We chose this for the 11 day itinerary with only one sea day. I was very disappointed in the food. We were parked next to carnival on a couple of days. I asked them if they still got shrimp cocktails as appetizers and a steak lobster dinner. Yes they did. I never saw one shrimp cocktail or any lobster. They had one night with salmon. We did not pay the extra 39 pp for the up charge restaurants. We did try the Chinese once. Decent spring rolls but could not eat the rest. O Sheehan’s was okay but portions very small. I ordered one mudslide for $12 plus tip. It tasted like a slurpee from 711. Every activity was overcrowded and not enough seats. The atrium was full 40 minutes before deal or no deal. The movie screen at night was nice but the chairs get put away. No place to sit. I will go back to an all inclusive hotel anywhere. This experience left us with no desire to repeat. Husband lost 2 pounds. We missed the washers for customers. Norwegian will do a laundry bag for $20 and return it 3 nights later. The pools were like oversized bathtubs. 3 of them for 4100 people. Room key didn’t work. Had to stand in a long line to replace it. Coffee machines always empty. Unorganized lines to get off ships on several days. Felt like cattle being herded.
