Review summary

this is our 12th cruise we have been on Royal and Carnival they blow norwegian out of the water when it comes to the food . it was very bland and shrimp on one night at which we were served 3 med sized shrimp.zero lobster. I really believe this is done in hopes that you will buy a specialty restaurant we did one night and it equalled what the other lines serve in their reg dining rooms. the szar dining room service was fast the azura and O sheehans was very slow.  the entertainment was 1st class room stewards and the rooms were awesome. I just cant believe they cut back the food so much.

Wow, not our experience. Fantastic food...want something, like more shrimp, just ask. Servers quick and friendly. Room was always made up sometimes three times a day. Fun evenings with the music and classy little bars. So much fun we went in November going again on the same cruise in January!

Sorry you did not enjoy it. Our first NCL trip was on the Jewel, and from there we fell in love with Norwegian. Enjoy your future cruises, no matter what line you are on!
