I think part of the issue was that on this cruise there were more sea days so it compounded the lounges issue.

As for the food, the first BN cruise was the Maasdam. Smaller ship, much better service and food.
I forget the next cruise line we were on.
3 and 4 were Carnaval and bigger each time.

As for the cost. The Big Nude Boat was quite expensive and we didn't think we got value for the money. Last year we spent 10 days at N Resort in Jamaica and it was less expensive, the food was better, the drinks were free and we could always get a spot by the pool.

As for the BN Holland America ship, nope, no more cruises.
