We had a family reunion on the cruise that sailed 8/15 - 8/22.
Our room was next to the crew hallway. Although there were signs to keep quiet, these folks were loud here even during sleeping hours.
There was very little if non availability to make reservations for restaurants that required them. We were even willing to pay extra! As a matter of fact, my father-in-law tipped the host CASH and got in in 5 minutes when they were over booked.
The islands were beautiful but NCL should have had more time training the staff.
It was bad!
