We choose this cruise for the drink and dining packages. Great value. Specialty dining was awesome. Food was excellent and service was exceptional . Main dining was typical. Service was slow and wait staff unattractive. Nice variety on buffet. It was fresh and well maintained. Norwegian does lack in late night dining options. Only one 24 hour food option for the whole ship. Hard to get into dining and entertainment options. Not enough time slots for shows for as big as ship was. Casino was not my favorite. Poor payouts and terrible service. We went out of New Orleans definitely not the best port to go out of. The embarkation was fair but debarking was a nightmare. We waited almost two hours for our prearranged pick and on the vans just gave up and left us. The one that stayed to pick us up was not able to accommodate everyone so loaded luggage and ones who could fit and the rest of party had to walk. Everyones excuse was “the parades” but they know how it is and should plan as such.
