I wanted to see the new Atlantic Bridge, and we had a good view from this ship. Embarkation and disembarkation in Tampa each took two hours of standing in line with new chairs or benches available and workers trying to get us to crowd forward even though the line wasn’t moving. Norwegian has the best rewards for previous cruisers, better than other cruise lines. Cagneys the first time had ...

I was disappointed on the countries we visited because the ship only took us to CARGO PORTS. We could no get to the city because it was too far. And the ports they stopped were surrounded by forest Trees it looked like the jungle. This is the worst NCL Cruise out of the 10 NCL Cruises I have taken in the past years. What I really enjoyed Was the Restaurants and the food they served. Also the ...

The travel group in our community had set up a good deal for this cruise, and we are very pleased to have gone. A few of the ports we visited were less than wonderful and/or not interesting but others were great fun. Service on the boat was good overall, food was so-so (most of the meat dishes we ate in the dining room were overcooked and a bit tough but the appetizers were great and you could ...

This was my first cruise to Panama and Central America. I wanted to see the canal and the wildlife of the area. It was a rocky start to the cruise. Embarkation was a total nightmare.Anyone who was told to embark after 11am was left to stand for hours before even getting into the terminal. The reason given for the situation was that the ship had to undergo an inspection by the USCG since it was ...

This is our 10th cruise with ncl and we all noticed a change for the worse with regard to customer service, dining, activities and general ship maintenance. From embarkation, which was disorganized and had 2000 people standing room only without water or chairs for two plus hours, to disembarkation, also unorganized, we found the cruise lacking from previous times. We were a party of 5 and all ...

We have always wanted to cruise through the Panama Canal and found a deal with Norwegian (our favorite cruise line) from San Diego to Tampa. This was our 9th cruise, and we found the San Diego terminal to be the most chaotic. Once onboard, though, we were back with our Norwegian 'family'.....even ran into some crew members that we had met on a previous cruise on the Pearl..........The Cruise ...

ABOUT MY CRUISE: SHIP/NCL - PRE-BOOKING ITEMS - DON'T DO IT. As items you book are charged diectly to your card at time of booking the item(both excursions and fixed priced dining). I had thought it would all go thru my onboard account... WRONG. So it quicly got confusing when onboard I canceled my reservation for Moderno. They had no problem canceling. But only becaused I asked, did ...

Chose the cruise because we could see friends and relatives in the San Diego area, sail thru Panama Canal as I have always wanted to do, and then be back home in Florida. Came in a week early to see San Diego, but there was to much too see. Pacific Ocean was choppy, and so was the Caribbean, most than usual in Caribbean. Hurricane in Pacific prevented us from stopping at Cabo San Lucas. ...

After cruising on the ncl pride of America in Hawaii I said I would never use nick again. On that cruise I felt the staff thought we were doing them a favor. I only took this cruise because if fit our time frame and iternary. Glad we gave nick another chance because this crew and staff we fantastic. We spent our 50 anniversary on this cruise and loved every minute. The only complaints we have ...
