Lots of activities but you had to pay for everything. Being a Norwegian Island it should be included with the cruise

This was my favorite ship so far. RCCL and Carnival don’t even come near the excellent food venue choices! I could go on and on, but I’ve already said this in numerous threads. NCL does not offer lobster unless you pay an up charge. I think it may be something to disappear on other lines in the near future, as cost cutting measures take hold throughout the industry. But when you think about it, how good can Lobster be when mass cooked banquet style? Better to order your lobster when dining in a fine dining venue.
