Review summary

While enjoying different options of food that were awesome there were many things that were a deal breaker that lead me to the conclusion of never sailing with Norwegian Cruise line again. First I feel when you purchase The Ultimate Drink package they should supply  you with a cup to refill your soda or juice but this did not happen.You have to order it from a bar by the cup or have the soda package (to recieve the refillable cup)which is crazy to me because I thought ultimate meant all even though I was able to order soda from the bar this was a big inconvenience especially when it's late. Another thing that bothered me was their Room Service policy it was $7.95 per order at any time not just late nights which is ridiculous. The hospitality was not the best I expect to be greeted with smiles and hellos by any crew members that I come in contact with or passing this was not the case especially in the specialty restaurants and some complementary restaurants (like taste and savor)never O'shenagans service there was awesome all the time. And last but not least I purchased a room with a balcony because of the beautiful views and I am also a smoker when we were informed that we can't smoke on the balcony just designated glass boxes on the decks by the kids swimming area or top decks like the 16th this also was disappointing and a Big Inconvenience.

That's what happens when you don't do any research and just find fault afterwards.

You missed out on the sunset bar on deck 8 then, smoking bar and two of the best bartenders on the ship

Do some research before you make a reservation, problems all solved

If the poster was worried about the smoking, then just go to ecigs. Use them in rooms and everywhere never had a problem

I must say I feel the same about not having a soda cup with drink package as you do on RCL & a charge for room service no matter the time is a bit harsh. Far as the smoking rule all I can say is Safety first!!

I've been on 31 NCL cruises. Never met a cruise member that didn't smile or say hello. Always an awesome cruise experience. All cruise ships should be nonsmoking.

All this could have been figured out with simple research. This is a ship that holds lots of guest as well.

Haha... What about the rest of us none smokers. You mean we have to suffer at your inconvenience? Makes sense to me. NOT.

It's a fire hazard and other people don't like smoke blowing in their rooms.
