I booked this cruise as a 30th birthday present for my boyfriend. We departed out of Miami for a 7 day cruise to Costa Maya, Mexico, Harvest Caye, Belize, Roatan, Honduras, and Cozumel, Mexico. The food on the ship is excellent. The drinks are good as well. It definitely pays to purchase the beverage package as well as the specialty dining package. We ate at Teppanyaki. The chef was great and ...
I have cruised on NCL many times and I have enjoyed myself and had a wonderful experience except this time. First and foremost the ship was too loud and I don't mean just because there was music or people talking but because the music was so loud in any common area where there was music playing you couldn't talk. One must shout! and then not be heard. The noise was over powering. It was almost a ...
This cruise was convenient after a work conference at Tampa
Embarkation was a little slow but organized into groupings, we still got on board in an hour or so.
We had the free at sea, the beverage package was nice. We missed the pop machines on Royal Caribbean, you had to wait at the bar for a soda and they did not have bottled water which would have been convenient.
The entertainment ...
The cruise was advertised through Expedia and included 2 ports I was interested in visiting: Belize and Roatan. The price seemed a good deal for time of year and we chose a balcony cabin 13th floor aft.
We flew in to Miami and took a cab to the cruise terminal. Check-in moved quite smoothly and we were placed in a rather dingy room to await boarding. As we were early this took a while and there ...
This was our first cruise on Norwegian and my wife and I were pleasantly surprised. We have cruised before with other cruise lines and have high expectations. The entertainment was outstanding. The best we have seen on any cruise line so far. The food was excellent. We did not dine in any of the specialty dining venues. There was no need to. We did experience some inconsistency in the dining room ...
Having previously been on Royal Caribbean’s Mega Ships (Oasis & Allure) and also with Carnival, this was our first time trying out Norwegian. We chose it because of the Western Caribbean itinerary and because the ship “Getaway” was fairly new. Overall, we were disappointed with our experience as we expected better.
NEGATIVE:
• The food was only ok, and it appeared that they offered the ...
We chose this cruise because I'd always heard good things about Norwegian Cruise Lines and we liked the ports of call for this trip - slightly different than the "usual" Caribbean stops.
The ship was amazing - beautiful, massive yet not overwhelming, clean. There were so so many different settings all on one ship (i.e. different types of bars, restaurants, entertainment)!
At any given ...
Hi everyone. We are experienced cruisers and enjoy various lines. Had not cruised NCL in 2 years but decided we liked the Getaway itin for this particular week.
Got to FL on Saturday and stayed at the Marriott on the bay--along with many other cruisers on the 6 ships that were in port that Sunday.
Got to the port around 11:15am via Uber from the hotel. Went through security and then ...
We just returned from a week in the Haven on the Getaway and it's hard to get back to reality!
We are yearly cruisers, mostly using NCL but have also cruised Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Celebrity. Picked this cruise and Haven to celebrate my wife's birthday. We had a 2BR suite on the 15th deck.
Embarkment - Good, but not great. We had high expectations for Haven embarkation, but the ...
I chose this cruise to check out the single cabins that Norwegian is not offering. This was my first cruise with Norwegian and my first cruise in a number of years. I drove to the cruise port and easily dropped off luggage and parked in the (Expensive) on pier lot. Security was very fast and after I discovered that I had left something in my car, I was able to exit and return without any issue. ...
