As a latitude reward member of NCL i chose this cruise because other experiences with NCL was good. I have also resolved to cruise during the Thanksgiving period (been doing so for the past 3 years). Thus, I decided to experience this ship because I heard it is beautiful. I also planned on taking the Alaska cruise on this ship next year (not sure now with the experience).

I wanted to plan my next cruise and approached the Cruise Next Desk. One young lady from Croatia was around the desk. I approached and she ignored my presence for 3-5 minutes. I am a person of color! Finally, a caucasian male came and stood behind me, she immediately stopped what she was doing and asked "can I help you?' She may have legitimately been doing something, but the fact that she ignored my presence was concerning. Totally spoiled my vacation from that. Prejudice is a fact in the free world,but no one should spend large sums of money to experience it. Therefore, I feel compelled to address this issue on different forums.

The staff in the dining rooms make it a point of their duty to say 'no' to most of your request? When you cruise a much as I do, you know what to ask for. If you get it on one ship you are more than likely to ask for it on another. I will not take another Thanksgiving cruise, based on this ship's experience. Read more
