A group of friends chose the tour and we wanted to go with them. Going to the islands were terrific and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had not gone on a cruise in over 10 years, but disagree with the forced gratuity imposed by NCL as well as extra charges for dining and WiFi.
There is a $13.50 charge per person per day to make your bed and provide towels.They didn't even change the sheets daily. For a couple that is $27 a day and if you have any children over 3 years old, that's an additional $13.50. For 2 people, it's still one bed. This is a mandatory charge
They charge over $40 for 24 bottles of water which costs about $5 at home. You are not allowed to bring water on board that you bought onshore. I bought one 1 liter of water which cost $5.50. They added an 18%gratuity to hand me that bottle, plus tax. It was $6.72. You can empty out the bottle before boarding and refill on board or bring your own water bottle. There's a fridge in room so water can be cold.
Cabin makes great use of space. Enough drawers and closet space. Balcony is nice added space . Safe and fridge in room very convenient.
