Review summary

I have been on ten other cruises on RC and believe that Norwegian is much better. Love the relaxed dinning and the different bars they have. Food we good but not great and not loving the extra pay on many other dinning places. The rope climbing seem like a waste of space and may be something else would be better ? The staff was the best of any past cruise we have been on. Pool could be bigger and set up better, but it is on a ship and limited to what can be done ? Had the so called drink package but it ended up costing more then it should. RC didn't nickel and dime you like this one did.

Cabin / Stateroom

Room was with a picture window and a family room. So it was the biggest we have ever had. Perfect to spend time in.

Ship tip

The Muster drill was out of control and needs to be fixed.

What did you end up having to pay extra for your alcohol package if you already paid for it?

From your comments, I don't see how you liked better than Royal. We only cruise with Royal Caribbean, never had a bad cruise.
