[Travelandtourism] Norwegian Cruise Line

[Wendy David]

I was on NCL a year ago and will never travel with them again. They were 
very unaccommodating with the dog guides, refused to provide Braille (we 
left our Braille on the ship and I wonder if that's what they're passing off 
as theirs), and overall unfriendly. I have been on 5 other cruise lines and 
am glad I have a choice.
