First Cruise on Norwegian

Selected this cruise based on price because it was sailing out of New Orleans and stopping in Jamaica. Price included balcony, 3 specialty restaurants, premium beverage package, 250 minutes free wifi and air was included. Just had to prepay gratuities and a deviation fee to spend a few days pre cruise and post cruise in NOLA. Having cruised with Celebrity, I thought the cruise was freestyle as ...

We enjoyed this ship very much with little cons. We have sailed this one twice. The first time we went to embark it was hectic no one was directing anyone in the port of Miami the second time was great out of Louisiana. We have left out of both ports before and had the opposites the time before so guess depends on what team is working. All rooms are ready by 2pm so bring your carry on bag for the ...

Having cruised for the first time with Norwegian, on the Pearl in June 2019 and getting stranded in Barcelona Spain, due to a failed motor, I would not have sailed Norwegian again. Included in this experience was very poor dining room and guest services. Norwegian offered a generous credit, so, I booked the Norwegian Getaway for their Caribbean Cruise out of New Orleans Jan. 5-12, 2019. Totally ...

The NCL free promotions for dining and beverages etc is a real differentiator. I have noticed that in the last few years the cruise lines are now up charging for everything and it is very annoying. I would rather pay a little more and not have to be nickel and dimed. At RC (Royal Carribbien) and Princess you now have many items on the menu which are at additional cost. Seriously - it just ...

We just got off today (1/12/20) and I can say I would without a doubt never go back on this ship again. We are carefully considering never to cruise Norwegian again and we’ve only ever cruised with Norwegian previously. I understand the ship is old so that doesn’t have a lot to do with my review. I expect wear and tear. What I don’t expect though is to sleep in saggy and heavily stained ...

Overall A Wonderful Cruise

This was my 8th cruise and my husband's second. First time on Norwegian for both of us. We are both 31 and have no children. We're easy to please people, so overall it was a wonderful cruise. Embarkation and disembarkation were both smooth and easy. On and off within 20 minutes. We chose to do "self assist" getting off the ship, meaning we walked off with our luggage in hand, which made it much ...

Excellent prior experiences with other NCL cruises. We have been on a large number of cruises (30+) with many different cruise lines and this was the worst cruise we have ever been on. We are NCL Platinum and have always enjoyed NCL ships, however due to the many negative experiences we had on this cruise, we will not be sailing on NCL again. Pros • Food was above average in both ...

Chose this cruise out of New Orleans since we live nearby. Beautiful ship-but unfriendly and unhelpful staff. Many are unable to understand or communicate in English clearly. Numerous staff misled or lied to me/my family-often when they didn’t know something-instead of admitting they didn’t know-very uneducated staff throughout ship - $18 refund for missing one of 3 stops- thats insulting since ...

I have taken many New Years cruises, I also have taken four New Year cruises with Norwegian, but I have to say this one was the worst. Embarkation & Disembarkation was one think they did right, The cabin was nice, but the cabin steward only clean the room. Any message I had to go to guest service and they told me the steward was to deliver it. As far as TOWEL ANIMALS there was NONE. ...

Our family group of 8 persons (ages 18-82) wanted to celebrate New Years together on a cruise. We have enjoyed NCL together before, but definitely not this time. This ship was had too many people (5000) which meant you were in line for EVERYTHING! You had to make reservations for the free shows, but still stand in line to get entrance for a good seat. Why make reservations? We made ...
