Review summary

Mediocre at best. This will be for sure my last cruise on Norwegian Cruise Line. You would think on a cruise of this length there would be some variety to the menus. NOT. Ship was clean and tidy even though 20 or so passengers had the dreaded virus forcing the ship to change many of its services.

The evening entertainment was reasonable with a few terrible shows thrown in for dumbing down.

I love to play blackjack and the "dealing" machines seemed way to favorable to the house and I feel along with several of my other players that the six deck dealt that the dealers had the cards stacked in the ships favour. When we asked for new decks and to see all of the cards we were denied. My guess is that there were the proper number of cards but many of the "10's" were missing forcing the deck to the houses favor. My recommendation is to stay clear of these tables!!!

I will continue cruising but on other liners such as Windstar and Crystal.
