Excellent First Cruise Experience

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

This was our first cruise. We chose NCL because of the freestyle option. Our lifestyle is very relaxed- we don't like to dress up for anything- we don't like assigned seats- and we could care less about sitting at the Captain's table. We want to eat what we want, when we want- and NCL is the only cruise line with the amount of flexibility that we needed. We live in Sedona- and we have a lot of ...

My husband and I took this cruise to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. This was the first time we have cruised with Norwegian. Let me first say the cruise was good and we had a great time. We are not big drinkers so we were looking for great food and good excursions. We got a deal when we booked the cruise that we could get 4 of the specialty dining rooms for free. I was happy about ...

This was my very first cruise. I live in Florida so pretty much everybody I know has been on cruises. Nobody really recommended NCL. Ultimately, I chose this particular cruise based on price and departure port. I didn't have the highest or greatest expectations. I just wanted to see Alaska and did not care too much about the cruise details. I did not expect a party cruise (I don't imagine ...

FANTASTIC ALASKA CRUISE ON NORWEGIAN SUN

We chose a Norwegian cruise because friends had many enjoyable experiences aboard this gorgeous Norwegian Sun. Our cruise presented such amazing views 24 hours a day.....snow-covered mountains, waterfalls, glaciers, whales, bald eagles,puffins, and on and on. Restaurants presented a wide selection of delicious meals (I recommend the baked stuffed lobster, with the filet of beef a close second), ...

This was our third cruise on NCL and our seventh overall. We are both early 50's. I think this was our best cruise ever. Everything was really nice. Flew in to Vancouver the morning of the cruise and had an NCL bus transfer to the boat. Check in is always somewhat chaotic with some long lines. But the Vancouver folks had this running pretty smoothly. Still took over an hour but it was not ...

Explored Vancouver for a full day before cruise. First time for Norwegian and not sure if we will cruise again with them. Five hour delay departing for some mechanical reason. Another 6 hour departure delay in Sitga when they couldn't raise the anchor causing the schedule to skip a glacier viewing (compensated with cabin credits). First time taking a child and grandson really liked the activities ...

Let me start out first by saying the only other ship I've cruised on was Royal Caribean's Explorer of the Seas (twice), so that's all I have to compare this cruise to. That being said, the Explorer of the Seas was a much better ship in my opinion, and that ship even seemed like it might be lacking compared to some of the newer ships today. Most importantly, the food was much better on RC. During ...

We were given a "free" cruise and had always wanted to see Alaska. The cabin was very nice. The steward was barely adequate. The ship was comfortable with lots of options for things to do and see. The shows we saw were entertaining. Nothing exceptional, but worth our time. The food for the most part was ok. We had dinner twice at Le Bistro which was our favorite place to eat. Steak and ...

The date we could travel led us to schedule a trip that the NCL Sun was the cruise ship involved. I read reviews before we traveled, some were good and some not. The less than pleasing reviews mentioned a smell of sewage sometimes. Well, I have to report our bathroom had a persistent unpleasant smell of sewage. (We had brought a spray deodorizer with us which allowed us to mostly neutralize the ...

I took the Alaskan cruise with two other families and have a mixed experience. Good The entertainment was great. Tuey's tricks were awesome, Fred's standup was hilarious. They know how to entertain. The food was good in general. I love their desserts. The staff were nice and friendly. Bad They had vegetarian options, but for a few dishes they had used oil that was used to cook sea ...
