I have sailed NCL often. This is the first time I was aware of a lack of staff. The waiters had no help so dinning took too long and lacked good service.

I felt like there were petty charges. Platinmun members no longer get a discount in stores. The ala carte menu prices are outrageous. Drink prices are higher than the best bars in NYC. I miss the days of all inclusive sailing.

The Manhattan dock is very convient as I use a car service and get there early. I was on board by 11:45. The later you arrive, the longer it takes to check in.
