First cruise. Overall was disappointed. It was very bumpy the entire time so not sure if it was a bad time of year to go. For the price paid the room, drinks, food, lack of free wifi, and restriction to "specialty dining" was a disappointment. Would not do a cruise again.

Food and Dining

Both food and drinks were pretty bad. Repeat of bad meals for 10 days and the one specialty place we went to was the same. Drinks, even simple ones were also bad.
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
Too windy, bumpy, and cold for pools so not enjoyable. Activities were repeated for 10 days. Bingo, deal or no deal, musicians.

Ship Quality
3 out of 5
A fee of 300 plus for staff on top of the price is a lot in my opinion. I didn't know about this fee when I booked
Cabin / Stateroom
1 out of 5
Small, crowded. Hard to upgrade after taxes and extra fees that get added
You went on a cruise in hurricane season, in the winter. Then complain and leave a low score because it was windy, bumpy, and cold. Also gave low ratings to a port because of bad weather. How dare the cruise line schedule bad weather during your cruise. That is unacceptable. /s Broadway style shows are not for you, so you gave a low rating. It is well known that NCL have Broadway style shows. This is easy to research. You obviously did very little research, if any at all. All of these are not really the cruise lines fault. The only valid complaints in this review are the bad food and drinks. Sorry those weren't up to your standards. But everything else could have been avoided with some research, cruising at a time of year with generally better weather, and choosing the appropriate cruise line for your tastes. Lesson learned for next time, if there is one.
