Norwegian Romantic Cruises Reviews

We sailed on the Pearl since it hosted a musical cruise we were interested in. Our balcony cabin on the 9th deck was clean and the bed was comfortable but several maintenance issues were very apparent. We noticed torn wallpaper near where a coat hook had been installed and a light fixture looked liked it had been bounced around a bit and could have used a replacement with something that wasn’t ...

We took my parents for their birthday on the Norwegian Sun…they live in Florida and wanted to sail out of Miami or Ft Lauderdale. I had limited vacation time, and didn’t have many other options to book, so this cruise checked the boxes. We normally sail on Azamara or Celebrity, so we kept an open mind for NCL, knowing it might be a different product. We knew it would be an older ship, but as ...

Ship was over 4 hours late departing. Check in was a disaster, took 3 hours of waiting in lines to board the boat. Also, parking was $315 for the week. Food is beyond terrible. I ate oatmeal and cereal everyday. We even ate at a speciality restaurant, ocean blue, and our meals were disgusting. People next to us were sending them back as well. Savory, taste, tropicana all of the included ...

Received a text while already in nyc saying there was a technical error with the ship preventing the prior cruise from getting to port on-time. My 10am check in was changed to 3-6pm. The lines were horrible, stood in the line for over 3 hours with no bathroom accessibility or seats. I'm on water pills due to a medical issue and was so uncomfortable but I didn't dare to step out of line. People ...

Food was cold and tasteless. We went to the Shanghai Noodle bar expecting fresh hot food and delicious delicate spring rolls. Food was barely warm and the springrolls were more like eggrolls. American diner food was cold and the chicken pot pie was glop in a bowl with 2 pieces of bread (had this on the Escape and it was amazing!) The pasta at Lu Cucina was dry. Nothing like we have ...

I have been on 14 cruises (4 Disney, 4 NCL, 3 Carnival, 2 Tradewinds catamarans, and 1 Costa). I am most disappointed with NCL. The service has gotten worse. I do like the NCL’s ports I’ve sailed (Bermuda, Mexican Pacific, Western Caribbean and Hawaii) but I would have had a better experience visiting those ports with another cruise line, or even sticking to resorts and getting a rental car. As ...

This was my first Norwegian cruise an I enjoyed every minute. The cruise staff was excellent and so accommodating and friendly . I’ve been on over 12 cruises and I have to say, it’s the best so far. The food was excellent with so many delicious choices. I looked forward to hopping up to the bar at Spice H20. Jerry and Vitas were the most fun and friendly bartenders I ever met. They were so ...

NCL is going down the drain. Disorganized embarkation. People running everywhere. Was told to leave luggage at the curb. 2 Pieces of luggage arrived at 5 pm the 3rd one at 10 pm. Disembarkation was a total nightmare. Luggage was supposed to be there at 8.30 am showed up at 12 pm. No NCL Personnel to be seen anywhere. Luggage was picked up by local sea port employes and hand carrried/pulled (2 ...

This was my first cruise, and after this experience will also be my last. We sailed Norwegian Breakaway out of New Orleans on march 10th. This cruise was obviously overbooked, and understaffed. If you wanted to get your child into splash academy, you would have to be in line at the very least an hour early. We waited in line for an hour to see Burn The Floor. We waited in line for at ...

So, my new wife and I wanted to celebrate our 1st year wedding anniversary. We are in older years my wife 64, and me 72. we booked our trip 7 months in advance, of our anniversary. As we live in NW Florida, New Orleans was our departure point. We travelled the day before to be within a 20-mile radius of our day of our departure. Little did we know that our trip was in Spring Break. boarding was ...
