Cruise was excellent. Food, shows, casino just great for me. Very easy to navigate around the ship. Staff very helpfull and friendy about the ship. The food in specialty restaurants were top knotch. The only complaint i had was in ordering ketchup for my steak. Make sure you order way before your meal or your steak will be cold by the time you get it. H20 is a very nice spot for adults. I enjoyed ...

Overall, I felt like this was a great itinerary. I wish it wouldn't have started with 2 days at sea but it turned out to be good. The kids club and staff were amazing! We were so impressed with them! The service in the main dining rooms were horrendous. They had better servers in O'Sheehan's. The embarkation and disembarkation were smooth. The entertainment on the ship was pretty good. The ...

This was a poker cruise that I purchased from a guy who won it on his cruise. We are poker players & love cruising so thought we would give it a shot. We had done poker cruises on Princess & Royal Caribbean. We have cruised several times each on Princess, Celebrity & RCCL plus once on Disney for a total of 15 cruises in about as many years. Embarkation at New Orleans was a mess. Simply put up ...

This was my second cruise and my husbands first. We were so excited. We sailed out of New Orleans. Being a first time cruiser there were some things that we had to learn. The excursions were all amazing. The people who would clean our cabin were amazing and do a great job at remembering names. Overall we had fun. We liked every thing that did not have to do with an employee of the ship. A few ...

I won this cruise playing Texas Holdem'. It included a cruise for 2 in an Inside Cabin and a seat in the $600,000 NCL Poker Challenge Main Event. We chose not to upgrade. I was fine with the tiny cabin but my wife was not (too small and she missed "her balcony") so this will be the last Inside cabin we will ever cruise in. Overall it was a great cruise. The entertainment was incredible. ...

We are a retired couple in our late fifties with more than a dozen cruises on Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Princess and Holland America. This was our second NCL cruise, our other one being a Transatlantic on the Epic. Our group consisted of us, a friend and our two adult daughters. We chose this cruise as we had two CruiseNext credits that we could use on any cabin on a double-up offer. It ...

We have now cruised over 15 cruises mainly with Royal Caribbean and carnival. We decided to take our first cruise with Norwegian out of New Orleans on the getaway. I have to say the anticipation and excitement prior to the cruise was very high.Boarding the ship was extremely easy no issues with security very fast process when we got on the ship we walked straight into a shares bar and we were in ...

We absolutely loved the decor and the offerings of the ship. Everything was kept clean and it all looked fresh and new. Savor and Taste were the smaller of the 3 main dining rooms and they felt more intimate and very comfortable. The largest main dining room The Tropicana had live music and a dance floor which gave dining an entirely different feel. We loved the Tropicana but without ...

The ship is big, clean & nice decor but has rude staff, seemed impatient with you & don’t go out of their way to please passengers. There was 3 bartenders on deck 16 at the aft H2O bar that were great (Craig, Jack & Anthony). The layouts on this ship are awful. There is only one pool to accommodate 4000 guests plus 4 hot tubs which state adults only but were constantly over ran by teenagers or ...

Overpaid / Overbooked / Under Staffed = Nightmare

First off I would like to commend all of the staff and officers for doing the very best they could with the overbooked cruise nightmare we just got off of. Clearly NCL did not have adequate staff or room for all the extra people this holiday weekend. This was a Thanksgiving Cruise and I believe we had overbooking by over 900 people (4,900+ staff). I certainly hope you will not have to deal with ...
