Wow-I have had a totally different experience-The A330 is awesome. The AVOD is incredible, the legroom is pretty good(especially toward the front), and I had no trouble in custome/immigration in Detroit.
The only problem with the A330's is with the AVOD system under the window seats-However, AVOD is much better than watching movies on a 13" TV screen 10 rows ahead.
YMMV

It was absolutely miserable. I'm a former travel agent and airline employee so I have traveled a lot but never NW coach internationally. And never again. To add to the misery, I was shocked to find DTW's international arrival area was such an incredible hassle. Just went through MIA internationally and it was a breeze compared to DTW. It was a relief to sink into the plush seat on our regional jet!
