While the initial check-in process was smooth, we then had to sit in a large room with hundreds of other people for over a half hour until we could board. The Boat layout is extremely confusing and you have to go to other floors to get around to your final destination. We got lost 3 times before we found the Habana bar. The boat stinks of sewage A LOT. And not in only one location but everywhere. ...
First, I would like to say I've only cruised with Royal Caribbean (16 times) and it's the only cruise line I know. My lovely wife wanted something other than the boring Western Caribbean itinerary that's offered from our home port in Galveston TX. We've traveled to Florida ports many times, to link up with RCL ships providing better destinations. We also hold shares with all three companies, so ...
This is our fourth cruise with NCL (Majesty, Epic, Bliss, Getaway) and we have another five already booked for the future. We love NCL because of the value, the unlimited drink package, the freestyle dining, no unexpected charges, the Latitudes program and so much more. We just became Gold -- we're a little disappointed in how little the benefits increase between Silver and Gold, but we won’t be ...
This was my 41st cruise and 13th on Royal Caribbean. I traveled with my husband and 2 adult daughters. We are from Long Island and Manhattan. This was the May 11th 9-night sailing to Bermuda, Nassau and Perfect Day at CocoCay.
I highly recommend this cruise! But you need to keep everything in perspective. Because while this ship lacks “things,” it more than makes up for it in “people” – ...
Destinations was top of mind as we explored the many choices of cruise lines. A Caribbean cruise was our top choice with as many ports as possible. Norwegian Cruise Line Getaway offered a 9-day cruise to the Dominican Republic, Saint Thomas, Saint Maarten, Antigua, San Jaun Porta Rico and of course the NCL private island in the Bahamas. With only 2 full days at sea, it seemed the best value for ...
This was the 7th cruise for me and the 8th for my wife. This was the first time on Norwegian for either of us. Other cruises have been with Carnival and Royal Caribbean. Port stops included Porta Plata, DR, St. John, Antigua, St. Thomas, USVI, San Juan, PR and the cruise line’s private island, Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas. There were two complete sea days on this nine-day cruise.
We booked ...
Was the ship too small? The food not good enough? The service lacking? Entertainment not exciting?
Let's break it all down after a 9-day Bermuda, Nassau, and Perfect Day at CocoCay cruise aboard Vision of the Seas.
Starting with the ship overall - it was in fantastic shape for its age. Minimal signs of rusting, though we heard from folks with balcony cabins that the divider hinges had rusted ...
Let me list the ways: 1)Embarkation: staterooms not "released" for occupancy until almost 3pm after we had endured a "red eye" flight across the country arranged by NCL, waited almost an hour for NCL transfer to ship, and had to kill 3 hours on ship with carry on luggage 2)Cabin had hair (not ours) in shower, on bath floor and on shower curtain when we checked in 3)cabins cleaned once a day I can ...
The crew were wonderful: happy, friendly, accommodating, helpful. The food was quite good. The ship: not so much.
Norwegian Sky is a smaller ship which we prefer. It did not feel crowded. Waiting, if any, was minimal. The ship was well maintained. It was the layout and utilization which wasn't so great. And the decor was pretty bland.
The casino opened out into the Atrium on Deck 7, ...
