We have been cruising with NCL for almost 20 years. This will be out last cruise with NCL. A lot has changed (and not for the best) while cruising with them over the years. Although we are "Sapphire Level", even those "perks" have been changed and are minimal. As far as the food, room, service and entertainment - all were subpar. THE FOOD: We ate at all of the restaurants and buffet. ...
This was supposed to be one of the cruises of a lifetime. Anything but. Been on NCL many times previously but this was the first cruise since covid. Very disappointing, to say the least. Everything had been cut back. The food quality was way down. I was told that there was a challenge sourcing food. What was served was terrible. They need to hire new staff and get quality control people on board. ...
My husband, son, and I embarked on this cruise to celebrate a number of milestones in our family. We opted to upgrade our room (deck 9, forward facing balcony) and take advantage of all that offered, which, in the end, was a mix of good and bad.
I had anxiety about taking a cruise during Covid (yes, it does still exist; all 3 of us contracted it). For what we paid, we really don't feel like ...
We live in Arizona and it's HOT in August! We wanted to travel somewhere where the weather was cool and the terrain was different from where we live.
We were not disappointed! We were personally met at check-in and escorted up to our suite on the 12th deck. We were able to be in our room by 1:00 though our luggage arrived around 5:00. We have never stayed in a room that included butler and ...
Having sailed with others, we are restricted due to the school holidays; where my partner works and it can limit our choice and availability.
We flew to Copenhagen and enjoyed an amazing city before cruising.
Everything from getting on the ship at Copenhagen to leaving it at Stockholm; was fantastically executed. Food and choices along with entertainment was the best I've experienced to ...
For some reason the itinerary listed here is not the one we had. Our was a 10 day British Isles cruise.
We chose this cruise because of its itinerary. Though we are traveling often and were 13 times in London we have never been in any other UK place except for London. This cruise was supposed to give us ability to do so. And we had previously sailed twice on NCL and had decent experience both ...
Scotland, Ireland, England cruise
Common spaces very crowded, yet the high prices restaurants were vacant. We think they have way too many high prices restaurants which could have been more open spaces for all to relieve cramping.
Missed 3 of 8 ports due to Norwegian choosing to do tenders (5 tender ports - which they did not advertise). The port stops were cancelled due to high winds. ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and because we use to love NCL… not anymore.
We were not communicating with at all. There Was only supposed to be 1 tender port and there were 5. We were not told this until boarding the ship. We missed 3 out of those 5 ports due to “bad weather”. We were told at the last minute as the boat turned away from places we had dreamed about going. But ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary. For our style of travel (we have been on 16 cruises and also land based vacations) the best thing about cruising is the convenience of seeing a variety of places without having to unpack, pack, and move suitcases between each one. We avoid cruises with lots of sea days. We also avoid cruises with lots of tender stops due to the difficulty in meeting ...
I chose this cruise due to the ports we were supposed to visit and was only supposed to be at sea for 1 day! We found out that we were going to have to tender to 5 ports on this trip when we got to our rooms. Rumor has it that Norwegian doesn’t pay their port fees and that is why we needed to tender so many times.
The first port we missed due to tender problems was Stornoway. The next port ...
