This cruise was rescheduled from a Black Sea Cruise that was cancelled due to the war in Ukraine.
This is the first time sailing with NCL and was expecting the experience to be top notch as it wasnt cheap. Sadly this wasnt the case. The itinerary was excellent with daily stops around the UK and Ireland and finishing in Copenhagen. The ship itself was also great. A smaller, older ship with none ...
Just finished ten day cruise with lots of interesting ports in England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. Overall was very pleased with the coordination in the ports, only did one shore excursion (as the ones offered by Norwegian seemed ridiculously overpriced, even with the $50 discount per excursion I was offered) but did several great self-arranged walking tours in the major ports ...
We are having an amazing time on our cruise! Spent 2 days in London prior to cruise at Guardsmen Hotel near Buckingham Palace and really enjoyed it. Left on National Express due to train strike and got to Southampton around 11am and onboard by 12pm! Very smooth embarkation by NCL. Each port has been lovely with excursions at each, loved Blarney Castle and Giants Causeway. Bring layers!! Some days ...
I chose this trip and ship over a cheaper cruise because of the British Isles itinerary (I've always wanted to see Scotland) and dates that best suited my schedule. It was a last minute decision and I'm not a frequent cruiser, so I don't know all the tricks and tips that I see a lot of people use to book their trips and make the most of their money. When you just want to relax and go on vacation, ...
I liked the ports of call.
Edinburgh,Orkney,Shetland then onto Norway finishing in the arctic circle.
I booked this cruise while on the Norwegian Dawn on a previous cruise. It was a good price taking into account the 200 pounds cash back for booking with the Nextcruise deck.
I took the drinks package which also included 300 min wifi and 2 speciality restaurant meals which was also good ...
Ship operations seemed disorganized and everything was just in time. By the end of the cruise it seemed as everything was a competition between passengers to get to the front of the line or somewhere first.
A single tender port when we bought our tickets turned into 5 once we boarded. The nightly queue to get tender tickets for next day was 30 to 60 minutes. Not worth it. We ate a later ...
Where do start, internet, none existent, menu never changed for 12 days, food cold and tasteless, since when do you make chilli with cannelloni beans. Took the ship over 24 hours to cover about 200 miles and I know that’s why it is called cruising but we could have all day in Tromso instead of docking at 7 at night and having to leave at 3 in the morning for the airport, why, because the company ...
We are in day 8 of a 12-day cruise. This is our third incredibly disappointing NCL cruise in a row. NCL used to be the friendliest of all cruise lines. I am at the Platinum level, and I just want to get this horrible cruise over. I recommend that no one ever take an NCL cruise. I will describe a number of reasons for my recommendation by discussing Guest Services; dining; excursions, beverage, ...
I loved this cruise. I loved the outside looks and the inside of the ship was beautiful. Go transport to and from the cruise line, so that was wonderful (with an outside company). It was so fun and so easy to board and debark the ship during most days at port. Getting onto the ships during the first day was a little chaotic, but it was an easy process. I loved all the food. It was phenomenal EVERY ...
