Boston Gourmet Food Cruises Cruise Reviews

We chose to cruise out of Boston because we live in Maine saving us on airfare. We were so excited and the boarding process was flawless. We literally walked right on at 1:30pm. We started our time at the Garden Cafe and there appeared to be a lot of selections for my three teens and my parents. Salads, soups, sandwiches, grilled items, and plenty of desserts. By the end of the cruise the ...

Check-in process was easy my balcony room is updated and very clean. The buffet was absolutely disgusting. The burger rolls were hard and moldy. I let the cook know the rolls were moldy and I saw him take the entire basket out. My son went to make a burger and I checked his bread and full of mold. The rolls were put back after I left. That’s absolutely disgusting. We had plumbing issues Tuesday. I ...

Embarkation was confusing due to discrepancies with Bermuda rules for testing. It it 4 days in advance. NCL - 3 days. On NCL webpage you can find statement - county rules supersedes NCL. Not so. You have to be careful there. Food was ok but very little selection. For breakfast- the same thing every day - eggs mostly . Entertainment- so so. One level above Caribbean resorts, especially on deck and ...

Chose this cruise purely because we wanted to go to Bermuda and it leaves out of Boston. First of all the food was terrible, very bland mostly tasteless. Also everyone in my party had stomach issues due to the food for the entire trip. They also had a lack of bartenders resulting in one bartender tending to his own bar as well as the drinks for two restaurants, way too much work for one person. ...

TL;DR: There is one and only one reason to choose the Norwegian Pearl: it sails out of Boston. If you're willing to sail the same itinerary from anywhere else, sail out of New York: you'll get much newer and better ships. But let's start at the beginning. The embarkation horror stories posted by some of the previous reviewers are clearly a thing of the past. The terminal was run in an orderly ...

This was my first cruise. The staff was incredible, the food was great, and the only main complaint I have is that an extra day in Bermuda would have been better than the day in Maine in my opinion. Shout out to Rico, Helio, & Chi Chi at the champagne bar. Fantastic Personality, all smiles, delicious drinks and made us feel like we've known them for years. Can't wait to book another ...

We recently cruised on the Pearl to Bermuda and stayed in The Haven. We were excited about our first vacation since before the pandemic. We applied 30 days before the trip for our Bermuda Travel Authorization and took the proctored Covid tests. You have to take a test 2 days before embarkation, which is fine. I didn't get my authorization until 8:00pm the night before so if you get it later, don't ...

This was my 5th cruise, first with norwegian. I thought we were getting a step above the usual. We were wrong. The staff are always fun and accommodating. Ship is clean and maintained beautifully. The ships band was fantastic, best entertainment on ship, we enjoyed them alone one night. We found the food disappointing, especially the buffet Cafe. The entertainment was poor. Only 2 good ...

We have done this cruise many times on NCL, but this was our first time back since the pandemic. Like everyone else we were just so happy to be on the cruise, most were repeat customers lots of people from Massachusetts. There was lots of hoops to jump through and lots of nail biting because of the pandemic, getting tested four days before, e-mailing the results and vaccination records to ...

This was our 1st cruise. Our 17 year old boys turned 18 while on the ship. The beginning of the cruise was great. Seeing all decor was spectacular. Food was good and staff was great. We got to Bermuda and spent 2 days there. Was supposed to be 3 days but the cruise line changed the itinerary 1 week before we left and took one day away from 70's in Bermuda to 1 day in bar harbor Maine that was 38 ...
