Wifi is not cheap on any cruise. We just disconnect for any cruise.

All lines charge for steam room and spa facilities. Free era is long gone.

ALL of the cruise lines run on razor-thin profit margins. They usually only net about an 8% profit on the fare you pay. If you don’t want to do extras, don’t do them.

They give away a lot so I guess they try to make it up on the back end. I actually think they're one of the better bargains. The inclusion of beverage and dining packages and shore excursion credits frees up money for me. The all inclusive fare has still been less than other lines where I am booking and then purchasing Specialty Restaurant dinners and buying drinks a la carte. The biggest thing is getting in on the right deal at the right time.

Great family trip

Was a good cruise but didn’t feel it was at mine or Norwegian standers.
