For some reason the itinerary listed here is not the one we had. Our was a 10 day British Isles cruise.
We chose this cruise because of its itinerary. Though we are traveling often and were 13 times in London we have never been in any other UK place except for London. This cruise was supposed to give us ability to do so. And we had previously sailed twice on NCL and had decent experience both ...
Scotland, Ireland, England cruise
Common spaces very crowded, yet the high prices restaurants were vacant. We think they have way too many high prices restaurants which could have been more open spaces for all to relieve cramping.
Missed 3 of 8 ports due to Norwegian choosing to do tenders (5 tender ports - which they did not advertise). The port stops were cancelled due to high winds. ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and because we use to love NCL… not anymore.
We were not communicating with at all. There Was only supposed to be 1 tender port and there were 5. We were not told this until boarding the ship. We missed 3 out of those 5 ports due to “bad weather”. We were told at the last minute as the boat turned away from places we had dreamed about going. But ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary. For our style of travel (we have been on 16 cruises and also land based vacations) the best thing about cruising is the convenience of seeing a variety of places without having to unpack, pack, and move suitcases between each one. We avoid cruises with lots of sea days. We also avoid cruises with lots of tender stops due to the difficulty in meeting ...
I chose this cruise due to the ports we were supposed to visit and was only supposed to be at sea for 1 day! We found out that we were going to have to tender to 5 ports on this trip when we got to our rooms. Rumor has it that Norwegian doesn’t pay their port fees and that is why we needed to tender so many times.
The first port we missed due to tender problems was Stornoway. The next port ...
After just completing an Holland America 24 day cruise of theBaltic , Norway and Iceland. Both my wife and I looked with great enthusiasm to the NCL trip featuring the emerald island of Ireland. Our first day included dinner at Cagney steak house which was excellent.However from that point on this cruise went from ordinary to we “”could not wait to get off”
#The main eating bistro area called ...
Lovely ship that failed to meet expectations. Stateroom was spacious. We had a balcony. Too much for young people which left little space for mature adults. Public spaces are too small. Music and shows are too loud. Not enough entertainment, especially on Sea days. No comedian. No card games. No high tea. Race track vibrations felt while eating at Palomar. Difficult to find a seat or ...
Chose this cruise for the ports of call.
Down and dirty summary of the cruise as follows:... great great service staff - Front end staff however i.e excursions, guest services and onboard credit was nasty, rude and cold. Was told at one point, i cant help you, go email our corporate office!
Two of the excursions had time changes with no advance warning given. One port of call cancelled when ...
I choose the cruise because of the route. The fact that it’s a new cruise ship also make it a bit more exiting. However the experience is not as good as our last NCL ship. Prima is designed to squeeze more money out of your pocket. They squeezed the dining area, the buffet selection, room size, pools, sitting area, but added more items that you have to pay. The buffet has very limited sitting and ...
Chose the cruise due to the port stops and the fact it was a new ship. They have a lot of things to work out on this ship. The main dining rooms were also quite unorganized. Sometimes our meals took a very long time to come and someone else would come with our food like it was found somewhere. Some of the exercise equipment wasn’t working so had to wait until one came available. Mini golf and ...
