Winter because it was the only time my brother could cruise for our mom's 90th birthday.
As Haven guests with mom in wheelchair and on oxygen, embarking was horrible. Stuck all of us in a small area waiting to board. Way to many people in a closed space.
Haven area is excellent! Butler and concierge were top notch. Only issue is now have so many Haven guests the Haven restaurant could ...
The staff was good but that’s about all I can compliment. Had a time to check in at the port and it took over 3 hours to get on the boat. Paid a lot of money for a cruise that was half the price at another time. No room in the kids camp so I paid full price for a child and they had nothing to do. The buffet was just OK and any of the sit down restaurants were slow. Dinner was no less than 2 hours ...
We chose this cruise because it fit our vacation schedule. It was out first ever cruise and it was a wonderful experience! Our balcony rooms were lovely and spacious. The food and drinks (drink package) were outstanding and so was the entertainment and service. We LOVED the Manhattan, O'Sheehan's, Le Bistro, Bayamo, and Teppanyaki. The shows were outstanding! We saw Choir of Men, Company of Men, ...
We chose this cruise due to school vacation timing and we loved our last cruises on the Breakaway so the Escape was a win win. We chose NCL because we love the cruise line. With that said, the embarkation process was very disorganized and for the first time, there were lines forming all over the place. We did not get onto the ship without being redirected three times and shoved out of the way in ...
We chose this cruise out of new York to get some sun and away. We have been on 6 other ncl cruises due to the free style and no ties and jackets required for my husband won us over. We knew this was a smaller cruise and had been on the pearl before so was not worried. Well it started out fine but noted to have a lot kids which surprised us at this time of year. Frequent knocking on our cabin ...
Family wanted this line/ship.
Checking in at the NYC terminal took morr than 1 1/2hrs. Very disorganized. I have sailed over 65 cruises & this was the worst.
The WiFi was TERRIBLE. Constantly getting disconnected.
Food left much to be desired. The Bistro was very good. Cagney’s good. Stateroom was comfortable & keep clean. Very good attendant. The planning for disembarking was ...
I chose this cruise due to the itinerary from NY. I loved St Kitts, Anguilla, and St. Thomas/St. Johns. I could have passed on St. Lucia and San Juan. I would have preferred 4 full days at port rather than 3 full days and 2 half-days. Sadly, we had to tender at St. Lucia which reduced a full day to a half-day..no fault of NCL.
Cabin:
Selected Obstructed view due to value. I do not ...
Went with a group of family and Friends, 18 of us total. It was our first time going out of NYC, definitely more hectic than leaving from Baltimore. We had a terrible experience waiting for our hotel to pick us up from the port, but I do realize that’s not the ships fault.
Took too long to eat in the sit down dining rooms. Buffet is crazy most of the time, seating was not easy to find but I ...
We left my on-time expecting to arrive in San Juan at 4pm however dueto a medical emergency onboard we arrived at 11am at the next port they asked us to delay our arrival time by one hour overall a good cruise although we did get an extra sea day due to Gail force winds in the Hudson bay the beach at St Thomas was great took a tour of one of the other islands food was delicious staff was ...
There was something for each of our 7 family members to do all day and night. One could be relaxing and laying in the sun while the others on excursions, the bar, an activity or at the casino.
We ate and drank the whole time and found all the food and drink delicious. We liked our drinks a certain way and they were done perfectly! We were accommodated to the best of their abilities!
They ...
