Good points - staff always a smile, chat, helpful, jean our cabin person very good. Bar staff at shakers amazing, speedy remembered what you were drinking funny always a smile. Lots of bars and restaurants choices.
Bad points - Sheehan's huge bar often only 2 staff serving you can wait ages to get served. Very noisy.
Maintenance work on balcony lots of dust, flakes of paint all over ...
We purchased this cruise (window room) on previous black friday sale. Online it did not show that there would be anything blocking the view. The room we received looked over the crew's break deck with no view of the water. When blinds were open, crew could look right into our room. On top of that the window was 1/2 full of water that sloshed around. AND, there was a sign to keep the blinds ...
On a full ship, we found the service excellent in every bar and eatery. All restaurants serving beautiful food & huge selection in restaurants & buffet, so could not fault anything
The entertainment was excellent with some of the best shows we had seen on any cruise ship So much to enjoy The only restaurant not rated by other travellers was the Chinese, so we avoided that as our favourite was ...
Was surprised at all the poor reviews of this ship. We had a wonderful experience.
Middle aged couple with 40+ cruises, Platinum Status on NCL. We love the older ships because they look and feel like actual ships and we tend to avoid the new and glitzy 'floating hotels'. No shade, just a preference.
The ship is 23 years old and clearly a 'training ship'. A lot of staff stated it was their ...
Baltimore:
This was the first every NCL cruise from Baltimore and our first cruise on NCL (or from Baltimore). 10 days from Baltimore to Quebec with stops in Martha's Vineyard, Boston, Bar Harbor, Halifax, Sydney, Charlottetown, Saguenay, Quebec City (fly back from Montreal). Baltimore is both the closest port to us and by far the most chill. Super easy access. We parked at a hotel with ...
My wife contracted Covid aboard the Norwegian Spirit during cruise of Alaska and Hawaii. She died aboard the Norwegian Spirit on Friday, September 8, 2023. She died in the ship's infirmary one day after being admitted for breathing difficulty. The treatment I received from the crew and the cruise line has been absolutely deplorable. It is evil. It was mind-boggling and made the worst experience of ...
I've mostly sailed in Mexico and Western Caribbean. I've always wanted to do the Western Mediterranean. I found this big ship beautiful and well maintained. Everything was polished and clean. The service was great as always in the restaurants, room service and attendant. We had a balcony room which was slightly smaller than the NCL cruiseships, but the balcony was generous. The twin beds really ...
We chose this ship and cruise line because we cruised 4 years ago on this ship and really enjoyed it. This time, however, was a completely different experience. We had been delayed getting to Venice to meet the ship because of Air Traffic Control glitch that had affected the UK but we had booked through NCL so they got us alternative flights the next day to meet the ship in Dubrovnik. We were ...
When booking our honeymoon we thought that the price of NCL outweighed the benefits of another more expensive cruise. In hindsight, they are cheap for a reason. The cruise started rough because of some storms which left people waiting in lines for up to 10 hours before boarding the ship. We were lucky and only waited 4 hours after our original check in time. Once on the ship we found out our ...
I’m not gonna lie, but the staff on the cruise was great. Did we miss a port because of of winds, yes. Did the casino kick my butt, yes. But you can’t blame the crew and the staff for that. We were first time cruises , getting our feet wet. But overall, my wife and I enjoyed it. The staff did their best to help those who came first. My best respect came from the bar staff, I was not a typical ...
