Review summary

I've cruised 7 times 5 with Norwegian since early 2000, things that used to be included for free arer now being charged for. The fact that you have to prepare pay tips on things that are supposed to have been "freebies" kinda burns me. I don't mind tipping but I don't like tipping people who didn't do anything for me personally.  Cabin stuard,  fine, but when you give me an unlimited beverage package and then charge me it really wasn't free was it? I feel like I was nickel and dimed to death, when you get the bill at the end it almost makes you not enjoy yourself. I wish they would just include ever in the price of the cruise from the start so you don't get sticker shock at the end of your vacation.

I've done the dinner package on the Getaway when it was brand new. Everyone in the room (4 people ) got a specialty dinner for all 7 nights of the cruise. The only exception was Ocean Blue. Just a $35 EXTRA CHARGE. Now the program is just for the two adults and not for 7 days just 3-4 dinners on a 7 day cruise. Glad I took advantage of it when NCL was being crazy generous.

I don't know how they charge you a service fee for their pick one FREE. FREE drinks. FREE dining package. You see the added service charge on your price per person when you pick your FREE CHOICE. NOT FREE. choose the free gratuity and they don't add a service charge. !!! I wish they were all inclusive but then I'd be paying for they EXTRAS I don't use. Grrrrr
