Review summary

I think we are done with Norwegian do to the food and hardly no karaoke.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Not real clear on your process. Maybe it should have been on a tv channel.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

I thought the food was average. It felt like a lot of corners have been cut in the food area. I hated the sauce that you put on the beef. It tasted like lunchroom food. I also hate the deserts that look like cheese cake but are really jello.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Hardly any karaoke, that is one of our favorite things to do.

Entertainment

Maybe do a bit of research on the ship before booking. Each ship has different options to suit different people. Some people love what the next person hates!!

Was this your first cruise? A little research goes a long way. I don't mean that to be unkind but I think that most of your complaints are ill informed and would hate to see people missing out on a great experience because of it. You can make your cruise experience whatever you want it to be and finding how to make that happen doesn't take much with all of the information available these days.

The fact that you think any port, except Harvest Caye, is double dipping leads me to believe you have no idea what you’re talking about. And what is so hard about debarkation? Do some research. Ask questions.

It sounds like cruising is probably not for you. You didn’t seem to enjoy much of anything. I have no idea what you’re talking about double dipping in the ports. Coxen Hole and Costa Maya are not ports owned by NCL. Not sure what was confusing about the debarkation, But the best option is to just take your own luggage. That way you will be one of the first off the ship, not be searching for your luggage on shore and are usually one of the first groups through customs.

Ship has lots of activities and the itinerary is fabulous. One thing I don’t like about NCL is the constant extra cost of things, It does feel a bit like you are being nickel and dimed. We choose NCL because of the number of activities for kids

Amazing First Cruise

Meh...
