Only 2 choices for main dishes after boarding in November on Reflection. Neither choice sounded good and although we would have loved the quiet lunch we went with the masses. Not a good perk in my mind.

Ability to order appeared on the website on my cruise page somewhere around 48 or 49 days out from our June 1st cruise. Ordered them at that time and received them yesterday.

My granddaughter and I were on this cruise in June of 2013. There were children and the clubs were open. My granddaughter was 13 at the time and we ate in all 3 specialty restaurants without issue. I think the age limit might be around 12. The best advice I can give you is to bring some clothes to keep you warm. We froze as those winds were biting cold. We did not use the balcony as much as usual because of the cold and eating outside was not pleasant. Nice in Liverpool and Dublin but the rest of the days required sweat shirts and multiple layers. Cheap throw away rain ponchos that you can buy in the dollar stores are great because they are easy to carry (fit in a pocket)and do keep you dry. We loved the trip.

We were on this trip also and the waiting in line was unbelievable. Easy off, by carrying your own bags is 2 1/2 hours in line just to reach customs.

The wait to board was several hours and we were "lucky" to be in the group allowed in the building but no chairs for us. My brother uses a cane and I was recovering from abdominal surgery, we needed to sit and finally found some floor space. Just before boarding they brought water and juice but the bathroom wasn't working. What a nightmare and not a good way to start the week.

Rough seas created a banging on our slider that did not allow for sleep and had been shimmed before and they did it again with no results. Couldn't fix it and offered us an inside room to move to (from a balcony). I have been on over 15 cruises and these were the worst accommodations we ever had. The Aqua dining room is like a basement and service in both dining rooms was really slow and the food mediocre. Cagney's was wonderful but skip Moderna and Le Bistro.

Woke up one morning with no TV, no lights in the bathroom and no electric to the coffee pot. Was mid day before it was fixed and only by going to guest services and talking to a supervisor did we get some activity.

Cruise was inexpensive because you pay for every little thing. I feel nickel and dimed. Paying corkage on the 2 bottles of wine we brought to drink in the room was overkill. Don't know of another line that does this.

This was the first time on NCL and we will not use this line again or use the Tampa port which was further and not capable of handling the crowds.

My family was on the early Tender to Belize for an excursion and were scared to death by the waves coming over the top of the tender. Two other ships (Carnival and Princess) decided to skip Belize because conditions were not safe. I am not sure NCL made a good decision to stay

and put people at risk.
