NCL Cruises

NCL Cruises have decided to go All-Inclusive as from the 06/04/17 all new bookings on all ships have gone All-Inclusive including your gratuities, these have been included in the cost of you cruise.

I know I’ve said many times before about cruise lines giving free drinks or giving you the option of adding on drinks packages but are they now getting a different clientele on cruise lines? I think that they are.

Many people loved cruising for the Formal nights and the clientele on board but over the years these have really changed, many customer’s complain about not having formal nights and I for one love walking down to the main area and seeing everyone dressed up as I don’t get to do this much at home. then you have the drinks packages included and that’s when you get different clientele on board I’ve read many stories over the year saying people are getting kicked off the ship for being too drunk and very rude. I for sure wouldn’t want to be on cruise we loads of people drunk.

Don’t get me wrong I like a few drinks while I’m away it is my Holiday but you have to know the limits and not drink yourself stupid just cause its free.  so have NCL gone the right way with making all there cruises All-Inclusive? many people will like this as the price you pay it has all this included but many people will hate this and NCL could lose a lot of business over it. I do think its a good idea with the Gratuities as many people hate having to pay for these so if there included in your cost you don’t noticed really that you’ve paid for them. I’ve been on the NCL Epic and she was a lovely ship I loved everything about her from the cabins to the food and Entertainment. there drinks weren’t cheap as there ships are in US Dollars so I can really see people taking advantage of the drinks and drink loads.

What are your thoughts on this do you think NCL have made a good decision or do you think cruise lines are going in the wrong direction now? let me know your thoughts on this
