Try as they may, we won't sail NCL ever again. Too many bad experiences

[Shari2]

Was only on NCL once, on the Norway. Haven't tried the new ships. I loved the ship itself (the Norway) but back then the service, food, and much more was not great...although, at the time, the employees were on strike...the entertainment was wonderful, though....this new entertainment lineup sounds like it will be fun.
