Norwegian Southern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

For background, I am a 29 year old male, ICU nurse from New York. Been on 5 previous cruises with Carnival, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Royal Caribbean. Was accompanied by 3rd grade teacher girlfriend who has cruise experience, and her two parents. It was a 7 day cruise on the Norwegian Viva out of Puerto Rico with six ports of call Positives: Quick and easy on-boarding Spacious ...

This is a new cruise that Norwegian is testing. Starts in Dominica Republic, goes to 14 islands in 14 days, southern swinging up eastern back to Dominica Republic. It’s on the Norwegian Sky. Older, smaller ship but refurbished a few years ago. Because it’s a smaller ship, able to get into smaller islands. Only one tender to a private island. Lots of beaches, lots of cultural experiences and some ...

Chose this busy 14 day, 14 port cruise out of Dominican Republic for a great itinerary. We sailed this ship on our 1st ever cruise in 2003 when we still had kids. The ship is now the oldest NCL ship I believe and one of the smallest. We sailed out of La Romana after flying into Punta Cana on Superbowl weekend. The port: La Romana is a nice port with plenty to do. Unfortunately, the D.R. is ...

My husband and I met up with our friends from Florida to experience this new cruise ship. We were prepared for the ship to be smaller than what we usually cruise on, but we were super excited about the racetrack and the Infiniti pools. Boarding went smoothly, and the first thing we noticed was how bright the colors and decor was. The choice of colors used on the ship were absolutely beautiful! The ...

Went on this cruise because we had been on the Jade before and it was really fantastic.Hmmm well not any more really disappointing, the food was just awful and very repetitive,hardly any choice,there was just nothing that I could say I enjoyed.its really sad as I was really looking forward to it. All the staff seemed fed up as though they didn’t want to be there,I was not happy as the toilet ...

Where do I begin: Bad food, lack of dining space, high prices for everything including tips and surcharges. Two good restaurants: The buffet and Murano (with additional charges, expensive). The room (family room) had a drop down bunk bed. Had to get onto the bed sideways. Room very tight to move around; no real place to sit down! Safe inacessible for a short person (I am 4-11 1/2). ...

Well as a huge fan of the Jade and loyal NCL cruiser I can not argue with a lot of the recent negative reviews. My travel group came with an open mind but we feel very let down by NCL. They have obviously cut back on many things however, there short sighted savings will actually cost them more as loyal customers go elsewhere. The buffet has very little choice with the same dishes repeated many ...

My wife and I enjoyed our 11 day NCL cruise on the Jade very much. The food was excellent as was the entertainment. Every evening we went to the Stardust Theater and enjoyed a variety of entertainment from a comedian, singers, Blazing Boots Show, acrobatics, even the hypnotist was fun. We enjoyed the gym every day. The equipment was nice with plenty of room to work out as we choose. We had ...

This was my 15th cruise overall and sixth with NCL. Previously, I have sailed on Royal, Princess and Carnival. My DW and I find cruising to be a great value and an excellent way to spend a vacation. We chose the NCL Viva because it was a brand-new vessel, the price fit our budget and we love all of the ports, some of which we have visited multiple times (i.e. St. Thomas, Tortola and ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted to try a different port and liked the idea of a brand new ship (Viva). This is our sixth cruise and fourth with NCL. The restaurant options were pretty good, and the food was outstanding. Being a new ship, the rooms were nice and clean. We stayed in a standard balcony room, and the size was adequate. The ship lacked good service overall. The bar ...
