My wife wanted to try Norwegian after speaking to many at her work who regularly use NCL. We have been on 25+ cruises and 23 of them were with Carnival. We had 1 Royal Caribbean and I had one NCL (20+ years ago) and didn't really remember much about that small ship out of Miami.
We chose the 7 day out of New Orleans (we live right outside the area) with stops in Cozumel, Roatan, Honduras, ...
We chose this cruise because of the destinations, and had heard good things about Norwegian. I’m a very positive person and always focus on the positives and try to diminish anything negative, however - there was NOTHING good about this cruise ship and their staff. Nothing. First, they allow smoking in so many places on the ship, including the casino on the 7th floor - which pretty much made ...
First cruise with Norwegian. We’ve taken 3 others on Celebrity & Carnival. There were some good things about the cruise but many others that left us thinking it was just an average experience.
Tot seems to depend on what you want. For kids maybe a good ship. If you like many nicer dining experiences maybe a good choice. If you like the loud pool scene they offer that.
For us those aren’t ...
We chose the NCL Breakaway because we were in New Orleans for Mardi Gras and have sailed NCL many times before. It’s a beautiful ship but the venues are not capable of handling the number of passengers on board. The showroom is smaller than those on smaller ships and required reservations on the only floor show twice on two days during the week. The show BURN THE FLOOR was good but it was ...
This was my and my wife’s tenth cruise on NCL and was our favorite cruise line until this cruise. I started having reservations about this ship as well as the Prima after reading reviews. A lot of the complaints that people had didn’t really bother me, but I was concerned about some.
The good. We had balcony on deck 11, it was good. The housekeeper was excellent, never had to wait for room to ...
The cruise went to some great places and we did excursions , unusually for us , and on the whole they were good. NCL are noisy ships and we always get a spa pass as that is the only place inside you can sit to have a view out of the front of the boat. Entertainment is varied and some is good some less so, food is generally good. Seated drinks service is always patchy, do they have a lot of people ...
I wish I could erase this cruise from memory. If you like extreme drinking and loud cruises, this is for you, us, not at all. Unfortunately it has given us doubt to ever go on a freestyle type cruise. The bars were packed from sun up to closing, sadly it was the same people everyday. You simply could not walk up to a bar to get a drink, it took forever. And no one walking around taking drink ...
I talked some family and friends into going on a cruise this year, in lieu of renting a beach house to get a break from the winter weather. I have been on 4 prior cruises on Royal Caribbean, Holland America as well Carnival and always had great experiences. Our group wanted to go to Belize in particular so when I discovered that Norwegian’s Breakaway had a stop in Belize, I looked into trying ...
Cabin is clean but small and a bit dated.
Quality professional entertainment almost non existent or in too small venues for such a large ship
Food Ok, neither bad nor something to write home about.
Servers and cabin attendants friendly but over worked.
Some of the admin staff could be friendly.
STOLE $41 from me. Charged us for 24 bottles of water we received and the same day ...
We just got back from a 7 day Carribean cruise that left from Galveston. Definitely take a taxi to the port - would have never found out how to get there on our own. We did the park and cruise package with Holiday Inn Superdome. Taxi was $15 to the port.
Since this was our first cruise we can't compare to other lines or cruises. The boarding process seemed efficient to me. Once on board it ...
