We have taken this same cruise 1 1/2 yrs ago, so we knew what to expect. Boy were we wrong. Since the "upgrade" there is nothing to do on it. Activities boring, bingo and trivia, where's some imagination. Shows(except for the Man in the Moon and Ten Yun) were repeats (I knew the comedians entire act. Change your shows. Even the food has gone down hill.
I was surprised that parents let their children in the hot-tub for hours. One child was snorkeling, while his mother sat there. Not one Norwegian staff member came and explained the rules (clearly posted ) to the parents and children. I was in shock when I saw a mother tell her 7-8 yr old to wait in the hot tub because she was going to the show. WHATTT!!!
The last show there were two boys 10-12 yrs "alone" screaming, hanging over the balconys, shaking some light thing, thru the whole show. Even the singer kept making signals about it but no persons came. Finally a woman got up and told them to sit down and behave or leave (not their parent) No child should be allowed into the show without an adult.
LIMITED EXCUSIONS AND WE ONLY WERE THERE FOR SHORT PERIOD
