Review summary

Favorite: Getting off the boat.

Improvement: Customer Service

Recommendation:  Pick a different Cruise Line 

We both have medical conditions that dictate caffeine free, sugar free beverages.  The only soda available caffeine free on the boat is a no name lemon-lime all the other sugar free pop had caffeine.  We brought our own so we wouldn't have to drink water for the entire cruise.  BTW ice tea has caffeine and lemonade is loaded with sugar.

 

We found a form letter at our door after dinner, "report to customer service so that they could confiscate the contraband in our LOCKED suitcases.  After we reported to CS and discussions with 3 staff members we were told to leave the contraband for further review.  About 10pm there was a knock on our door and the sodas were returned without comment. 

 

Great way to start a cruise.  We are 3 points from platinum and I'm not sure we will attain that status.  

 

NCL service has been on a steady decline for the last year.

Sounds like you need a new cruise line.  Drink water you will be healthier and happier for it.   Try infused water next time.

Did they open your suitcases, or was the liquid seen on a scan of the luggage?

That's what I was told. Water for baby formula or any medical purposes is to be told to the cruise line in advance and they will make necessary arrangements

I am a diabetic and asked if I could bring diet soda and sugar free juice onboard BEFORE the cruise and was allowed.

Did you tell them prior to boarding that the soad was in there?
