"Cheap" is a relative term. There's people who think paying $3,000 for 2 people in a balcony cabin is "cheap".
You already paid the $16 per day in gratuities which is $224 for 2 people on a 7 day sailing. You paid another $138.60 per person for the "free" drink package plus another $49 per person per day for the "free at sea plus" which comes out to another $686 for 3 people on a 7 night sailing. So right there you have about $1,200 in fees and upgrade costs. And you still don't get free room service!
So either you get nickel and dimed for everything on the ship or you still get nickel and dimed (on less things) and you pay $1,200 to NCL up front. Compare that to what MSC and Celebrity charge and you'll see just why NCL is a ripoff!
