.  People hoarded pool chairs and did not sit in them for the entire day keeping others form enjoying the area.  We never laid eyes on the Cruise Director.

Yes, not many extra chairs. The show was well worth it. The food in there was good also.

klcarr, why do you just go from review to review discounting people's personal opinions? Do you have some sort of vested interest in NCL?

That's true about the chairs.

There's only one show with a charge, Illusionarium, which includes dinner. You should have been able to see Burn the Floor for free, although depending on when your cruise was they may have been transitioning between Legally Blonde and Million Dollar Quartet (both are free production shows).

I haven't been on a cruise ship yet where people didn't hoard pool chairs!! We were on he getaway in March/April and had amazing service and an amazing time
