Objective view on all the criticism/alternatives

[thetaro]

NCL complaints are mostly about nickel and diming. NCL would do everything to squeeze the last penny of you. They keep raising the price while dropping benefits.

MSC complaints are mostly about the inconsistency, website issues, account issues, customer service, and changing policy without noticing customers. 

 

To be fair, it's unlikely you will have a bad cruise if you are open-minded. Some people tend to exaggerate and turn minor issues into a huge deal. There will always be mistakes and issues, simply ask them to fix it if it bothers you. A lot of complaints I saw are like a non-issue to me.
