I chose it for the ports. The food was mediocre at best and the ship sort of rundown. Many signs in the elevators and on each deck were hard to read due to aging. The entertainment was ok some nights and pretty blah other nights. Our cabin stupid appeared at times to have dementia as he introduced himself to us three times in two days not realizing we had already met! The staff were nice and ai ...
It was one of the things on my bucket list, travel the Mediterranean. We flew to Barcelona a day earlier and had a greseat time there.
Embarkation was a breeze. The first three ports were everything that had read about and anticipated. I participated in a sound demonstration in the bull ring at Palma Majorca https://youtu.be/3S5Yl5M9G8o Day three was a pivotal time in my cruise ...
We like to compare Cruise compagnies. Barcelona we like.
Embarkation in Barcelona was bad organised , 30 full Sun no shadow because they used only 1 Controller so ther were 4 other unused.
The evening programs were great.(Shows)
The Entry hygiene (Restaurants) was outstanding
The Selfservice : eating was mayby good for USA citizen certainly not for us Belgian.
Soup : not warm , less ...
My wife has been wanting to see Casablanca and this cruise included Barcelona we both like. Our last and first cruise with NCL cruise on the Spirit was extra great so we did a suite again, big difference though I like the Haven experience much better. We did enjoy our shore excursions interesting selections.
The food was pretty good with a nice selection, can't say about the buffet but it ...
We chose this cruise as it was one of a very few to walmer climes, without a long haul flight.
We began our cruise on Feb 3rd from Barcelona,( we were on the same ship 13 months previously). We bid for an upgraded cabin but were unsuccessful, we were alocated an inside 8509 forward, the cabin itself was ok, BUT we were opposite the tannoy, with early morning announcements which always woke us ...
Having been on the Spirit last January 2018 and having had a great time we decided to cruise on the NCL Spirit once again. However our spirits sank as we waited in the very long queue at the Barcelona port, as we were informed the previous cruise had cases of novo virus and so we had to wait much longer to board her due to it being sanitised. Once on board we were not allowed to help ourselves to ...
We had not been on Norwegian Cruise Line before and chose this cruise because of the port calls and itinerary which were fine. Prior to the trip, we felt the information was lacking - for example, we never received a travel package with tickets and luggage tags (which I was expecting from experience with other cruise lines) and it took a bit of navigating to figure out I needed to print ...
We have been on 5 NCL cruises, The Star, The Epic, and The Spirit. The Star, Epic, and the first of 3 on The Spirit were all great, but the last 2 on The Spirit have not been a good experience for us.
Last year 3 major ports were cancelled because of the weather, and I appreciate that this was just one of those things that could not have been avoided. Our main problem was that we had loud ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted a holiday over the New Year period and so we stayed in Barcelona for 4 nights prior to joining the cruise.
As we had previously cruised on a number of occasions with NCL we were directed to the NCL Previous Cruise Embarkation Line - unfortunately, as there were not many checkin desks available for this line people who were first time cruisers and were ...
First cruise with NCL, spoilt initially by our door keycard not working twice, which meant three trips down to customer services and long queues. This was very frustrating having been up since 4am and spent several hours travelling, to not be able to access our cabin. A maintenance man had to be called to rectify the problem with the door lock.
The cabin, booked for 3 adults, was only set ...
