What’s going on?

As you can see from other reviews, the organization and communication was very rough. I don’t know why. The lines to get on and off the ship and the waiting times were very long. Most staff seemed either unable or unwilling to control the crowds and the lines. It often felt like neither the crew nor the passengers knew what was going on. For example, the captain cancelled Dublin due to ...

Horrible ! Horrible! The intinerary was amazing and the only saving grace for this cruise. The ship was horrible. Unorganized. Poor customer service. Food OK. Most stressful cruise I have ever taken. Stood in que for 1 hour in windy and cold weather before getting on a tender. Could find no NCL staff to talk to. When we noticed them, they were away from crowd gathered together. Noisy ...

NCL GETAWAY 9/15-10/1 16 DAY WESTERN EUROPEAN CRUISE THE GOOD: The food was uniformly good. Whether in the main dining room, the buffet or the specialty dining rooms I had no complaint. Plentiful servings promptly served. Entertainment was top notch. The dancers in "BURN THE FLOOR" were as energetic as one could imagine. The "MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET" was superb. All 4 of the ...

This was our second cruise. The first was also with Norwegian and went well. Ship arrived on time, docked in places suitable for an easy visit in port. We foolishly thought that was how all cruises might work. Not on the Getaway, which was a mess from the start. Our room was opposite a crew exit, which was left open so that any drunk passenger could use at 2am or 3am. I eventually had to sleep on ...

We completed a northern cruise with two other couples in late September on the NCL Getaway visiting western Europe, Scotland and Iceland. This was our 5th and last NCL cruise The NCL Getaway had too many passengers and not enough staff. The ship had long lineups for leaving the ship especially when Tendering. Most queues getting off the ship were close to an hour long. I spent 45 mins in one ...

First the one pro is the Staff and Customer Service employees were great, alway helpful and freindly. Actually felt sorry for staff as there were so many comlaints by passengers on this cruise. We cruise 3-4 times a year with usually have wonderful things to report not this time. Everything you do on NCL you either have to pay for, or make a reservation for so always missed out on something. The ...

This was my 10th cruise with NCL,all on Breakaway Ships and one Baltic were very good to exceptional experiences. Dawn??? Chose this for itinerary which was very good overall. Buffet food sucked and with tours gathering at 7am theater, didn't open until 6:30. O'Sheehans and Room Service are closed 3:30 am to 6 am and 6:30 respectively. Early riser Topsiders mostly closed due to ...

Before I sailed I looked everywhere for a recent review and could not find one so here is everything I wanted to know. I (49F)have cruised before my daughter (24F) had not, we are from the UK so chose a UK cruise on an older ship, figuring if she liked that then cruising is for her. We sailed from Southampton on the 14th Sept, and ended in Southampton on 24th Sept 2023. We visited ...

We chose this particular cruise and itinerary because we had points to use or lose. (Covid delayed previous plans). We used the NCL option of having them book our flights and our pre and post cruise hotel. We arrived two days prior and stayed two days post. We also booked transfers from airport to hotel, hotel to port, port to hotel, and hotel to airport, through NCL. Those arrangements were ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary because my mom really wanted to go to Orkney. She usually cruises on Oceania and paid quite a lot for a balcony club room hoping it would measure up to her previous experience. She was awfully disappointed by the room and the ship. It was old, smelled terrible and the balcony glass was filthy. No USB, few plugs and a cramped, dark closet with no lighting in ...
