Personally I do not like the housekeeping interruptions. We keep our cabin clean by cleaning as need and keeping things stored away.

The Prima has its quicks, but you seem to have unreasonable expectations. Yes, NCL only does housekeeping once a day now, but so does every hotel I’ve ever been to. That’s all you need. The MDR does also have the same menu nightly, but it’s the biggest menu I’ve also seen on a cruise ship. I had no problem finding something every night. I prefer it over the rotating menus which often don’t have anything I want and the repeat selections aren’t very good.

Sorry you didnt enjoy. We've been on 10 cruises with only one on Norwegian. It was in 2014 on the Getaway. We did enjoy but the ship was brand new and they gave lots of perks. 3 meals in the specialty restaurant. We used 2 and they were very good along with the MDR. I did hear before we went and many times after that Norwegian had many complaints. Even though we had a great time if we are able to go on another cruise we probably won't choose Norwegian.
