Norwegian Romantic Cruises Reviews

It's been my dream to visit Hawaii. I've been bugging my husband for the past 20 years and it finally came into fruition. In as much as I didn't want to do a cruise, it was definitely the biggest bang for my buck -- plus the chance to visit several locations. We arrive in Honolulu three days prior to joining the cruise. We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Waikiki Beach. Great location - a ...

I chose this cruise due to the itinerary, including Greenland, The Lofoten Islands of Norway, and The Shetlands. Before the cruise even began, Greenland and the Lofoten ports were dropped with no explanation, and the Shetland stop was canceled after we had literally arrived. There were supposed to be no sea days, but we ended up spending 20% of the cruise on sea days. Absolutely nothing to do on ...

The cruise originally had a stop in Greenland, but somewhere between inquiring and booking, this stop was removed from the itinerary which was somewhat disappointing. There are television screens in a lot of the bars that play a 24 hour sports channel. This would have been worth an extra point, but in none of the bars did they allow the volume to be on. Given the programming of the sports ...

About the Reviewer: I’m a middle-aged American male who traveled solo on this, my 57th voyage. I have sailed primarily on NCL with over 30 voyages and a handful of cruises with Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, MSC and Carnival. This was my 32nd voyage with NCL and my first since major changes were implemented. My last NCL voyage was on the Norwegian Gem in January 2023. My last voyage before this ...

My husband and I wanted to try cruising out of Boston, a port local to us, and to try out Norwegian after already having sailed on Carnival (10 years ago to Canada from NYC) and Royal Caribbean (to Alaska last year). We travelled with another couple who were on their first cruise ever. We all enjoyed ourselves, aided by the mostly smooth sailing, pleasant weather, enjoyable itinerary, and great ...

So, I tried Norwegian for my birthday and Norwegian needs to do better. The dining is subpar. Even worse there a barely any restaurant options. The cabins are extremely small, really for one person, there were 3 of us. And to make things worse, we were at two of our ports of call for maybe 5 hrs! Oh and in addition to the very small cabins, if you want to watch TV, there are barely any channels to ...

It took 3 hours to get to our cabin from the time boarding was scheduled. The food selection is not the greatest, majority of the food have pork (not much selection for those who don’t eat pork). The entertainment options are limited to music and other things that are not of interest to me. Majority of the staff are not the friendly compared to other cruise ships i have been on. The unlimited wifi ...

We have been on 5 prior cruises with Carnival. This was our first time with Norwegian. The biggest difference between Carnival and this NCL Sky was the quality of the food and the age of the passengers. Carnival seemed to have a younger crowd, while NCL seemed to have older families and a handful of children. In our opinion, NCL's food was higher quality and we did not tire of the choices. The Sky ...

We booked this cruise 1 1/2 years ago when it was supposed to be the new ship, Viva. It wasn't finished due to supply chain issues and the Getaway went in it's place. There were well over 4K people on this ship AND 1500 children. Way too many people. I thought the food at Savor, Tropicana, and Taste were really good. We would upgrade and get the Cagney Steak for $15 upcharge. There were so many ...

We sailed on NCL Getaway in July and August 2023 on a cruise from Lisbon, Portugal to Southampton, England. My wife and I are in our 60s and have cruised over 30 times with 9 of those on NCL. Overall we enjoyed this cruise although there were some irritating aspects. EMBARK: Embarkation in Lisbon was very smooth. We arrived at 1130am and were onboard the ship within 15 minutes (by 2pm we ...
