[quote JollyMon78]Thank you all for your information. It appears the freestyle system is the biggest change I will experience, and that sounds pretty good. I have read a number of reviews on other sites that have been less than pleasing. Have any of you experienced bad food, shortage of food, extremely long lines for most everything and bad cabin service? I'm usually good at filtering out those that you can't please but I would like to run it by y'all as well.

Thanks again.

I've been on two NCL cruises totaling 21 nights. The worst meal I ever had on a cruise (ten cruises) was the time I ate in the main restaurant on the NCL Star. The food was okay and the service from the waiter was bad. The service from the assistant waiter was great. I ate in both main restaurants on the Jade and both the food and service was fine. I've never seen a shortage of food. I've seen long lines four times. The first time was because I arrived at the restaurant before it opened. I was seated very quickly once the restaurant did open. The second time was at a restaurant where I had a reservation. I was seated right a way because I had a reservation. The third time I just went to a different restaurant. The fourth time I figured the line was caused by all the people who had just gotten out of the show. So I went to the store to see if there was anything I wanted to buy and when I got back to the same restaurant there was no line and I was seated right a way. The cabin service has always been fine.
