Cruised the mediterranean to italy and greece. Let start with the ship. Not the top of the line when it comes to luxury. Staterooms are smaller than any other line we’ve been on. On to the food. breakfast never charged. Some may see that as a good thing but would have enjoyed a morning with pancakes eggs over easy and sausage patties. In their defense you could get eggs over easy at the omelette ...
On this cruise, I learned that you get what you pay for! For the price that I paid as a solo traveller, the cruise was just barely OK, so in a way, I have to admit that it's nice that there are choices for bargain hunters, but personally, I will use more caution when booking a cruise in the future, as this cruise, food, ship and choice of activities did not meet my expectations. I am a rather ...
I gave this cruise two stars based on:
Alaska and Glacier Bay are breathtaking.
Room steward was attentive.
Dining room staff, specialty dining staff, and a couple bar tenders are well trained and seemed to enjoy their jobs.
Purchased priority embarkation for $199 which included breakfast room service. The man that delivered our breakfast was pleasant and enjoyable.
Teppanyaki had ...
The BOGO airfare worked well for us. Check in was a breeze. Our ocean view room was fine & kept clean. We enjoyed the entertainment. All the servers, bar tenders & personnel went out of their way to make our trip enjoyable. Two of our ports were cancelled in Halifax & St John due to weather. We had an extra sea day & stop in Portland MA. Also we couldn't tender in Martha's Vineyard. ...
I have mixed feelings about this cruise. I've only been on two cruises prior to this and both were with Carnival to the Bahamas.
FIRST IMPRESSION - The port in Seattle was dirty. The check-in process was long, which is usually par for the course. When I finally got checked in and on board the ship I couldn't even go to my room because it wasn't ready. When my room was finally ready they ...
Make sure your doorway isn't used for the cleaning cart with laundry, dirty plates & glasses, garbage etc most daily hrs. Terrible system! Rip off $10 charge for ANY room service on top of grat. Burger buffet is always the same- no variety except for a few Indian dishes. No am turkey bacon or sausage that other lines serve. All beef items were low quality. No cream for coffee. No good movies & ...
After more than 30 years of cruising on all the major cruise lines, I now think that Norwegian Cruise Lines has become the best value in the industry, especially for those who prefer to cruise solo. While legacy cruise lines seem hostile to singles (usually charging solos 200%, but couples get a discount on the second passenger), NCL is the opposite and offers solo cruisers regular cabins with no ...
We chose NCL based on word of mouth from reviews and family. We wanted to leave from New York and we're hoping to visit Canada. We had already visited some of the places on the itinerary so top advantage of those days to explore the Escape since it was our first cruise.
We stayed in a Balcony Suite on the 12th floor and were very pleased with the size and comfort of the room. You did not feel ...
Just got back from back-to-back cruises on the Jade. For the life of me, I cannot understand the negative reviews some people write, complaining about the staff, the food, the entertainment, etc. I am guessing these are people you could not please no matter what you did. I am a Sapphire level cruise with NCL. I really enjoyed my time on the Jade. The food was excellent, both in the specialty ...
Norwegian Getaway is a ship that is totally centred on it's mainly USA clientele. We weren't expecting that - for a no-fly cruise from/to Southampton encompassing mainly Northern Europe. There were no concessions to it's UK passengers in terms of catering (no British back bacon - just the dreadful American stuff. No HP sauce, no Marmite, no skimmed milk) Minor niggles I accept - but without ...
