NCL isn't horrible if you have the beverage package, specialty dining, and VIP status. But I'd rather be on a line where all those things are a given.
The water policy is a major annoyance. I almost always come back on the ship from port with a bottle of water (or two) in my bag and will find it annoying to have to toss them (or gulp them down) before reboarding.
