This cruise was my 5th Norwegian cruise and I must say I was very disappointed.
The ship appeared to be a training ship. I understand new staff must be trained but it was there was clearly a huge amount of crew who were unable to assist us when we needed help. We were shocked when we first entered our room, it had clearly not been cleaned from the last inhabitants staying in our room. The ...
Boarding and disembarkation were both very smooth. Friendly crew members. We're a couple in our late 60's so didn't use the water slides or ropes course. Enjoyed the shows, especially Million Dollar Quartet. Such energy!!. We had the drink package, mudslides are yummy. Ate in specialty restaurants 3 times. La Cucina was very good, Cagney's was excellent, and the Japanese Habacti was fine. ...
We chose this ship purely by chance and it ended up being the best decision. Getaway is absolutely beautiful, not perfect, but very close.
My husband and I were in room 9212 which is a standard balcony in the middle of the ship. The room was very clean and organized and our room steward Pelom made sure it remained that way for the duration. The bed was very comfortable and clean. The pillows ...
People say that taking a cruise is one of the most realxing things you can ever do. And that’s right. NCL has a reputation of creating one of the best cruises of all time. Stepping into embarkation, you are immediately showered with greetings from crew members who are so helpful in getting you to your room. The food is absolutely amazing. First the garden cafes, all you can eat. The chefs make ...
This cruise is completely outdated and terrible. Our room smelled terrible and when we asked for it to be cleaned no one helped us. The top deck where the pool is smells like pee all over the wooden floor and they do not ID. I met a group of high school kids between 17-19 years old that had black outs and alcohol poisoning due to the amount of drinks they were given. The food is also very very ...
My wife and I went on our last cruise the NCL Epic 8 years ago. We had a great time on it but our biggest complaint was the drink prices. Fast forward to Aug 2018 we find the NCL sky that was reasonably priced and included drinks into the trip. This cruise was amazing and so much fun. We absolutely loved every minute of it. The food, again, was absolutely fantastic with a pretty diverse selection ...
The physical condition of the ship is excellent; certainly does not look like a 19 year old vessel. Maintenance and cleaning staff are working constantly to keep her in superb condition. The one place that does need a lot of attention is the family pool/hot tub areas on 12 forward. There was a lot of mold and the area was dirty.
Many of the hot tubs were way too hot and stayed empty. ...
Ship is terribly dated and worn out, power outlets couldn't even hold the plugs in place. The bed was a nightmare! it was 2 beds pushed together but with nothing holding them in place so they kept separating in the middle of the night. After multiple attempts to get the bed to be fixed we just gave up. We contacted guest services about this on 4 different instances and every single time they said ...
The all-inclusive drinks to celebrate our 30th birthdays was what drew us to book this cruise. The cruise was so beautiful, the crew were very nice and funny, all of the activities were fun and entertaining. Our cabin was a balcony. There cabin was small but functional and we didn't need anything bigger because we were always out at an activity or exploring the ship. The staff kept us entertained ...
We enjoyed our cruise to Cuba; however Norwegian shortened our time in Cuba by a half day without communication or the option to re-book. Since spending time in Cuba was our sole purpose for this cruise, I deducted 2 stars.
I had a lot of questions about cruising to Cuba so I hope this information helps others.
1. It is hot and humid in August. I live in humid Missouri, but I was drenched in ...
