The overall experience is ehhh. Carnival is better, Holland is better, genuinely any other cruise line besides Margaritaville is better. The food on Norwegian is pretty bad unless you go to a restaurant (that you pay extra at), the boat is insanely crowded, the excursions always leave late because the masses don’t show up on time, and the customer service is subpar. If you want to do anything ...
You will be pleased with some of the over the top design and decor. You should like the service of the hard working crew, but will be not as pleased with some of the on board things.
The food has dropped dramatically in quality in the dining rooms, but the pleasant staff try to make up for it with excellent service. The chefs need to back off the amount of salt.

This was my second cruise on Virgin. I previously cruised Scarlet Lady July 2023 and was blown away. The cabin, the crew, it was a perfect trip.
I didn't take advantage of the future booking deal onboard that cruise and regretted it immediately. I was delighted when they sent a post cruise offer, not as good but still something. I purchased and booked this cruise immediately. Unfortunately, it ...
Sadly, I'm of the same opinion of other prople on board Very disappointed with this Carabbean trip. Ports over crowded by too many ships.
However, l must say, the staff were excellent.
Our cabin steward did his best to keep our tardy cabin clean everyday. The shower head was broken which took two attempts at repair; there was mould in the shower corners; the toilet seat was disgusting: ...
This is one HUGE cruise ship. We specifically sailed on this ship for our cruise, even though we had already traveled to all the ports of call.
Pros:
Cabin- we traveled with 2 adults and 1 child. Upgraded balcony room on deck 10. Balcony was huge with 2 chairs, end table, and large lounge chair for sunbathing. We will be forever spoiled with this balcony for future cruises. Rooms have ...
Close to home, convenience. Florin, at Java Blue coffee was wonderful. He deserves a raise. No matter how long his lines were, he was always pleasant and ready to tell a joke. He also remembered names! Family did a great job keeping our rooms tidy and to bring whatever we needed or wanted. Lizzie, the Cruise Director, was super engaging and upbeat. She is a super find. The food is mediocre, but ...
Although izzit international cruise, but the food was not international. Terrible food, Food was cold, and cruise was quite old, casino is very small.
And we had to queue long time for the food.
Food was really bad on the ship. Repeated food for breakfast and lunch buffets.
And no assistant to guide us about the room key, coz we are bunch of elderly, don’t know how to read instruction, no ...
It's old. It's small. It's trying to copy the big ships but fails. And therefore it's so crowded everywhere that's popular! Deck 5 -Promenade- is at least 2/3 smaller than bug ships. I (I chose it because the big ships are just too hard for me to explore due to a recent disability) . But people congregate and it gets too crowded to move! Music however was great!
The pools...a hard skip unless ...
Just wanted to know if anybody else on this sailing got covid when they returned home? I got it a few days after leaving ship. Otherwise had a nice cruise. Would prefer no days "at sea" . Ship was older, but revamped a few years back. Still looked old with dark interiors. A lot of illnesses could circulate inside a closed air conditioned ship, not just covid. Went on a 7 day Princess cruise ...
We went on a cruise to the Dominican Republic and Grand Turk, and one of the best experiences was the crew, like they go above and beyond to the fullest extent to make sure I had the time of my life, there was 3,900 passengers aboard and they still remembered our names, and always asked how we was doing, if they can get us anything, I mean hands down the crew was spectacular, so hats off to ...
