Review summary

 I HAD HEARD THAT NORWEGIAN WAS FAR MORE SUPERIOR THAN OTHER CRUIS LINES BUT I WASN'T IMPRESSED WITH OUR CRUISE. FIRST OFF, OUR BALCONY STATEROOM WAS SMALLER THAN THE ONE ON CARNIVAL LIBERTY. 2ND, THE FOOD WASN'T ALL THAT... BREAKFAST WAS REALLY THE ONLY ENJOYABLE MEAL SINCE THEY DID HAVE BACON AND EGGS. 3RD, THE SHIP SWAYED AND ROCKED THE FIRST 2 DAYS AND THE LAST DAY OF OUR CRUISE. (NOT NORGEGIAN FAULT, BUT IT DID AFFECT OUR EXPERIENCE) 4TH, THE TENDERS TO GREAT STIRRUP CAY...... OH MAN, A TERRIBLE STORM CAME UP WHILE WE WERE CHARTERING BACK TO THE SHIP, THE TENDER WAS ROCKING LIKE CRAZY, PEOPLE BEGAN TO PANIC. IT WAS THUNDERING, LIGHTENING, THE WIND WAS BLOWING AND THE SEAS WERE ROUGH. IT WAS SO BAD THAT THE CROSSWALK FROM THE TENDER TO THE SPIRIT SHIP WAS JUMPING AND BOUNCING THAT IT STRUCK MY WIFES FOOT AND CUT HER TOE. SHE SPENT OVER AN HOUR IN THE SHIPS MEDICAL CENTER GETIING CLEANED UP AND XRAYS. OUR CRUISING EXPERIENCE WAS JUST NOT WHAT WE HAD ANTICIPATED. WE WILL PROBABLY SPEND OUR VACATION MONEY DIFFERENTLY IN THE FUTURE.

I hope you do choose a different cruise line because I don't want to be on a ship with a whiner like you. By the way why are you blaming Norwegian for the weather?

I will not hear a bad word about NCL. Every cruise we have done with them has been brilliant.I could nit pick every holiday I have ever taken...but you know what...I don't have to cook, clean or work...just be waited on, have my lovely food brought to my table, people around me catering to my requests...what is there not to enjoy. As for the weather...oh my god...that is definitely not NCL's fault. Get a life

Complainer! Anyone tell you not to use all Caps! No one cares to read that stuff! Good luck with another cruise liner, it's all the same wherever you go. Oh, didn't you know Liberty is a bigger ship. I've been on it too.
