Had to pay additional for food and some entertainment. The specialty restaurants fill up fast so, make reservations ahead of time. I have never been on a cruise like this. Several of my co-workers were floored when they heard that. We have cruised on several other ships (Carnival and Disney) and never had a bad meal. If you like to eat mediocre food then this is the ship for you. The ship is nice and the water slides are awesome. Just like all cruises you have to get up early and snag chairs before they are all taken. Overall I wouldn't cruise on Norwegian ever again.
