Review summary
The cruise was nothing like any I have ever been on before. It was nowhere near as nice as cruises I have taken with other cruise lines. did a fabulous job of getting us a great price and answering all of our questions - they were wonderful. But Norwegian Cruise Line did not meet my expectations. Staff was nice, shows/entertainment was fine - although not as great as other cruise lines, and the ports planned were great. On the negative side, the food was horrible. We rarely left a meal full or satisfied, with the exception of paying a surcharge per person at an onboard restaurant. See, in order to get a good meal, you have to pay extra - above and beyond the thousands you have already put into this trip. That, in my opinion, is not acceptable. The food that did not cost extra was served cafeteria style... and the restaurants where you could sit and not pay a surcharge for a meal, just served the same food that the cafeteria style areas did. My husband and I will probably never cruise with NCL again...Ship experiences
