Review summary

Our first time with Norwegian Cruise lines was not impressed.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
NCL Cruise documents don’t show that you have boarding priority as I was told I told the agent I was told we had priority boarding she looked at my documents and said first time cruiser no priority get in that long line. They sent me the documents as well as the luggage tags how hard would it be for them to have some kind of notation regarding priority boarding.

Did the coast tour Tillamook was a great tour but not exactly what the description led us to believe. Lunch with Origen wine tasting was actually sack lunch with a bottle of water at the blimp hanger. Our tour guide was fantastic she really knows the area and history. I wish I had recorded her
