Not sure why this ship gets so much heat on here, I regretted reading this a few days before the cruise.
Yes its a quirky ship, but its really quite a fun one too. The Caribbean sailings have been full at capacity, so of course there have been some lines. Famously the upstairs wave bar, but the bartenders work very quickly and work very very hard. Serving multiple people at one time, the lines ...
Our cruise experience started off with a bad note right from the start. This is my 3rd cruise first on Norwegian. Connecting with the app was a nightmare sending me to customer service right off. Was told the new Wi-Fi will not be available for several hours because they were changing accounts from the previous cruise. Several hours later it wasn’t much better. We found out in order to keep in ...
Chosen for value and step up from Carnival. Mistake! Food quality was poor. Main dining and buffet were decent. Brazilian was bad. Especially for the price. Casino was horrible. Lost $80 in video poker machine and it locked up. Attendant would not show us the ticket and neither would the manager. Cabin staff, wait staff and bartenders were excellent. Ports were good. Definitely go to the zoo in ...
Ncl assigned me cabin (9104) supposedly ocean view, but actually a totally obstructed view. i could not change cabins. customer service essentially told me, "tough. you aren't the first passenger to complain about this cabin." cabin steward didn't deliver my latitudes stuff timely. i had to chase him down. long lines everywhere on the ship. impossible to get reservations to shows because we ...
We were so disappointed on our cruise on Norwegian Epic . We had a balcony suite and had to move around in single file! The room was not always cleaned and they told us they only had decaf coffee for cabins ! Our friends were also in a balcony suite and could not find life preservers in their cabin . After two days one of stewards found under the bed ! They notified the steward several days before ...
sailed on 1/14/2024 out of port canaveral. This was my first cruise by myself. My friends normally make the cruise plans and tell me what to book. I just booked one of the cheapest cruises within my time frame and went this year alone.
As many reviews have noted, it was at capacity. This was the longest lines I have waited in on any cruise before to get drinks at a bar. You expect it to get ...
This was my first cruise ever. We had a girls trip with 13 ladies. I was not part of the reservation process so I can't comment on that. My impression of the ship overall is tired. They say it's been "refurbished" but that's not true. We had a balcony cabin on level 11. The bathrooms have wood panel walls, wall mounted ashtrays in the toilet room and only 1 electrical outlet with 2 plugs for ...
A mediocre cruise experience overall.
Pros: Cabin steward did a good job. Nice whiskey selection. Gym is nice (especially the steam sauna in the locker room). Cigar room is great. Sushi restaurant was pretty good.
Cons: Food was just ok overall (even in specialty restaurants). Shows in main theater were "meh." The biggest problem was the service in bars and restaurants: inexplicably, ...
I chose this cruise because it was out of N.Y. and we didn't have to fly. also didn't want to take a longer 10 day cruise, this one was only 5 days. Which worked for us.
Embarkation : This was terrible on pervious cruises we would just arrive at the time we selected and walk right on. Not so on this one, they didn't let anyone board the ship until 12:30. Sat crammed in the cruise terminal ...
Recently went on a cruise on the Norwegian Jade recommended by friends.
Over all the experience was good except for my stateroom (obstructed view).
I have over 30 years of cruising experience with other cruise lines. And have obstructed view cabins in the past. I was not prepared for the cabin assigned to me. Stateroom had 2 small windows, view being blocked by a lifeboat. I could not see ...
