Room was so disgustingly dirty I fell ill and got huves and a cold sore. Wings in o’Sheehans were wet with few, wet skin. Got food poisoning the 2nd last night. As a solo traveller in a room and not the solo studios, the solo travel group meet-ups were in a locked area of the solo studios so, if you were in a room, suite, etc you could not get in to attend. As a solo traveller I was placed at ...
I usually cruise Virgin (2x) , and i needed a getaway on something different. NCL Escape was so much fun,as soon as you find where you're going. Food was good,too . I only ate at The Garden Cafe. There was plenty for everyone there . Entertainment was top notch. The 2 comedians i saw,and especially the Fleetwood Mac band and The quartet ' Blue Travelers' They were amazingly good. I loved the vibe ...
Overall good experience on my wife and I 2nd NCL cruise. Surprisingly very friendly staff made up for some minor flaws in the overall experience. No matter what cruise lines we vacation with, each has its pros/cons.
Pros:
- Boarding around 12:30 pm was pretty swift and was on the ship pretty early.
- Friendly staff throughout the week
- Self-exit with our luggage around 7:30 AM was ...
This was my 2nd cruise on the Getaway, having previously sailed on a 7-night Caribbean cruise.
I chose this cruise because of the unique itinerary being very late in the season for a ship to reposition to Europe. As a single, it caught my attention as there was no single supplement.
The pre-cruise preparation was simple enough, and entering in all information online went smoothly. ...
We took our first transatlantic cruise and had two rooms for a family of seven. We haven’t cruised since before Covid. Based on the reviews I was quite worried. Concerns were all overstated. I am at a loss for all the negative reviews. As far as I can tell, some people just cannot create their own fun. I was worried about overcrowding. Nothing of the sort. Granted, it was a transatlantic ...
I sailed with my sister and brother-in-law, both frequent cruisers, too. None of us had ever sailed on Norwegian before. But we had heard good things and chose this cruise because it was a "good deal" (or so we thought), we wanted to visit Portugal, and doing another trans-Atlantic seemed like a good idea.
We enjoyed ourselves in spite of Norwegian, not because of them. There were a few ...
Hello, I have never written a review like this, EVER. Actually in over 30 cruises this may be the second one. We are Sapphire Latitude status, that’s a lot of NCL cruises. We did a back to back. June 3 - 15 Port Canaveral to Lisbon, 12 nights - June 15 - 24 Lisbon to Rome, 9 nights.
BA Balcony cabin, room was a good location and we enjoyed it. Room steward was nice. NCL has stopped the ...
We chose this cruise because of the Atlantic crossing then stayed onboard beyond Lisbon for the destinations in the Mediterranean (21 day cruise, total). My wife and I are Sapphire members with NCL. We hadn’t cruised with NCL for about 2 years. We have been experiencing the decline of many aspects of NCL cruising for the last 6 or 7 years. Their customer service and food quality has been declining ...
I spent my first Transatlantic cruise onboard the Getaway. I was already familiar with the ship, having taken her a few years ago for an 8-Day adventure through Scandinavia, Russia & the Baltic, which was incredible. The ship is quite comfortable and this time I was a bit nervous, as my bid for a balcony room was not accepted and for the first time in my half dozen cruises, I was in steerage (5th ...
Long time 4 Star Holland Customers. Picked NCL because of the itinerary(transatlantic crossing) and price. We’re worried about being on a 4000 passenger ship with lots of kids (youngest kids on Holland are 45). Worries never realized. Layout of ship with lots of small ares, including a dozen or more restaurants and two dozen bars never felt like we were on a mega ship. Children were a delight. ...
