Most cruisers will have heard of the old French nautical Term "Force Majeure" used by Global shipping company's and insrurance institutions across the World, This description in most cases used to declare "an act of God" or "Inevitable accident" at sea. NCL have taken this title to a next level encompassing anything that goes wrong on board their vessels or extremley bad management or both. I am ...

We chose this cruise for it’s itinerary, even though Mozambique was removed late last year, and an interesting Madagascar port was replaced by two stops in the north of the island which at best could be described as terrible! The South Africa stops were great, Nosy Be and Antsinerara below average due to the Shore Excursion team not explaining the shocking travel arrangements on both, we did not ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

Had a Balcony room on the 14th floor The Balcony had some serious rust issues to make it quite unappealing to sit outside. But when you get to a port and look at the rest of the ship, it's understood why, there is quite a bit of Rust showing thru..... while other cruise lines do painting maintenance while in port, never saw any NCL personnel with even a paint rush. It needs some serious ...

I travel on NCL quite a bit but the Epic was horrific. Did a B2B cruise Jan-28-2024 through 3-11-2024. LONG LONG LINES everywhere, whether dining, bars, venues. I've been on many NCL ships and other cruise lines, but nothing like this. The first leg of the trip, they ran out of lite beers on 5th day, and I'm not a beer drinker but EVERYONE was complaining. You had to wait 45 mins for a drink ...

I Chose this cruise for the itinerary: 12 Days: From Cape Town. Port Elizabeth, Durban and Luderitz Embarkation: Chaos. My time was 1pm. After 2 hours standing in a non-air conditioning warehouse, people in my line discovered the next line (2 pm) was boarding ahead of us. At this point it was a free for all as hundreds of people surged forward, disregarding the lines and pushed towards the ...

I choose this cruise because of its itinerary, but boy what a disappointment! From embarkation to disembarkation it was a total disaster. Cancelled ports of call, total disorganisation of everything from the muster station was closed because of refuelling when we were being called to report there! luggage arriving at 11.30pm at night ( we were lucky, many passengers had handed their luggage ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

Out first cruise for a special occasion, everyone on the ship told us 'this is really bad, worst cruise we've been on, please don't let it put you off it isn't usually like this'. I don't know where to start as most of the other reviews have said everything. I echo their opinions. When we booked the cruise over the phone they said we need to pay £372 gratuities while booking the cruise, they ...

This was our first cruise with NCL and will certainly be our last, the cruise company are the fawlty towers of cruises, but not funny., Where to begin. Before the cruise even started they changed the ports of call we would no longer be visting East Africa which was one of the highlights of the trip. No option to cancel and get a refund. This also meant an extra day at sea. Fast forward to ...

Most disorganised and chaotic cruise we have ever been on. It was a disaster from start to finish. The boarding process was a disaster, hundreds of passengers were kept queuing in the sun with 40 Oc temperatures. We had to drag our luggage as they were not taken off us on arrival. Ports of call were abandoned and many days at sea added. In Richards bay the ship moored in a cold yard covering the ...

Not a holiday worth having

Review for a Africa Cruise on MSC Splendida

By far our worst holiday experience, a complete waste of money and time. We would have had a better time on land where we catered for ourselves, our first time cruising with #MSC and if this is their standard I would recommend anyone to rather not choose the #MSC Splendida. Not enough space for people in pools, mistakes made by staff caused us to repeatedly go stand in line at reception for ...
