Worse cruise I’ve ever been on! This is my 8th cruise 1st one with Norwegian and will not be returning. With just under 4,000 ppl aboard you have to sign up for most shows, lazar tag n most other activities. Filled up

Thanks for the feedback. I was on the same on 12th floor and 2nd time with NCL. I agree most of the dining and shows are booked a week before departure. I had no problems reserving footloose and element shows. Had to wait a bit on the slide ride. It does need more than 1 adult swimming pool. Overall it was a great experience.

Appreciate your feedback. We try to book flights noon or later, because of possible delays at debarkation. Sorry you were so disappointed.

Cruising during spring break is usually overcrowded and rarely a good experience.

Poor dinning service each sit down meal took up to 3 hours and it was the worst disembarkment ever they called one zone after an other didn’t event let one zone clear before the next was called and called another hours before we got off the ship.

Not very happy!

Never again
