We decided that this type of cruising is not for us . Too many people .. too many lines waiting for help at the front desk ... lines waiting for help with the internet , lines waiting for help with e-visas... lines , lines , lines . Never again !

Ship tip
Check what visas are necessary , and then decide .
Went to the underground river which was fabulous . We paid over $ 600 [ for 2 with tip ]and later learned that peole who had cruised before paid $ 100 [ for 2 ] ... Norwegian charged 6 times the amount ! Shameful !
We did a back-to-back cruise and Manila was the turn-around port . Embarkation and disembarkation were HORRIBLE ... the line was so long all day that we did not disembark as planned . We were even advised to stay on board by a high-ranking worker .. later we discovered that it was the first time at that port ... and things did not go as planned . So we completely missed one of the places we had planned to visit .
