We had left a previous on board credit which was expiring so we went on this cruise. This was our 59 cruise so we are experienced cruisers. Celebrity Princess Royal Caribbean and NCL. Norwegian Cruise Line is anything but free at sea. First they push the Drink Package and the Specialty Dining Packages. Let me tell you about the Drink Package. Every bar was under staffed the lines to get a drink we’re long and sometimes 20 minutes. In the Specialty Dining which you paid a premium for you were limited to one appetizers, one entree and one dessert. Never on the other above mentioned Cruise lines. Now remember in the main dining room you can order 2 or 3 appetizers such as Lime and Dill Shrimp, Pekín Duck plus soup, plus salad, So remember you paid in your cruise price dinner and you just paid more for dinner in the Specialty restaurants. Don’t get sucked into the drink and dinning Packages. The main dining rooms as well as the other free dining option where good if not better. Osheehan's and the Orchid Garden no up charge was good Moderno's and Cagney's was wonderful although you pay extra. We had an OBC of $185.00 and this was the first time we couldn’t use it for gratitudes we didn’t like that the ship only had one main corridor on the right side of the ship to go from the front to the back so it was always crowded. There were no pool staff or any safety officers at the pool and glass beer bottles where in the hot tubs and on the pool railing. SAFTY CONCERN. Will not ever be back on NCL.
