We've cruised on other Cruises and this was our first Norwegian Cruise.
We only had the option to dine in one dining room and then the upstairs buffet as they had a large group in the one dining room. The food was tasteless and the deserts were terrible. There was just no atmosphere at all.
We aren't big drinkers but did buy the occasional drink - $10 each plus 18% gratuity, even though you are charged a mandatory gratuity daily.
