Good Enough Cruise

I liked the itinerary and looked forward to a smaller ship than I usually sail. This would be my 8th cruise all of them with NCL. Found the ship attractive, peaceful and calming. Neutral colors were used throughout the ship. Had an inside cabin and I found it comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well for the most part. Ate exclusively at the Garden Cafe and found it very ...

We sailed around Britain to meet family. The stops were great shame we never made France due to strikes. My husband is in a wheelchair and I truly can fault the staff they were so helpful and accommodating. They went out of their way to make his holiday truly amazing. I'm gluten free and golly did I struggle, I had to keep asking if things were gluten free as nothing was marked. They ...

Our previous cruise with NCL in Mar 23 was very disappointing and we vowed not to cruise with them again, however, we came across this reasonably priced and local cruise for us around the British Isles, Holland, Belgium and France. We expected the worse, but were pleasantly surprised. The ship is a bit tired in places and the décor old fashioned but we liked it. It was clean and spotless ...

This was supposed to have been a cruise of a lifetime. We had been planning this cruise for five years. We were so disappointed. First the food... We booked with a coupon for four specialty restaurants. The first was the steak house Cagney. I have had better steaks at Western Sizzlen. I got the filet, medium well. it was literality burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. My wife ...

This was a last minute booking, literally. We were docking in Southampton on a Celebrity Cruise when we booked this sailing departing two days later. Previously only sailed with Seabourn and Celebrity, if we had accepted the poor reviews of this ship at face value we would never have booked it - and that would have been a shame. All the speciality dining restaurants were excellent to the extent ...

We chose this particular cruise and itinerary because we had points to use or lose. (Covid delayed previous plans). We used the NCL option of having them book our flights and our pre and post cruise hotel. We arrived two days prior and stayed two days post. We also booked transfers from airport to hotel, hotel to port, port to hotel, and hotel to airport, through NCL. Those arrangements were ...

This was my 10th cruise with NCL,all on Breakaway Ships and one Baltic were very good to exceptional experiences. Dawn??? Chose this for itinerary which was very good overall. Buffet food sucked and with tours gathering at 7am theater, didn't open until 6:30. O'Sheehans and Room Service are closed 3:30 am to 6 am and 6:30 respectively. Early riser Topsiders mostly closed due to ...

Before I sailed I looked everywhere for a recent review and could not find one so here is everything I wanted to know. I (49F)have cruised before my daughter (24F) had not, we are from the UK so chose a UK cruise on an older ship, figuring if she liked that then cruising is for her. We sailed from Southampton on the 14th Sept, and ended in Southampton on 24th Sept 2023. We visited ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary because my mom really wanted to go to Orkney. She usually cruises on Oceania and paid quite a lot for a balcony club room hoping it would measure up to her previous experience. She was awfully disappointed by the room and the ship. It was old, smelled terrible and the balcony glass was filthy. No USB, few plugs and a cramped, dark closet with no lighting in ...

Even though we live in Scotland and the on,y stops in Great Britain were in Scotland, We were taking our grandson home to his parents couple days before this cruise so we thought why not . Even though there was five cruise ships in at same time u wouldn’t have known. Everything was seamless, security, getting on ship . Restaurants were open bars were open to welcome guests on . Our room was ...
