We were so excited for our family cruise and our anniversary. It was a first cruise for most of our group. Being with family and seeing some beautiful places was fabulous but the cruise itself was far from what we expected.
Boarding the ship at our scheduled time is a joke we are packed in like sardines and everyone is crowded in such a small space. However once on board we found we could not ...
Norwegian has always been a must on my cruising lists for how nice they are. I figured this would be perfect for me and my husband since it was his first time ever going on a cruise and took years to convince. The crew itself were great! Ran thin but always so happy and nice. The ship was very outdated over booked and upgraded balcony room beds were just two cots pushed together. Sanitation was ...
Because i used to love ncl. After this cruise not so much. I am almost saphire and probably won’t make it to it. The food was awful. Pasta e fagioli was clear broth with flour in it. French onion ,onion and broth with a crouton and a spoon of cheese.
Cagneys surf and turf, lobster burnt from broiler and filet was tough as leather. Still charged me for it.
Room made up 3 times in whole ...
My son purchased this cruise and i was excited to get away for a week and relax…wrong!! After waiting in line to get through the drop off, security and finally boarding the boat, we waited 10 minutes for a packed elevator. Upon entering our small tiny cabin i noticed how dated it was, the two small 30 year old twin sunken in mattresses, the toilet was in a shower stall and would not flush for a ...
Friends of mine booked this cruise and asked us to join them. I have heard such good things about cruises but this was not my experience. The ship was clean but is very small.
Boarding unorganized
Paid for priority access but that was of little benefit.
Seafood canapes delivered to cabin on day we were in port and off the ship. No clue how long they were sitting non-refrigerated. Threw ...
If you like sitting in your cabin, the norwegian epic is the ship for you. There were so many people on the ship, we waited 20-30 for a drink at every bar, for anything other than the buffet there was an hour and a half wait from the moment they opened, we couldn’t get a seat on the pool deck, and couldn’t get into any shows (even showing up 45 minutes early). On sea days, it was almost impossible ...
This was my third cruise and first on Norwegian. I will never book this ship again and will be hesitant to use Norwegian in the future.
The Good: Staff was friendly and attentive. The cabin was OK and we had no issues with an inside stateroom. Price was good and included unlimited booze (no top shelf), 150 minutes internet and one dining upgrade. Good bang for the buck. Decent Buffet. ...
We cruise often and have mainly stayed with Norwegian so we have achieved some status that adds a few perks. This was an amazing itinerary mainly to see Antarctica and that did not disappoint. It should be on everyone's bucket list.
The good -
We like the size of the Star. Not a mega ship, holding about 2500 passengers.
The staff was friendly and helpful without exception.
The ...
We had a great experience a few years ago on the Breakaway so we just assumed it would follow into this cruise. Not the case......... We had 10 of us on this cruise ship and all feel the same.
The Jade has nothing to do for the kids (we had our 2 grandchildren ages 4 and 6). The activities are blah. Bingo and deal or no deal which cost around $50 a person to play. The evening shows are ...
We chose this cruise for its easy embarkation close to home & itinerary visiting Asian capitals & islands. We travelled with another couple whom we cruise with but had not been able to for 4 years due to the pandemic. Though we have visited most of the ports on this cruise through our years of travel, we were keen to revisit to enjoy the food and local massages.
NCL is our cruise ship of ...
