Worst holiday ever

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

Out first cruise for a special occasion, everyone on the ship told us 'this is really bad, worst cruise we've been on, please don't let it put you off it isn't usually like this'. I don't know where to start as most of the other reviews have said everything. I echo their opinions. When we booked the cruise over the phone they said we need to pay £372 gratuities while booking the cruise, they ...

Most disorganised and chaotic cruise we have ever been on. It was a disaster from start to finish. The boarding process was a disaster, hundreds of passengers were kept queuing in the sun with 40 Oc temperatures. We had to drag our luggage as they were not taken off us on arrival. Ports of call were abandoned and many days at sea added. In Richards bay the ship moored in a cold yard covering the ...

We are experienced and mature cruising couple who choose our cruises based on the location and ports we want to visit, and we like to get away from the Scottish winter to get some heat and sunshine. Of the options available to visit Southern Africa and Madagascar, the NCL cruise offered the best variety of locations on what looked like an exciting itinerary. We had only cruised with NCL once ...

Having had a wonderful cruise previously with NCL we booked another cruise. Service and food were excellent and all members of staff went out of their way to be helpful, once we had embarked. Embarkation was a total shambles, exacerbated by failing to assist my husband, a disabled passenger. We had booked special assistance but this was denied. Passengers in the higher class of accommodation ...

This was our first cruise with NCL and will certainly be our last, the cruise company are the fawlty towers of cruises, but not funny., Where to begin. Before the cruise even started they changed the ports of call we would no longer be visting East Africa which was one of the highlights of the trip. No option to cancel and get a refund. This also meant an extra day at sea. Fast forward to ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

This ship always seemed very crowded. The embarkation was very disorganized.Since we sailed out of NYC it was Cold and then cool for several days. The indoor space is very lined with indoor seating extremely limited. This is compounded by the open Casino that billows smoke smell into multiple other areas. The general impression of the crew was harried to unhappy, as it seemed the crew was very ...

We won a cruise for two through the casino, and it was wonderful. You had the typical elderly farts acting all doom and gloom, and the five dollar millionaires acting as though they have class, but after navigating through that, we made the best out of it. I highly recommend NCL and Getaway. The spa was great, the food was excellent. The specialty restaurants were fine, but the ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We had booked this cruise kind of last minute, was this or a west coast / Mexico. We had even considered a different line because of the poor experience we had on the Jewel but thought...maybe that was a one off, give NCL another chance? Very glad we did :) Embarkation in Manhattan was less than great but considering the terminal was built when there were far less people on each ship it wasn't ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

This is a lovely cruise ship and the staff are very kind and accommodating. We enjoyed the cruise. There are a few things that could have been better and briefly they are: The pool area/ hot tubs were overrun by what I can only call a rough crowd. Picture four hot tubs full of drunk obese people who seldom leave the tubs. They just sit in an overflowing tub all day while the empty beer cans and ...

As far as NCL ships go I liked the Getaway as I also liked her sister the Breakaway. I found the ship roomy with lots of nice spaces and lots of things to do. I use the Spice H2O during the day because it is adult only and the service there is always good. The complementary restaurants were excellent yet redundant on a 10 day cruise. The specialty restaurants were very good and food was plentiful. ...
