Because it got dood reviews and it was leaving from Baltimore. Unfortunately we had a very rough ride down and back and weather was not good anywhere but Half Moon Cay but that not the cruises fault. The food however was not very good, didn’t even look appealing. There was no entertainment really other than comedian who was very good and some piano bar etc. just a bunch of games and auctions ...
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 ...
Let me first start off with the good: The crew was very nice on the ship (except the guest services). They pamper you like you are a Saint, even if you do not want it. The ship was clean and neat. They communicated very well with the guests on all activities and upcoming shows. There were plenty of elevators and the ship was not overly crowded. The rooms were good size and the internet was decent. ...
I very much regret our latest cruise on Mariner of the Seas. We went during a busy time (spring break season), but the boat felt especially crowded. It was very much akin to how airlines started squeezing as much people in during the last decade or two- the cruise felt overbooked and there wasn't a single space, bar, or restaurant that wasn't jam packed or didn't have a line. In addition, the ...
I have cruised Carnival before and did not have issues but I have never booked excursions or room decor before so maybe this is standard. I ordered birthday decorations which they sold me but “ran out of” even though I ordered well in advance and had I known prior I could have brought decorations. Also booked an excursion, got the tickets then the night before got a cancellation notice. No real ...
This cruise was for our 3rd anniversery on the 11th. We cruised with Royal last year on Jewel of the Seas last year for our 2nd and had a great time. So this year we decided to take Royal again. And looking at Oasis it seemed like it had a lot of potential for a great time. I can honestly say the only great thing about it has been our room attendant and our immediate wait staff in the dining ...
Food was awful. Ship was outdated. Staff were nice and pleasant. The ship was constantly in your pocket from the time you sail away until the last day. It is definitely a party boat. Comedy show we saw was good. Nuasau was a nasty trashy place. When we asked staff where the beach was they said walk 20 minutes and make rights. The place was trashy, bums, locals harassing you. The beach had glass, ...
We went a weekend and we really had a good time because in the end it's a vacation but inside the cruise very bad service the food was fatal too many people to such an extent that there were endless queues I would never repeat. You had high expectations and I left very disappointed it's really my experience I made the mistake of not checking the comments first and for me the worst thing was that ...
The cruise ship itself was large and clean. The staff though was not trained very well and confusing to talk with. I had purchased the soft drink package which comes with a cup to use at the drink stations. I thought this might be addressed at the check in but that was basically a glance at your passport and sent aboard. I could not find any information other than to see guest services so I did ...
Disappointment in the quality of this cruise. This is my third NCL and 5th cruise and was the least enjoyable of my experience. The staff was frequently rude in numerous departments. You had to wait in line for everything including all restaurants and bars, which I've never experienced before. It was a minimum 20-30 minute wait for all bars & restaurants for service. There was a lack of activities ...
