Dining deluge

I would like to add to Aida Resurreccion’s complaint about her Norwegian Cruise Line’s Alaskan cruise (“On Sail,” On the Spot, June 22).

The problem with the dining schedule is its touted freestyle cruising.

The idea is that you can eat whenever you wish with whomever you wish. The problem is that at 6 p.m., hundreds of people show up at the dining room wanting to eat and get to an 8 p.m. show. The options are to be on a wait list or to go to a pay restaurant, which already is closed to reservations. So a lot of people get a pizza and then go to the show. I, for one, will not take NCL as a cruise line.
