I went on this cruise with a group of friends. I usually get an inside cabin but this time, that was a mistake. The inside cabins were EXTREMELY small. There was minimal closet space for the two of us. There were no drawers in the dresser. Outlets were only at the dresser so we had to share instead of having one in the bathroom. We saw the cabin steward on the first day and never again. He ...
Lately I have only been cruising on NCL because I normally travel alone and stay in the Haven. However this trip I went with a friend so I had a Club Balcony Stateroom.
The following is my review:
Stateroom: Absolutely terrible, the description said it sleeps 4, it barely fits one person in the room…..sleeps 3 is pushing it. The mattress was hard, the pillows left me with a stiff neck or a ...
The October 6, 2023, the New England cruise from Quebec City to Boston began on October 4 with the NCL BOGO air. The trip began at 6 am on United Air from Colorado Springs to Chicago. Late start with plane bathroom issues but arrived in time in Chicago for our connecting Air Canada flight. The Chicago flight loaded and had a delay of 20 minutes, then another 20, then everyone told to deplane, ...
Family Get-together
Party of 5 with 3 cabins. We were all to have 2 for 1 fares, with a Specialty Restaurant, 150 minutes WIFI/Internet, and $50 shore excursion credit. Unlike the other 2 cabins, we only received the 2 for 1 fare. Spoke with Guest Services and they had to get with HQ. Never got back to me. Went to Guest Services again and they stated HQ said they wouldn't do anything because it ...
Fair warning, this is a LONG and DETAILED review. I read lots of reviews but at 55, I have found to take most of them with a grain of salt. Everyone is different so you need to take away from reviews specifics that apply to you. I do not take any stock in reviews that make negative comments for things that are completely out of control by nature and certain things. People who complain that a ...
The food was mostly okay… the ship was over crowded and many guests couldn’t even see the shows due to not enough showing to accommodate all guests. We chose this cruise as it stopped in my husband’s home town of Cornerbrook NL. Of course this was our favorite stop on the cruise. The excursions were okay but not worth the costs. The excursion in Sydney consisted of a woman talking about how ...
The Norwegian Joy is a pretty nice ship with potential to be provide quality experiences. The staff on ship is quite upbeat and pleasant. Restaurants and facilities are closed more than open, there is no quality information in rooms regarding amenities or hours of operation, and there are incredibly long lines for everything. When booking you can pay $200 extra for high speed internet, multiple ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary as it included Newfoundland and Saguenay. Ports were all great. Loved the itinerary. We have completed over 20 cruises and this was our 5th on NCL. We have always enjoyed the entertainment and while the food has not always been the best at sea, we have always enjoyed the specialty restaurants and the main dining areas have been good to very good.
We ...
On this cruise, I learned that you get what you pay for! For the price that I paid as a solo traveller, the cruise was just barely OK, so in a way, I have to admit that it's nice that there are choices for bargain hunters, but personally, I will use more caution when booking a cruise in the future, as this cruise, food, ship and choice of activities did not meet my expectations. I am a rather ...
