Norwegian Family Cruises Reviews

Overall: 2/5 TL;DR - Entertainment was lacking and the ship is catered the older crowd, didn't have anything for anyone between 25 - 35 years old. NCL will also upcharge you for EVERYTHING. We had an additional $250 worth of charges that were a mistake (as we had the premium plus package) and it took multiple trips to the service desks to get them removed as there we 4 of them on the ship that ...

As a Platinum Member with NCL, this is the second time I have taken the Pride of America cruise. I have also been dedicated to NCL and prefer to cruise with them based on their customer service. The Pride of America had been docked for two years due to Covid. April 9th was the the first sailing since then. We have always stayed in top of the line suites (Owners Suite, Three Bedroom Garden ...

We recently returned from our long awaited Hawaiian cruise. The cruise ship was clean, especially since we were the first ones to sail in over 2+ years. Several of the dining locations were closed due to staffing issues. (If you have the specialty dining package, make your reservations as soon as you board the ship to get the date and time that you want). Also several of the bars were closed ...

We decided to book a cruise late minute and found 5 day NCL Gem to Bermuda. Despite of the stress in dealing with the Bermuda travel authority we boarded the ship as normal. We expected a long process to board being our first cruise since the restart but it was quick. The Gem is a smaller ship so everything was close and convenient. The live bands were great especially Natural Mystic in the Magnum ...

We booked a Hawaiian cruise on NCL’s Pride of America for 2020. Because of the pandemic, it had to be rebooked for 2021, and then rebooked for 2022. Each time we rebooked we used credits from the previous year, but then had to pay additional monies because of prices going up. We finally got to cruise in 2022 on their first voyage in 2 years and the cruise was wonderful with only 40% capacity on ...

We waited almost 3 years to go on our honeymoon and it was worth the wait! They were running at just over 50% capacity and sure, some of the restaurants weren't open, but they notified all the passengers in advance and even compensated us with extra onboard credit to make up for it. The only real disappointment was the Sushi Bar wasn't open. We had a penthouse suite that was enormous! ...

Cruise April 8 - 15 2022 Norwegian Pearl EMBARKMENT-- 4 hours in line. Ship was 3 hours late because of storm. They knew about storm night before but didn't call or email us. Elderly people crying in line as their legs were giving out and were not even offered a chair. ORIGINAL PAPERWORK -- We were supposed to have 3 days in Bermuda. They changed it twice without letting us know. Made ...

We chose this cruise to coincide with our grandchildren's spring break from high school in snowy Colorado! We also chose it because they sailed free! They both REALLY enjoyed their cruise and we REALLY enjoyed them! They were the perfect age for grandparents to cruise with! They are self sufficient, they loved having their own keycards and the ability to go grab a bite and/or a beverage by ...

This was my wife and my 26th cruise; our 5th on NCL (although they only show us as our second because the 3 previous ones were back in the 80's/90's). We fell in love with the layout of the ship and the spaciousness of the public areas made us feel like we were in a much larger ship. As with most NCL cruises, there were many dining choices, and all were dining on your own time. We liked the fact ...

We chose this cruise for the excellent entertainment. The theater/stage shows are always consistently fantastic, but the impressive thing about this cruise was the extremely talented “smaller venue” entertainers. Randon Lauron, from Phillipines, is a very humble gifted guitarist and vocalist, we we were mesmerized with him EVERY evening! He accepted requests, and if he wasn’t familiar with the ...
