This is was our 8th NCL cruise and probably the best. I don't usually do the review thing but after reading some of the ridiculous comments made on Cruise critic about this trip I felt the need to comment. Really not sure what some people are looking for in a vacation but everyone we met and spoke to had the same opinion, the price, the service, the food and the entertainment are first class. Some pathetic comments like

* We could't go near the casino because of the smell of smoke- Absolute rubbish, we walked through the casino at least three times a day and only caught a whiff of cigar smoke once. Not really a tragedy. I wish Cruise Crtic would vet some pathetic claims that are just so unworthy as information.

* The service was slow in some of the restaurants-What is the rush? we ate in Cagneys, Le Bistro, Teppanyaki, La Cucina, Manhattan, Shanghai and Taste all served superbly ( I have a restaurant so this is my profession also). We were seated, given menu's, iced water and our drinks and food orders were taken in the normal way. I suggest that some fast food clients mainly from US slow down a bit and look at how hard the wait staff are working, cut them a bit of slack and enjoy the meal instead of trying to eat at 100 miles an hour.
