Norwegian Cruise line is focused on children & young adults. Our ship seemed like a kid's Water Park with all the trimmings. Likely the fact it was Summer contributed to the mass of children & young adults...staff said of the 4,800 passengers the ship had 1,000 children on board. Also, since most passengers travelled in large & small family/other groups there was little interest to meet other people. The restaurants did not entertain our request to join other tables...which we do on Princess & Holland America. The ship was 'budget' i.e. none of the basic goodies we expect e.g. toiletries, bathrobes, etc.This, our 20th cruise, twice as large as any ship we've been on.....and will not repeat.
