This was my first Princess cruise and far from a good first impression. If it wasn’t for the fact that I already have a cruise booked on Sky Princess for next month, I would not book with them again. All I can do is hope that the experience will be better on a newer ship.
I knew this was an older ship but having sailed on several which are older I was shocked to see the state of it, ...
I am writing about my journey on the Norwegian Star that departed Reykjavik for three destinations in Iceland and three ports in Greenland from July 13 to 23, 2023.
I traveled on several cruise ships before, but the NCL was the worst of all these experiences.
I hardly know where to begin, since there were so many issues.
I took this cruise with my extended family and some friends (10 ...
I chose this cruise due to its itinerary that would sail from Iceland to Greenland. We did not visit one port of call in Iceland and two ports in Greenland to weather conditions. Norwegian Cruise Line should be well aware of the weather conditions in these areas of the world. If the weather conditions do not allow visit of these ports even during the summer Norwegian should not plan these ...
6 ports scheduled 3 cancelled 2 more added plus fjord sail All additional adds were cancelled due to weather.
Crew worked hard but the line is lacking in so many ways. Norwegian should have a good handle on operations in thr region.
Ports were mostly tenders. And very few shore excursions. They sent out a memo advising that the tour guides did not have a strong command of the ...
We booked this cruise as a large group with my family and unfortunately all of us had the same horrible experience. Our cruise was supposed to go to Iceland and Greenland and we only were able to make two of the Iceland stops and one (the smallest) of the Greenland stops. The remainder of the stops were cancelled due to sea ice (that other ships were going through without issue). Guests on the ...
We chose this 10 day cruise with 8 stops in the British Isles because there was only one day at sea and the ports looked amazing. We were looking forward to all 8 ports, but were only allowed to enjoy 5 of them. The weather wasn't that bad. NCL didn't tell us the number of tender ports until the day we boarded the ship. 5 of the 8 were tender ports. Why can't NCL dock like other cruise ships? Who ...
Very bad ship, food and management
Everything was far below normal standards
No heating in the buffet restaurant in iceland and greenland
You had to eat with thick socks and coat on
A lot op people got sick with the flu during this cruises
We both were sick for one week
There was a lot of sneezing.
No hygienic measures for the guests.
Hand sanitizers were mostly ...
The ports of call were incredible. We especially loved Tallinn, Estonia. The ship was ok. We enjoyed the main restaurant. The entertainment was not really for us and we found it to be all too repetitive for a 12 day sailing. Only about six movies made it into the dive-in movies lineup. They were mostly superhero films which we were not interested in. The movies in the rooms were also pretty ...
I chose this cruise because it was going to Greenland.
I boarded in Bremerhaven.
Boarding there was chaotic.
We had opted for an inside cabin, because it is financially better.
In addition, we had booked a number of excursions.
In IJmuiden a day of your own in Amsterdam.
On the boat it was again chaotic, the time that we had to report was exceeded, without us being informed by ...
We have used ncl before and we were very satisfied. this trip was a nightmare. we book our insurance, flights, and cruise with ncl.
It started out bad with a flight delay causing us to miss our tour and pick up in reykjavik. it was less than 24 hours when i called the tour operator and was told we would not be able to refund our money. i thought i could submit it to my ncl insurance but ...
