Got on the ship within 20 minutes! Very prompt. The ship is small and incredibly old. Which is ok but means the walking deck was roped off alot as they were maintaining. The jogging track often had workers on it . Not enough areas for more than one show and there was no entertainment in the day - not even a film was shown on sea days! Usual bingo and art auction dire rubbish! So old fashioned - as ...

As a seasoned cruiser on many different lines and ships i have just returned from a ten day cruise on NCL SPIRIT. I last used this ship about six years ago on the same tour. At which time we thought it to be an excellent cruise with all conditions and services meeting high standards. Alas what a letdown, the food appeared to be mainly for Asians several types of rice and pasta with meats mainly ...

Norwegian essentially held me prisoner in my room for two days. Why? Honesty

Our ship was infected with norovirus. Not necessarily the cruise line's fault, could have been crew or passengers spreading the virus. They constantly were on the intercom system, appealing to the greater good to contact the health center with any medical concerns to stop the spread of the virus. My husband came down with what we thought was a case of food poisoning. We reported it just in case we ...

First of all we boarded a ship that we believe had the Noro virus on it and had over 100 cases on the ship. It made the cruise a total disaster from overall terrible food, poor menus that did not change. The service in Windows was terrible food was not hot nor served in a timely manner. The hallway to our room always had a horrible odor. The speciality restaurants were fair at best and out ...

After many years of cruising i have found the Norwegian experience to be embarrassingly poor. This was a Christmas and New year holiday to celebrate the festive season and my birthday. First of all the good bits. Boarding and disembarkation in Barcelona was a breeze. friendly staff and a good location. The Ship is old and showing its age however still functional and pleasant to be ...

1. 11 nights with a bathroom that smelled like rotting brussel sprouts. Multiple visits from head plumber, head this, head that. No relief. Absolutely horrible. Staff refused to change my cabin. 2. Work was being performed on multiple cabins across from mine. Toilets and furniture were stacked in the hallway. Extreme chemical cleaning solution odor in the hallway. So bad that the work ...

Having previously enjoyed 3 cruises with NCL (Star, Epic,Spirit) we decided to take a 2nd cruise on NCL Spirit. From start to finish we found it to be an absolute nightmare, and couldn't wait to get home. The cruise did not get off to a good start, when passengers were told on embarkation in Barcelona, that the itinerary had been changed, and 3 major ports were substituted for far less ...

We normally cruise with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Princess. However we decided to try Norwegian but now wish we hadn't bothered. We had their " ultimate " drinks package which comes in at $89 per person per day plus 20% gratuity, so effectively $107 . Our travel agent told us this would cover all drinks - that was incorrect. First morning in the buffet I asked for an orange juice. " ...

Food: The selection of food was poor, and the quality was subpar. I have travelled on several cruises, and this was the first one that did not serve smoked salmon! The food was very similar every day at the Raffles buffet. The food selection and quality appeared to be marginally better in the formal dining rooms, but not by much. The speciality dining restaurants were lacklustre as well. We had ...
