Worst beach ever…run down when our paid tour arrived there was no chairs as promised had to pay someone to get an umbrella with chairs….water was very dangerous….I was fearful of going in and not being able to get out…..most women needed 2 to 3 men to get out of the water…toilets were dirty and no toilet paper…bar was extremely run down…

I totally agree I loved Ncl. I have taken many with them. I’m schedule to go 1/2/24 but I really don’t know what to expect. All I see is negative reviews what happned to this top cruise company. To me they are struggling with money and cutting everything and nickle and dime you for even more then usual. I’m trying to speak to guest services about my future cruise only to be on hold 30 mins then hung up on. I hate to say this but Ncl is a dumpster fire

Cruising isn’t what it used to be. Norwegian seems to be struggling more than most recently.
