Norwegian Family Cruises Reviews

First of all - the staff are amazing. We were never anything other than delighted with the staff and their service, or their pleasantness. The food was also very delightful - we rarely ate in the buffet because frankly, I have zero restraint, but in the dining rooms the food was beautifully presented, sensible portion sizes, excellent temperature and flavour. Our room was lovely - we were on ...

We originally were booked in the Escape, but were cancelled ( with insufficient notice - they had to know earlier this ship wasn't sailing) because of the recent grounding. My sisters and I had vacations dates set and were excited to go so we took the option to transfer to the Breakaway out of New Orleans. This was supposed to be an even exchange ( no additional cost for equal accomodations, yet I ...

A nice transatlantic cruise. I will cut NCL some slack as I know cruising is just resuming and things are still pretty unsettled. Besides we missed a port (Azores) due to bad weather so we had (too) many sea days which became quite monotonous. We've taken a repositioning cruise on NCL twice before, so I can compare to previous years. My main complaint is that the food was definitely worse than ...

We have cruised many times with NCL. I’m a platinum member and we have always enjoyed our previous cruises, however ;this cruise was not not up to par. Every concern had required two or more calls to get someone to address the problems in our ADA balcony cabin. The shower flooded, banging in the wall entailed completely breaking down our sliding door and adjacent wall, and the shower door ...

We just returned from the Epic transatlantic. So positives first: Not so many people sailing, approx 1400 on a ship that has the capacity of over 4000 so there was always plenty of seats available in the bars and lounges and the bar and restaurant service was quick and all the staff were friendly. Food was pretty much up to the usual Norwegian Cruise Line standard which is better than some ...

My husband and I sailed back to back cruises aboard the NCL Epic on a 15 day Atlantic crossing in April of 2022 followed up by a 7 day Barcelona round trip. Although, this was not the first time we have sailed aboard the Epic I must say it was no less majestic than it was the first time we boarded the ship. We boarded in New York on April 2nd and embarkation was a breeze. We had already received ...

Went on same ship in January for 11 nights. Pandemic was still on, but getting better. This time, pandemic is much less. Ship does decent job keeping you safe. Wish masks were mandatory inside hallway and elevator. We wore our masks in both One island was canceled because ship had engine issues. Ok, those things happen. But the port was in Mexico where I had planned to do 2 hours of ...

After two years of not taking a vacation, we were ready to go! This same cruise was planned pre-pandemic. Needless to say, it was cancelled. When I rescheduled I told my wife that maybe we ought to upgrade to the Haven. She agreed. All the things I've heard about the Haven were proven to be true! From check-in, where we walked right past all the people on line, to disembarkation, where again ...

That was my first drive-in cruise. No airplane from Montreal just drive to NY and find a not to expensive parking spot. We found one at 3 blocks away for 195$ for 7 days. The check-in/boarding was slow, always like that said people around who knew the place. And it was very cold, that was the last polar vortex of the season. Leaving from NY downtown is very fantastic. The 2 first days of the ...

We love NCL for the relaxed, layed back vibe. So glad we don't have to dress for dinner, unless you want to of course. The ship was 60% full, but even if it was 100% I think there would be plenty of space on board. What a wonderful time we had. The ship may be older, but we do prefer a smaller ship and it was very clean and comfortable. The crew was the friendliest and most helpful crew we ...
