Cruise was chosen for the Itiniary. The ship was a disappointment. Nowhere to go for a quiet space. Lacking inside observation area. Noise everywhere, The open area from the atrium up to OSheehans, so noisy you could hardly have a conversation. Lines, lines, lines everywhere.
Food was fair, nothing to rave about. The specialty restaurants, Cagney’s and Italan I rate as ok, nothing ...
This was the worst cruise we have been on, will never travel Norwegian again. Up until Cork Ireland it was good from then on it just got worse. Went through hurricane Pablo and subtropical storm Rebeka, missed a port hence instead of two days at sea a day in port that we missed then four days at sea it became seven days at sea. They took this large ship and made everything in it smaller from rooms ...
First the positives:
excellent entertainment- if you can get a seat to participate
Great staterooms
Our room steward Narendra was fabulous
Cirque Dreams and Steam was amazing
Burn the floor dancers show was fabulous
The rope course was great and so were the attendants
The water slides were fun
The grilled shrimp in the garden cafe was excellent consistently
Ports of ...
I'm not a fan be of "freestyle cruising." The food was just okay.
The ship's layout was weird with few lounges to read or socialize.
The floor in the Thermal Spa lounge area was dirty. Obviously not swept and mopped.
It felt like we were nickeled and dined for the smallest things. For example you had to pay extra for premium TV or movie channels in the cabin. Normally, I wouldn't be ...
I have wanted to do a transatlantic crossing and this itinerary was outstanding. I traveled with two friends. We left home on Wednesday morning and arrived in Copenhagen around noon on Thursday after three flights and a sleepless night. Copenhagen is a great city to explore and I definitely recommend at least a couple of days to explore. We opted for the Hop on Hop Off bus which made it easy to ...
Liked the Transatlantic with lots of ports, as well as the opportunity to end up in New Orleans. But, day after day, we were disappointed. When we finally had a sunny day, I was shocked to see deck loungers butted up side to side with no place to put a drink or book, and the only way on was to crawl up the chair from the end. I was served cold eggs in the dining room, observed supervisor berating ...
We chose this cruise because we were excited to go to Europe and see London, Paris, Stonehenge, Ireland, etc. Embarkation and Disembarkation were very smooth as had been our previous cruise with Norwegian. We had sailed on the Breakaway earlier and chose this ship since it was the sister ship and we knew the layout. We had a family midship oceanview cabin. The room was nice. We always ate at ...
We chose this cruise because we had done an LA to Hawaii 15 day on Princess and wanted to do a transatlantic. The ship is beautiful but it does lack places just to relax. I Think the ship is fine for a Caribbean itinerary but Norwegian did not understand that a longer cruise in the fall with older clientele is different.
Prior to the cruise we spent 4 days in Iceland and 5 days in ...
Although the itinerary was a dream come true for me, the ship itself and its management had a lot to be desired!
I know it’s was a repositioning longer cruise than usual, but the staff and management were so unprepared and disorganized constantly that we cannot recommend this ship!
First, they ran out of a lot of staple type food items, like Iced Tea, Orange Juice, Lettuce ...
I chose this cruise because of the price, but I did not realize that everything you wish to do aboard the ship is either completely packed, or costs a fortune. People would sleep in the atrium in order to maintain their seat for the next event. If there was an event they did not wish to participate in, they remained in their seat without participating. It was quite frustrating.
The best ...
