Do not use NCL if you value your freedom. I was quarantined for Covid for 5 days in a cabin without even a window. They refused to retest me and threatened to have me removed from the ship for complaining. This cruise line treats its passengers like cattle and with no respect for personal liberties. I will never take a cruise again.
The food is mundane - same thing day after day. The ...
I am astounded at all the negative reviews. This is our 2nd cruise on the POA and third on NCL. Service was outstanding and as good or better than any other cruise I have ever been on. This is unique cruise and is unlike most others. No Big shows, no casino, minimum cruise staff interaction. This is on purpose. Plenty of food options, all good to excellent. Best way to visit many of the islands. ...
Where do I start. Maybe the good things. The restaurant O'Sheheen's food was pretty good and the only ok place to eat. Great menu. Disembarking was simple. Thats all! The remaining comments are bad from start to finish. The boarding was easy, but the staff was rude, unconcerned and uncaring. Once on the ship, no guidance or assistance as to our next move. We found out the next day that we were ...
We went on the Caribbean 11-day cruise on the Norwegian Prima from Nov 30 to Dec 11. We are a family of three. Myself, my husband and my 2 year old daughter, the big draw for us when booking this cruise was the Kids Splash Aqua park and the stop at Bermuda which was canceled one month before sailing while the Kids Splash Aqua park on the Deck 18 aft of the ship was rarely open, the cruise liner ...
1) Embarkation was delayed for several hours
2) More than 50% ports to be visited between embarkation and debarkation were cancelled. No compensation provided.
3) most of the restaurants are not included, additionally charge
4) At the time of embarkation room had old food and things left by previous passengers
5)Broken drawer in the room
6) Jewelry were stolen from the room
7) ...
Most things were just one step poorer than we've encountered on other cruise lines. To start they cancelled second port day in Kyoto that was the reason we picked this trip in the first place, just ended up cruising around at 9 knots for no reason or explanation (saving port costs?). Embarkation was chaotic. Buffet was small, poor and terribly over-crowded. Half of what should have been the ...
The only thing good about this cruise was the staff...especially in fine dining. All staff was happy to answer questions and seemed happy to serve us. In fact, I had to ask the staff several times how to find my way around bc the ship has a weird design and elevators don't go directly to floor you want. Gota take one elevator to one level and then walk further to mid-ship to take another elevator ...
We just got off the Getaway yesterday.
47, 40, and a 12 year old - first time cruisers.
The embarkation process was super smooth. We got in line at 11:30 (apparently a popular time) and were on the ship in about 30 minutes. Disembarkation was equally as smooth. We had an airport transfer and made it to the airport in plenty of time.
Food:
Savor and Taste were fantastic. We actually ...
I had an ok time- it could have been better, if the ship was not over crowded. Someone said that there were 4800 passenger souls on board- and 3000 (63%) were under 18. I would estimate they have room in "kid" areas (pool, race cars, golf, laser tag, kids club) for no more than half of that. Parents were busy drinking- having a vacation from their kids, while the rest of us suffer them. My own ...
This should be called Norwegian Epic Line. It will be your best cruise if you like waiting in line. You have to wait in line for drinks. You have to wait in line to get off or on the ship. You have to wait in line for the restaurants. If you want to use the slide if it’s open you have to wait in 2 lines. First you have to wait for inflatable then you have to wait to use the slide. Have to wait in ...
