Sorry the food wasn't that great The views and your photos are fabulous! The cookie situation was bizarre as well...why wouldn't they think you would've wanted them later?
I would die of embarrassment if I was THAT GUY arriving late to ship holding everyone else. Not that my OCD head would ever allow it, but still.
When I read about your first day on board, I thought to myself, "I'd never get over that on the entire cruise. I can't imagine DCL expecting me to get my own confirmations, etc without their help." Then, your trip report sounded so much fun. I started to think maybe NCL would be worth the savings. Now, I see you have to provide your own proof for their mistakes on the bill, too. I think I'd be so annoyed. Mistakes happen and I fine with them because they get sorted out, but it sounds like you have to be totally prepared to hold your ground and battle these people. I just can't imagine having to do this on DCL. I could be wrong, but I think DCL would help you get the proof or do some research. The beverage thing sounds like a deliberate mistake if it happens so often.It seems a lot of people get the free beverage package only to have it still being charged to their account, so just be warned to check your account throughout the cruise and keep on top of it…..And have the proof with you. Many times they will tell you they can’t do anything without proof.

Wonderful updates! Sorry I was behind, I had a long weekend at WDW.
We had somebody do the long slow walk to the ship when we were at Cozumel. I can't imagine doing something like this and I'm honestly surprised they didn't leave as threatened. Very selfish and rude to be that last person.
Gorgeous scenery, just breathtaking.
Bummer about the meat restaurant not being great, and boo on them for not offering all 25 as advertised.
Expecting a comedy show and getting a fiddle show was understandably disappointing.
Not cool that all the drinks were charged to your account. I'm sure they hope some people won't notice...
Well for some reason I asked the time…..it was 11:55. WHAT???? The time had jumped forward an hour last night. We were supposed to have received a note in our room.
I'm glad you happened to ask the time! Lunch looked delicious. Here I'm eating fruit and I could definitely go for some fried rice.
I love sea days
At first glance I'm thinking "Why change the time if you you jump time zones, just keep a single 'ships's time'?"
But thought yea that could work if you never left the ship but if your port was on a different time zone people would be late/early coming back to the ship.
More amazing photos! The scenery is incredible.
The fiddle show...yikes. Yeah I would've been disappointed as well. We really like comedy shows as well. The last cruise we just did (Carnival) they had a really funny guy we went to his show twice during the trip. I wonder why that was advertised incorrectly.
The Japanese lunch looks so delicious and I love the rice in the heart shape! How cute. I'm with Claire, I love the rice at those places.
I saw the dessert and literally thought to myself "AH THE GREEN TEA CAKE IS BACK!" lol! I don't know why, maybe because it stuck out in my mind from last time.
Oh I love the family photos! They came out so great
The Ore Cheesecake looks amazing and I really want some now!
Great updates as always! I love Claire's necklace with the gold flakes. Cute keepsake!
Your pictures with the new effects are great! Claire is looking more like Skip each day!
