Chose this cruise because of the excursion locations but one trip we went on took over 90 minutes to get there and 90 minutes back. We only got to float the "River" looked man made to me and eat lunch, then had to leave to get back to the ship so we didn't get to enjoy 90% of the other activities we viewed on the selling brochure.

The disembarkation was the most unorganized thing I've ever seen. On every other cruise I've been on, the groups getting off were given colored tags. Then they were told to go to the largest dining area and told to stay there until they were told to start to line up to get off. On this ship by 11 am. the 6th floor, the deck to get off on was so packed you couldn't,t move. I know the Captain will blame this on an emergency situation which we had the day before but I say this emergency called for even more intelligent directions.

My wife bought a beverage package but if you wanted a coke or special coffee item you had to pay for it. I know NCL will say we should have read the info better but I guess we figured if you wanted a dollar coke instead of a drink valued at $14.95 it wouldn't be a problem. This cruise line will nickel and dime you to death. Read more
