Review summary
Every aspect of the ship's day had an added price tag including bingo ($45) and soft drinks ($42 for the week). These add-ons were excessive considering that 15% tip was also included in every transaction as well as $10 per day added on for gratuities. Before every show, the social staff came around with raffle tickets. NCL must be in bad financial shape.One had the feeling of constantly being "nickle and dimed'. An average bill for these extras easily ran into $500 or more not including ground excursions. Figure twice the price of the cruise with these hidden costs.Ship experiences
