Sail Date: Feb 2008

Just back in town from our Free Style Cruise, Norwegian style. And, like so many others on the ship, it was for the birds. My recommendation is for NCL to dump Free Style Cruising overboard. Here's why..

1. You MUST make reservations in the morning for one of their half dozen "free" restaurants or you risk dining at 5 or 10 P.M., waiting on a long line and given a beeper ala The Olive Garden, or relegated to a restaurant you have no interest in.

2. The service is spotty at best. You NEVER see the same waiter twice. So he doesn't know you and you don't know him. And he or she cares little for your needs.
