First I want to acknowledge there were aspects of this trip that were out of NCLs control- very rough seas, day late to Bermuda, incoming cruise was delayed.
That’s where it stops. This cruise was RAMMED. An absolute mess. I do not understand how this boat is allowed to have this capacity. The first day was miserable, hours waiting for the rooms to be ready, my luggage was lost, the bed was ...
This is a terrible ship if you are at all sensitive or averse to cigarette smoke. The casino is the center point of the ship and you have to pass it if you want to eat or shop etc. It’s just a floating casino don’t be fooled. I had to stay in my stateroom a lot to avoid the smoke.
The theater and library/game room are tiny for the amount of passengers. Not much w/o an extra fee for ...
This ship isn't meant for any bad weather. You feel EVERY wave and they often miss ports due to the inability to stabilize. Also, there are no adult only hot tubs so you better love sitting with kids packed in and splashing. The shows weren't worth the time. The comedian just complained about his ex wife at both shows. The swimming with pigs was terrible. Expect to walk several miles to get to ...
We're not among those that are habitual cruisers. At 62, we've probably been on 15 in our lifetime. We like the convenience once in a while and just the ease of travel and leisurely feel. Have been on Cunard, RC, and Celebrity. This is our 2nd with Norwegian (first was right before pandemic in Hawaii). While I'd say the lines overall are similar, Norwegian is probably my least favorite. ...
There is something definitely wrong on this ship. I got a stomach virus after 3 days of sailing and was put in isolation. After taking my medicine, I barely are for the subsequent 3 days. And, I got the bug, again. I traced my problem to a common denominator: Caesar Salad. The Captain ordered that crews must serve passengers in the buffet area. We aren't even allowed to get water by ourselves. ...
I was disappointed with this cruise. I think NCL had a chance to make it something special but chose not to. We had only sailed on Norwegian once before and had not particularly enjoyed it but the itinerary that NCL originally offered with stops in West Africa, Cape Verde and Morocco was so unusual and interesting that we decided to give Norwegian another go. The first disappointment was that ...
There are going to be a lot of very negative reviews for this cruise, and there were many problems with it. There were four missed ports, an itinerary change after final deposits were made, and a lot of difficulties with ports that were visited.
Additionally, the passengers on this cruise were exceptionally savvy travelers, and exceptionally sophisticated and experienced frequent cruisers with ...
Horror Cruise! Norwengian is no longer Norwengian! Since COVID, NCL cruises have deteriorated in an inexplicable way. We are on board the Dawn crossing from Africa to Europe. An outbreak of gastroenteritis on board. Hundreds with diarrhea, including crew. The same ship, on the last cruise before this one, had already been quarantined on the Mauritius Coast with cholera suspected. It seems they ...
This was our fifth cruise on Norwegian. As an aside, we have made reservations on other Norwegian cruises before, but we were notified of itinerary changes that made the cruise less desirable to us, before payment was due. Therefore we cancelled those reservations.
This cruise was selected by my wife and I as a repeat of a January 2020 Southern and Eastern Caribbean (just before the Covid ...
We took my parents for their birthday on the Norwegian Sun…they live in Florida and wanted to sail out of Miami or Ft Lauderdale. I had limited vacation time, and didn’t have many other options to book, so this cruise checked the boxes. We normally sail on Azamara or Celebrity, so we kept an open mind for NCL, knowing it might be a different product. We knew it would be an older ship, but as ...
