This was the 7th cruise for me and the 8th for my wife. This was the first time on Norwegian for either of us. Other cruises have been with Carnival and Royal Caribbean. Port stops included Porta Plata, DR, St. John, Antigua, St. Thomas, USVI, San Juan, PR and the cruise line’s private island, Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas. There were two complete sea days on this nine-day cruise.
We booked ...
Destinations was top of mind as we explored the many choices of cruise lines. A Caribbean cruise was our top choice with as many ports as possible. Norwegian Cruise Line Getaway offered a 9-day cruise to the Dominican Republic, Saint Thomas, Saint Maarten, Antigua, San Jaun Porta Rico and of course the NCL private island in the Bahamas. With only 2 full days at sea, it seemed the best value for ...

The Sun is an old ship, the room was adequate size, although the beds were old and we had to ask for additional padding for the mattress which helped some. During the night they turned the AC up, and the room became warm. It was warm all over the ship. the rooms have plenty of storage.
Verry poor food quality, and buffet line was also the passage walkway which caused ...
We joined a group of friends on this 11 day Alaska cruise. We have done several Alaska cruises and it is a favorite of ours. Most of our group had never been on a cruise before and/or had never been on an Alaska cruise. NCL started on the wrong foot. This was the ships first cruise to Alaska in 2023. They had just come off a bad stretch where the ship lost power and had other problems. After ...
I cruised with Norwegian about 7 years ago we booked a suite, had a butler it was a wonderful experience. This time so disappointed. First the butler service was very disappointing and I do not blame the butler they have them covering more rooms than ever and assign them many other tasks, they are overworked to the max when you ask for something special you almost here them sigh. My last cruise ...
Deltas:
Found what we thought was a great deal on a bucket list trip to Ireland.
NCL lacked any communication to the passengers.
There was no guidance for how to get from the tender location into the city of the port.
There was no alert to smoking in the ship in the casino. The smoke, cancer causing, was in the entire back of the ship. This included several floors!
Deal breaker ...
The itinerary for this cruise was to circumnavigate Ireland it was this fact along with drinks package that we chose this sailing. Apart from one port Killy Begs the visits were good.
Fellow passengers were great company and that was all I can say positively.
Food was just OK the ship is quite tiered and the ocean view staterooms small.
The every day staff waiters cabin stewards all ...
I just returned from an NCL cruise around Ireland which left on the 11th May 2023. The price was good and I booked the Free at Sea upgrade something I normally don't do.
First let me say the crew and staff on board were very friendly and despite seeming short staff did there very best. Most of the food was good but there was some misses mostly with the deserts (cold molten chocolate cake) and ...
My wife and I picked this cruise to see Ireland for are 35th Anniversary and my wife's 60th birthday.
We boarded the ship at 12:00 pm none of the bars where open, we looked at the type of alcohol and decided to update are drink package to premium plus, what they had on the menu is not what they served,(They said it didn't come in)
Could not get into are room until 3:30 no bags until 7:00 ...
First, I would like to say I've only cruised with Royal Caribbean (16 times) and it's the only cruise line I know. My lovely wife wanted something other than the boring Western Caribbean itinerary that's offered from our home port in Galveston TX. We've traveled to Florida ports many times, to link up with RCL ships providing better destinations. We also hold shares with all three companies, so ...
