Review summary

We had done many Cruises no the past, we never experience nothing like this once. Service on all the restaurants and bars was horrible,  we will wait for the waitress and the waiters for 14 minutes before we could order any food or drinks at the tables. Once the bartenders knew you had the unlimited drink package they will pay no attention to you. The reservation system for the dinners and shows was very inconvenient . The swimming pools and Jacuzzi's were constantly overcrowded. Sometimes the shows will say sold out, but when you got there was a lot of empty seats. The staff look lost all the time. However the ship was on excellent condition, really nice. I don't see myself going back to a Norwegian cruise, for the amount of money my wife and I paid we wouldn't have a way better service and experience on another cruise line..

No worries jallaway if you want crazy loyalists getting riled up over negative feedback go to a Royal Caribbean page! Lol You should see how those "Loyal to Royal" people get fired up! :)

Unfortunately, you focused on all the negative and lost 7 days.  So sorry to read this.  One bad experience and I put it on paper forthwith to the hotel manager.  They want to help, even if it's just a sorry note and a fruit basket.  At least you made an attempt to notify the right people, then you can refocus and get back to your vacation.  I have been on a ship or two that  made me say what am I doing here, but once I recognize  this attitude I refocus and search out the positive, you only have 7 days to do it.

We just got.off the ship the 11th of September , we had the drinking pkg and we were always waited on , some of the bars even knew our drinks and had them ready , Rodney at bar 21 , makes the best drinks , he was our bartender on our last cruise and he still knew us . I myself love Norwegian cruise lines.

You better watch it! Now you're gonna rile up all the Norwegians and they will turn from the normal jovial and friendly dispositions and place posts full of bile and acrimony.
