Sail Date: Nov 2008

I should have known things would not go right when NCL refused to send me any information before the cruise because I had not booked through them.

The food that we didn't pay extra for was mediocre, at best. One meal we paid $30 extra for, was not worth it. The servings were very small, and the food wasn't that good.

The day we boarded the ship, we called for dinner reservations for Thanksgiving, but were told that we could not make reservations until 48 hours before the date. So the first thing Tuesday morning, we went down to the reservations desk, and the only time they had left was 8:30. When we asked how that was possible, we were told that someone had given us the wrong information. Knowing that it took a minimum of 1 1/2 hours to get a meal served, we decided that finishing up at 10:00 was too late. So for Thanksgiving, I had chicken wings and my husband had a hot dog. When we talked to people who had the Thanksgiving "feast", it seems we got the better of the deal.
