Review summary
I'm not a fan of cruises and here's why. Once I spend 4k on a vacation, I expect everything to be included. There were about 11 restaurants on this ship of which FOUR were included in the price! Come on guys! My first round of drinks, (a total of 3) came out to $36. Highway robbery. Our stop in Belize was not a stop in Belize, it was a stop on a island run by NCL where we spent even MORE money with NCL instead of giving the locals of the island some business. The ONLY reason I did not object to the $400 gratuity at the end was because my children, ages 3 and 8 thoroughly enjoyed the kids club. The counselors did an excellent job of caring for them and I did not want to jip them of a tip for their hard work. Also my room attendant was excellent and attentive of which I personally gave her an additional tip. We will not be cruising with Norwegian again!
