What a nightmare! My husband and I children and grandchildren went on this cruise for a festive holiday. Instead, it was one of the worst cruises we’ve ever had. We have cruised extensively on many different lines. I have never written a review before, but felt I needed to let people know let’s start with embarkation. it was very chaotic, poorly run. No one to tell you where to go and get them ...
I read the reviews and took a chance as some folks just like to complain. Learned my lesson. This is a pretty ship and most of the crew were very good. the only sign of age I saw was rust on our balcony. Everything was kept clean. We LOVED the Beatles show. These are the reasons we would never go back on this ship. I should note that the ship was at capacity and to be fair, some things may ...
The service was definitely lacking on this ship. The adult pool area had one or two waiters that would come around every several hours to take a drink order. Most of the time if you wanted a drink, you had to go wait in a long line to get one. They were very slow to pick up the empty glasses. The big screen in that area played repeat soccer for seven days straight, and the speakers were not ...
This was my first Norwegian cruise. We have taken 10 Carnival cruises, 1 Princess, 1 MSC and 1 Disney.
So, I am familiar with cruises. It was me, my husband and our two teens (12 and 15)
We were expecting this to be nice, so maybe that is why I was so disappointed. And, it wasn't just one of the items I am pointing out- it was just a combination of everything that really disappointed me ...
I recently sailed on NCL Epic, and while there were pockets of excellent service, the overall impression was marred by inconsistent drink service. It felt as if the staff considered patrons a burden, a sentiment echoed by many fellow guests. Despite some positive experiences, the general consensus among passengers was disappointment, citing a noticeable decline compared to previous voyages and ...
First off the staff and crew were amazing,super happy and friendly,most of the time singing.
Buffet was kind of flavourless first day scrambled eggs were not even cooked.
The fresh fruits were incredible would have been nice more selection.
Vegetarian options not the best,and not much seafood.
Came into some bad weather and told we would stay at see then return to port.

You have access to a small part of the ship altough it is a 5000 passengers vessel. A lot of place is taken up by the cabins, so the public spaces, inside and out, are really small and always really really crowded. A lot of people were sit on the carpet in public places. We were 4500 passengers when cruising, and when I think it could be more with triple and quadruple occupancy, I couldn't imagine ...
The ship was awesome. The food was amazing. We were in cabin and we discovered live bed bugs on day 2. We brought them to guest services and they confirmed this and took all our clothes to be cleaned and moved our room. We were happy to move…however there should have been some compensation for the terrible experience at 1 am having to move rooms and all of our clothing taken from us to be cleaned. ...
My family and friends group of 6 chose this cruise as our holiday presents and were so very excited for our first vacation in years.
Days prior to boarding, a group of 300 in the Facebook group were discussing the inclement weather forecast and getting wary. We all figured due to the forecast worsening as we neared closer to departure, we would either be canceled or rerouted. Morning of ...
We sailed from New York on the Getaway on 12/16/23 with a two day stopover in Bermuda. This was the week of the winter storm where ports were closed and ships were being diverted to areas other than their planned itineraries. All ships except for the Getaway. Norwegian knew before we left New York that the port of Bermuda was closed. On a good day it’s difficult to dock but during a storm ...
