My First time on the Dawn and the first cruise in three years because of pandemic. Norwegian is a great line, but the Dawn needs improvement. The ship seemed short-staffed. Infection control measures appeared to be nonexistent. Only a few staff members were masked. The washy-washy disappeared somewhere during the cruise. Antiseptic containers were sometimes empty. Restaurants didn't seem to care ...
Chose this cruise to get away from the cold.
Embarking was very well done as was debarking.
The ship itself is in excellent shape.
The other guests were not sensitive for the needs of people with disabilities and sat at designated handicaped tables in the buffet during the entire cruise.
Service was the best ever on a Norwegian ship never a negative thought.
The public areas of the ...
We were looking forward to this cruise out of NYC, but we’re very disappointed right from the embarkation, we arrived on a buss supplied by Norwegian, they kept everyone on the bus for almost 45 min., from there we had to find our way to a holding area with a couple of hundred other passengers for an hour and a half with No Norwegian staff to give us any guidance. When we finally got on the ship ...
I chose this cruise because it was a 12 day and many of the Islands I have not visited before. I was on the Gem last February and we had a great experience. The Getaway was poorly run and so unorganized. The first day was a nightmare and took forever to board the ship. Disembarking was even worse. Our cabin steward was awesome and the bar tenders worked their butts off. The restaurants were a ...
I have to say I wasn't looking forward to this cruise in some ways, I have sailed over 35 cruises with NCL and I have been so disappointed with recent cruises with them but we were committed to this cruise as we had Cruise Next Vouchers.
For someone that has done so many cruises with them its really got to the point where I don't think I can sail with them again, they have stripped so much out ...
I'm writing this review with another night left. Me (28yoa) and my wife (25 yoa) last took an NCL cruise in February of 2022, it was such a great experience we bought their Cruise Next credits for future cruises. Staff were so joyous and friendly, service was top notch, food and entertainment were next level, and multiple staff members made meaningful impacts on our cruise.
The NCL Getaway, on ...
It is said once you go Haven, you can't go back. With that in mind I tried not to judge our experience when we decided to book a Club Balcony Suite. The bathroom was nice but the room itself is cramped and trying to get in and out of the closet is a joke! The cruise ship was probably at capacity and one of the ports was eliminated just prior to sailing. Nothing you can do about that. We have been ...
It's basically a scam.
I went with my wife, we also invited my sister in love and her husband. We are all in our 30's. We bought the package free at sea that was suposed to include wifi and free drinks. It was a black friday promotion.
The web page said it was free, but this is NOT true.
Embarking and disembarking: A total nightmare! I do not know why you have to choose a time when you ...
We just got off the Norwegian Epic one week ago and although I rarely do this, I felt it necessary to post this review. My wife and I read a significant number of reviews prior to sailing and, much to our chagrin, many were extremely negative. We really began to question our decision but the itinerary was what ultimately made the decision and we are so glad we hung in there. The entire experience, ...
We arrived early to New Orleans (Friday afternoon). Since we were up at an ungodly hour for our early morning flight, we ended up going to Mulates cajun restaurant for a late lunch/early dinner. They were closed when we were there last year because the Nicholas Cage movie Renfield was being filmed there. I highly recommend it. The food was great. We split a fried alligator appetizer, I had ...
