Beware of using NCL for your flights! The flights that NCL scheduled for us were so bad we had to spend an additional $1,700 to book an earlier flight to ensure we would be on the ship when it sailed. This happened despite our asking NCL for different flights in which we would pay the difference in cost. Their answer was no, no, no, many times. The flights they arranged would have arrived in ...
we choose this cruise as a way to explore mediterranean ports italy , france , greece and malta. ship was full capacity excursions were not well organized with a lot of delays late starts traffic , congestion at boat transfer . it took literally hours to get to transfers on tenders and busses . time spent on each excursion was cut short because of an early ship departure . very disappointed of the ...
I choose this cruise because we wanted to cruise the Mediterranean. The ship is beautiful. We usually cruise an inside cabin to save money. When I entered the comforter was not clean. The room looked a bit disheveled. The room steward fixed the problem and was very nice. However 10 days we had cleaning carts outside our rooms in the hallway. It must have been where they stored them.

I've always wanted to go on a cruise and we finally managed it. What an experience. Our budget only allowed for an inside cabin but what a nice surprise. The cabin, though small was exceptionally well laid out and comfortable with ample room for our clothes, luggage and necessities. Eggie, the young lady assigned to the upkeep of our cabin, was so pleasant and helpful and took good care of our ...
I was told that NCL offered some of the best cruises around. I was a bit sceptical but today I can say that it was a wonderful experience. Food was very good every where you go. Complementary restaurants are top notch. Drink package is a must and worth every penny spent on it. Entertainment and activities were all the time. Never had a problem with ques or food shortage, ship kept in top ...
We gave sailed on NCL over a dozen times and found on the Breakaway that standards have fallen and you now get less for your money.

My daughter and I did the 10 day cruise to Italy and Greece. It was GREAT UNTIL... a kid poop in the ADULT pool. I get it things happen. And I am pretty cool with those things that do happen. However what NCL failed to do was follow, implement and apply their own rules, regulations and policies. "ADULT POOL ONLY" "NO SMOKING" signs were posted where they were in plane sight.
We booked our ...
We wanted to visit Italy and Greece. The breakaway was a little disappointing. We have cruised on ncl many times. Maintenance seems to be lacking. The curtain on the balcony door was ripped and not attached to the rod, the balcony door itself did not operate as it should. It was very difficult to open and close. The brown/tan rug was worn, the drawer under the couch could not close completely, ...
7 time I experience cruising,and in general this cruise I can’t give more than 2 stars,10 day’s going to Greece and Italy…besides the diner food that I was satisfied,all other things was very poor,hardly non flowerpot,or planter in any place at the ship,the inside beauty of the ship under average,I purchased a package drink up to $15 each drink,are you believe that’s not included bottle water or ...
