General Comments
No party going on when you first come on board. Had to get my own drinks, nobody walking around with drink trays full of drinks. You did not feel like you were being catered to. The pool area decor left a little to be desired. We will never go on NCL again. Look around on the internet and you will see people saying the same thing.

I totally disagree with this review because obviously the reviewer was expecting to be waited on hand and foot - but at a budget price... If you want a luxury cruise, you don't go Freestyle cruising with NCL.
Yes, do read other reviews, and generally the ones complaining are ones with expectations way above the cruise price. Read the positive reviews for a balance, and then make up your mind if NCL is for you. Obviously it is not to everyone's taste, but if it is clean (it is), the food is good (it is) the cabin is well serviced (it is) and the staff are pleasant and helpful (they are), the shows are entertaining (they are) and embarkation and disembarkation is efficient (it is), what is the problem?
You didn't get a welcome party? You didn't have someone coming round with a tray of drinks? Oh dearie me. What a tragedy.
It is grossly unfair to criticise a cruise that delivers what it promises and NCL delivered far more than we expected, given the price, and rated it a bargain 7 day break that was cheaper than the cost of a bed only for 7 days, at many hotels and motels I could list and I have lost count of the number we have stayed in over the years in many different countries.
Be fair.
