I've been on many cruises...sailed on Royal Caribbean (multiple times), Princess (multiple times), Carnival (multiple times), Celebrity. This is my first on NCL. This has been my least favorite. In fact, I intend to make it a point to NEVER sail on NCL again. Why? Frankly....there's a list of reasons. Among them: a) This has been one of the most disorganized cruises I've ever experienced; b) the crew seemed to have no idea how to manage the guests; c) I traveled with a group and many of us felt we were an inconvenience to the working staff based on facial expressions, lack of service, etc; d) set up and the size of the stateroom were the worse I remember ever experiencing; e) casino set up was among the least comfortable I've seen on any cruise...need I go on? Frankly, I was surprised. I expected better from NCL. I certainly expected it to exceed what I've experienced on Carnival as my perception was that NCL was a step above. I was wrong. Given a choice, I'd choose Carnival next time if I was looking for an inexpensive cruise. One positive note: Our cabin was clean, our cabin attendant efficient. However, another close by was sick w a cold, and many in our party developed colds. Coincidence? I think not.
