Review summary

The food and crew were good this was our 25th anniversary we got the large balcony and got the up graded Wi-Fi package ( running a business had to stay in touch ) got the priority pass , drink package, picture package and the vibe beach club private area access pass. 1) We had black particles falling on us at the vibe beach club as we ate and laid in the chairs, we had the particles all over our balcony. 2 The Wi-Fi premium package was horrible it was so weak that we could not stream, text, message, email or login in to social media. 3) The priority pass did not offer any priority we had the waiting inline with everyone at all ports and final disembarking. 4) it took 2 days to get the lanyards and on the last day we got the pictures and picture frame but the frame was landscape and the picture was portrait not paired up. I tried to reach NCL but all I was told is the customer service was by email only so I emailed them with all my concerns and the short falls and sent them pictures and videos. Several days later I got an email with explanation and a sorry we did our best and you picked the wrong picture and that was all we got as a response

The balcony was long and roomy but had 1 small table and 2 chairs nothing great overpriced and there were black particles that would fall on the table, chairs and floor we could not really use or enjoy it

We were on the cruise in July. We did not have any wifi or black particle issues. Maybe those issues have been resolved. Sorry you had these issues.

I’ve heard a few others complain about ash/soot falling because of the way the stack was installed. That’s too bad. Did you find that in the Vibe or just on your balcony?

How upsetting that you pay extra for special service and don’t get it.
