Review summary

Freestyle cruising seems to be a euphamism for charge as you go. I have been on several cruises before and would not including four Norwegian cruises. I will never do Norwegian again. The extra charges everytime you turn around, exorbitant prices for drinks - they should give the cruise away for what they charged for the extras. Also I didn't like the automatic gratuity. The service was lousy but there was no incentive to provide good service given the tip was automatic.
