Review summary

Good holiday cruise with great ports of call. The Norwegian unlimited beverage package has limitations on the drinks you can get and NCL entertainment is a little pricey compared to other cruise lines. Embarkation was long and we had priority. The staff is knowledgeable and provided good service.

We think the included drink package is a great value. Much better than other cruise lines in our opinion.

Thanks for sharing. The unlimited drink package limitations are clearly spelled out on the website prior to booking. That's why they offer the Premium Plus package which has few, if any, limitations.
