This was my second cruise first on carnival. It was awful.....my husband and children have no interest in another cruise....this was their first. Bathrooms were smelly and disgusting....we arrived in Florida late so we missed our excursion due to currents and weather.....got to their island on Tuesday. Were not told we had to have resy for tender....made rest for 11am... did not leave the ship till 1:15pm. Sat arpu d waiting and then moved to bix office to wait some more. Got to the island and bbq closed at 2pm. At the last beach loaded with rocks and shells. Cur my calf and my daughter scraped her knee. There was one clamshell on the beach and we couldn't move it to where we were. Had to rush back to the boat for 5:30 dinner resy.....Balmoral island when we docked in Nassau....another line waiting on wrist bracelets for dolphin swim. Beach there was awesome but also very costly for everything. Back on the boat for two days.....no seats in the atrium, no lounge chairs unless get up at the crack of dawn to put a towel down and save a seat. Getting a soda was a joke and the nickel and diming of all on board items was crazy. I saw one woman in the bathroom who couldn't wait to get off and called the ship a sh*thole. My daughter won a prize in the arcade and it didn't come out.....my sister in law had to fight them for a rubix cube......I would never sail NCL again. Last day off the ship.....guest services has two stations open....the cruise had over 4500 people on it...... what a joke.....thousands of dollars - I could have went to Disney and redone my bathroom......never cruise NCL again.....what a shame. Sports bar has one channel......TV has the same shows and episodes.....movies cost $10 and the onboarding texting is a joke.....it's $9.95 per phone and you have to download the ncl app which you can't because you are onboard. .. .what a joke.....worst spent money ever......so not happy. Best part of the whole ship was.our cabin Stewart Arsen.....we loved him
