Review summary

We really enjoyed the cruise and would easily consider NCL again. However, Just as menus are required to show calories, I believe cruise lines should have disclosures prior to booking. For one, the percentage of pre-adolescent children. We did NOT expect so many unruly children on board. Secondly, we would have liked to know about "politically-incorrect or socially sensitive" groups being on board. Just as there are those that would object to a "Trump Supporters" group on board, some of us disagree with the LGBTQXYZ life choice. In large part, I did not care, but it did interfere with my choices of venue and entertainment. I know, you think I am intolerant.... but I also have rights, and that includes it not being flaunted in the face of my beliefs.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

It was efficient, a bit slow, but that was the nature of a quick turnaround. BUT it was overall, easy and crew and passenger registration personnel were all pleasant and helpful

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The revue was VERY good! The Violin/Cello duet were excellent, and the melodic Trio were great!. However we never really got to see the Pink Elephant band because the one time they were performing in the Spinnaker daily, was adjacent to the "LGBTQXYZ" meeting and I has zero interest in being there.

A little small, an extra 10 sf would make a difference.

Don't you dare say anything negative about this "group" or you will be villified, marginalized, criticized, and otherwise looked down upon- Oops, too late!

What's wrong with a "Trump Supporters" group?

You seem to be confused, little snowflake. Did you need a safe space? Get over yourself - your beliefs do not trump anyone else's rights.

Maybe they need to book their sorry ass selves on a more expensive smaller older crowd river cruise. But the LBGTQ folks take those also! Stay home you homophobic snob!

Also, I did NCL, my only one so far by the way. And if you go to my reviews; I LOVED IT!!! Didn't know it was a Gay cruise and it has been one of my favorite, sad it was only 2 days cruise. This person should've check FIRST and verify from now on what kind of cruise they're purchasing.

Btw, it has nothing to do with Trump, it's called equal rights...

"Xyz"... you sound like a snobby, intolerant, ignorant person. Sorry, gay people & children have just as much right to cruise as you. Smh.
