My husband and I enjoyed our cruise on the Spirit. We embarked in Honolulu with minimum wait times. It was less than 30 minutes from the time we were dropped off at the dock until we were sitting on the ship. The Hawaiian islands were beautiful. We toured the Waikiki Aquarium and ate at Duke's the day before we got on the ship in Honolulu. We walked around town by the cruise port in Kauai and ...
This was the first 12 days of a 24 day B2B HNL to PPT then Return to HNL. I was not impressed. The beds in both rooms were uncomfortable with linen that smelled funny, like dirty socks. I found this smell was prevalent throughout the ship, including the dishes, silverware and napkins in every restaurant. Not sure what water process was used for water purification, but it left a rancid smell on ...
We just completed a B2B Hawaii <-> Tahiti cruise, and everything was perfect! No kidding. The food was great, the specialty restaurants were outstanding, the entertainers were fantastic, our cabin was perfect, the itinerary was beautiful, and the Wi-Fi actually worked! We did not partake in any of the ship's excursions, but our own excursions on every island were fantastic. The islands are ...
We set-out on an much anticipated cruise for our anniversary. Onboarding in Honolulu Hawaii after an early arrival to see Pear Harbor. It was thought provoking, sad and certainly worth the history lesson. Off we go to Maui, thankfully this island was still on the itinerary and we were able to see the beauty of Maui above water and below. Our excursion via catamaran to Molokini Crater and ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary. We are experienced Princess customers with 10 cruises.
They claim to have the best dining. We found the dining very good but behind in quality from our experience with Princess.
We never received a post cruise survey email.
Excursion deployment was managed poorly. Excursion employees struggled with correct English and talked on PA system too ...
We mainly choose this based on the itinerary. And we got a great price on it too. I had read that this was NCL's smallest ship and somewhat geared toward adults. We found that to be the case. The only time the kids were a problem (and it wasn't really a problem) was that the game room was about the only place for kid activities. So it was full of them on the sea days. The itinerary was great ...
Overall my wife and I agreed overall cruise was excellent. The Entertainment really really made the cruise. The Sea Shakers, and Diego Bartolini - the one man band — were so exceptionally good and enjoyable night after night. Blazing Boots was great (hated Kinky Boots on a prior cruise).
The Spirit is an older ship however recently went thru major renovations and they were top shelf. Without ...
We originally chose this cruise in 2019, booked, paid and all, and then the pandemic came and all was cancelled. We took the offered future credit incentive. Back then no-one knew what would happen. Being from New Zealand we also faced government obstruction and closed airline travel, but now finally we were able to re-book this cruise. Despite initial reluctance from NCL to finally honour the ...
Norwegian Spirit: loved the size of the ship and the recent refurbishment made it feel like a new ship. Our window cabin 55** was perfect for 2 people. This ship is the quietest one I’ve ever been on. You could hardly hear the engine or feel vibrations. I only went to a few of the production shows and they were of a very high standard. Food onboard was typical of cruise fare but we loved the Asian ...
Just completed a 16 day NCL Spirit cruise. The ship retrofit was nice except for internet. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was not up to previous cruises. Mixed drinks are not made with name brand mixers which affected the taste.
Midway on the cruise I got headache, fever, cough, etc. Called the doctor office and was told the doctor visit was $149, plus meds $249. I went in for ...
