Review summary

We were disappointed with this cruise line. We booked a balcony room on the 10th floor and we're excited about the on inclusive deal. But the food and service was nothing to write home about. I would have rather opted to pay for the alcohol but have a better food selection. It was hamburgers, hot dogs and pizza for lunch every day. Not much variety. Also we didn't go out on the balcony because our side of the ship was never cleaned. There were chips of paint and dirt on the balcony. It hadn't been cleaned for weeks. Lastly I never saw the cleaning person for our room. Usually they introduce themselves, leave a message on the bed welcoming you etc. never saw the person. Did not enjoy this cruise line at all. Will stick to Princess lines where I know I will always get amazing food and service for a little more money, but well worth it!

Small rooms. Dirty balcony. paid for something nice but never went out to the balcony. It was filthy dirty. Very disappointed.

Ship tip

Will not recommend this ship tour friends. It was cheap in food selections unless you like hamburgers and hotdogs every day. Alcoholic drinks were good and they didn't skimp on these. Everything else was disappointing. Wouldhaverather paid for my alcohol and get better food, service and entertainmet

I am sorry you did not enjoy your cruise on NCL. I do find it hard to believe that the whole experience was bad. You must of had some things on the trip that were to you liking. Everyone seems to find a preferred cruise line eventually, It is a highly personal choice. What bothers you might not be a big deal for someone else.
