Subcontract Fights!

Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Norwegian Pearl

We booked a cruise with NCL, also paid for them to book our flights, and paid for transport to and from the airport to ship. Our paperwork from NCL stated to fly from American Airlines. When in reality the airlines subcontracted it out to another airline .5 miles away! Total screw-up on NCL end! Cruse was ok, though the hot tub was only 98 degrees. Everything was extra, and you paid dearly for it. ...

We chose this cruise because of the allure of the ports planned for the cruise and the expectation of hitting the fall colors This cruise left Boston, up into Canada and back through two stops in Maine. Overall, an average cruise on an average ship. Here is a summary of the different components. Ship – The ship seemed to be of medium size. We were a little disappointed in the Atrium area, ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

I am not a fan of online reviews. I don't like Yelp or Trip Advisor for this reason I hate the idea of hurting people's jobs. In this case I have to let everyone know how unhappy and awful Norwegian was to us. My wife and I took our mothers on a cruise because we thought it would be easy and a special way to be with the both of them. My mother in law is in early stages of dementia and ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted to visit places where the leaves were changing, and for the most part, we were able to see the beautiful colors (several of the Canadian stops had been hit hard by a hurricane 2 weeks prior). We chose Norwegian because we had a previous wonderful cruise on the Breakaway. We were very disappointed by the Pearl. Frankly, our group of six found the ship ...

This cruise has long been delayed and postponed due to COVID. Began in Quebec where embarkation was very impressive. Very smart to have check in times. Cabins have much less storage space. The safety video is smart but very annoying to get MULTIPLE emails indicating the need to watch it. Someone should fix this. The 24 hour Sheehans is nice to have as a backup for meals. The restaurant ...

Embarkation in Boston September 30, 2022 Went very smoothly ESPECIALLY as we were first cruise without pre-Covid Test requirement and ArriveCan requirement. Our check-in time was 10:00-10:30. We were onboard having lunch by 11:30 AM. After lunch we checked in to our Muster Station assignment. Sail Away from Boston: Friday 9/30/22 We had our Roll Call Sail Away get together at 4-6 PM on ...

This was our 13th cruise and first with Norwegian. We are sold on the Freestyle cruising. Food was probably the best we've had on a cruise ship. We did dinner mainly in the Summer Palace. We did a couple specialty restaurants which were fine but the food in the dining rooms was also very good. Food availability seemed to be everywhere. Buffet was actually pretty good, however sometimes the food ...

My friend and I took the Norwegian Pearl -to New England and Canada, departing from Boston on Sept 2. Boston Port was organized and we sat in sections for our boarding group. After check in at the muster station location, ate lunch at the Summer Palace. This was our main go to free sit down restaurant. It seemed bigger and more open then the other sit down restaurants. It was pretty empty ...

This was our first cruise on NCL and from reviews I was not expecting to be wowed. I wasn't but it was better in many ways than I expected. I received a dining package so I did try two specialty restaurants. I found the main dinning rooms be be excellent and the buffet quite good. Can't say the same for the specialty options. The Italian was just OK and the French was trying too hard to be top ...

We picked this cruise out of Boston for the Canada and Maine destinations and enjoyed all five ports. With regard to shore excursions, we especially enjoyed the Bar Harbor Epicurean Experience, the Sydney Pub tour was entertaining, and the Halifax Deluxe Hop on Hop Off was a good idea with some entry costs being included. However, we were very disappointed with the food. While the menus were ...
