Just sailed 9/12, just show up before noon. They have it very well organized. It was almost like a military operation testing 1,200 people in such a short span of time. By the way, the staff, ship, food, everything was wonderful. The ship looked like she just left the shipyard. Beautiful and not a scratch on her. So nice to sail half full.

Had an incredible time. Hope you have a wonderful trip too. 

This is the 2nd increase in 5 months. According to NCL their last increase was in 2009 so why 2 in less than 6 months. I think this is highly unprofessional and after I use my last reward in Dec I think I will cut ties with NCL and I am Platinum. O'Sheehan was great but Del Rio is doing too many things way too fast and it will backfire on him and NCL. Do not forget when you get those comment cards on the ship that you let them know how you feel. We can also send a direct letter to NCL. The increased gratuities and the ala cart pricing are just after more of the passengers money. Looking at the pricing for Cagneys I think it will be hard to stay under the old $30.00 pp service charge if you order an appetizer, main course and dessert and that is their plan. I do understand extra prices for extras like two entrees or two dessert but not this. I do not see Del Rio lasting long and when we sail on the Escape TA I am sure Del Rio will be on the ship and attend the CC get together and people are going to rip him apart! I hear Celebrity calling my name! :confused:

I totally agree, after 30 years I'm done, its time for a change. I am actually excited about finding a new cruise line. Del Rio would better be suited running Spirit Airlines.

I took my first cruise on NCL in 1985. I have sailed at least 15 cruises with them over the last 30 years. Over those 30 years i have seen a lot of change at NCL but these recent changes are making them the Spirit Airlines of the cruise industry and this is something i wont stick around for. Things were going well then they booted the man in charge a while back and now they are in a fee-for-all grab. NCL and I are done. I need and will find a new cruise line. It is time for a change. Adios, it was a good ride.

"crabcakes" on NCL Spirit........ they were deep fried hush puppies lol. Awful!
