Hey everyone we are bill and melody of daytona beach fl,we are considered newly weds we married in vegas a year ago .but life was busy lasy year so we didnt get a chance to do a honeymoon so we booked this cruise to make up for it,With high hopes of fun and adventure ,Man were we let down,if anything i would call this the snooze cruise.Now to be fair i will say most of the crew were great and nice to talk with and our cabin was nice but thats as far as it goes,if you go on a cruise for hamburgers and greasy hot dogs everyday then this is the place for you,this is no exaggeration for 7 days on the main deck they served hamburgers and hot dogs with potatoe salad and other side stuff.at night we usually ate in one of the nice restaurants thats included with the trip ,there are 2 of them both very nice but the portions they serve were incredibly small our first night i ordered the red snapper and lobster tail,thats the only night i personally seen anything resembling lobster anyway my meal arrived i looked at it in disbeleif weres the rest of it,the red snapper was microscopic to say the leastmy little cell phone was bigger,my pack of ciggarettes was way bigger and the lobster tail was cut in half long ways so i got half a lobster tail i immediately told the waiter to bring me another one,the same happened several nights later i ordered the orleans shrimp and what they called skirt steak mignon ,that was a joke when it came ,again i looked in wonder, it came with 3 shrimp they were placed on top of the steak and totally covered the steak it was so small.again i ordered another one,the food had a lot to be desired.

THE CASINO lol having played in casinos all over the states vegas,reno,tampa and 30 more scattered around i know a bit about them ,i have never seen one as tight as this place the slots will eat you alive not one time all week did we ever hear the bells go off signalling someone hit a jack pot and seeing as there was nothing else to do we were in the casino every evening and alot during the day,it was common to put a hundred dollar bill in a penny machine and it take the whole thing without hitting anything,I myself am a avid roulette played usually playing 5 dollar chips and was dropping 650 to a grand a day which is not normal ,it took me a little bit to figure out why i was losing so much,heres the secrete unlike any casino in the united states there rules are (after every spin of the wheel the dealer physically changes the direction of the wheel,which puts the odds way in the houses favor,the wheels should only go in one direction and not touched,total rip off also the minimum bet one the roulette table as with most of the table games is 10 dollars,which is high even by vegas standards except for the last nite of the cruise where they lower they chip value to a dollar so you get twice as many chips for your hundred dollars,

ENTERTAINMENT another low area if you like juggling our a song and dance review from the norwegian production cast then you will love if ,we didnt and the only night club on the ship called dazzles was another lame place we went in there one night after hearing the tecno dance music banging up thru the casino like it was there with us,(there on different decks) when we got there there was 2 people on the dance floor and 9 people sitting at the tables,it may have gotten busy on a different night but we didnt see it,
