We were moments away from booking a cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line - names given, dates of birth taken - when one unexpected detail came up that made us walk away completely. In this video, we explain why we decided not to go ahead with booking a Norwegian Cruise Line cruise, and talk through what happened during the booking call, why the information we were given caught us so off guard, how it could impact the overall cruise experience, and why it ultimately became a deal breaker for us. We’ve cruised with Norwegian Cruise Line before and had a great experience, which made this decision even harder - but this one detail just didn’t sit right with us. If you’re considering booking an NCL cruise, particularly a European itinerary, this is something you’ll want to be aware of before you commit. Norwegian Cruise Line (often referred to as NCL) is a well-known cruise line offering a more relaxed, “freestyle” approach to cruising, with flexible dining, a wide range of onboard entertainment, and itineraries sailing worldwide, including Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean. NCL is popular with couples, families, and first-time cruisers, and offers optional add-on packages such as the More at Sea drinks and dining packages to customise your cruise experience. Let us know in the comments: Would this stop you booking a cruise? Have you ever walked away from a booking at the last minute? Do you think cruise lines should be more upfront about these things?
