I wanted to be smart, upgrade drink and dinning packages, pay everything up front so the on board things were covered, no surprises. Well, our dining package that was several hundred dollars, that I was assured by the man on the phone took care of us the length of our trip, turned out to be exactly what I expected, 3 meals. Now we’re stuck eating the same food offered every day, with the exception of a handful of things in the overcrowded buffet. People began getting sick on board, food quality got so poor we limited ourselves to bare minimum. This was no help. You ate, you better be close to a restroom! By the third day I was so fed up with skunky tasting beer, poor quality buffet food I would have paid to get off the boat! The addition charges at the end of your cruise is a nice touch! The cost of parking is 20$ a day (which we were told cruise lines have special parking at port)I will NEVER, Step foot on a Norwegian Cruise line again!
