This was our fourth N.C.L. cruise having previously travelled on the Norwegian Gem, the Norwegian Epic and the Norwegian Spirit (and with other cruise lines). This is our favourite ship of the three N.C.L. ones. My husband and I spent ten days on the N.C.L. Spirit during Easter 2013 travelling to the Canary Islands. We had such a great time we wanted to travel on the same cruise line and ship again and this time take our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter (just under 2 years old) with us. We decided on the twelve day Mediterranean cruise as we wanted to spend longer than a week on the ship and visit as many places as possible.

We were not disappointed. We had an amazing time and can't wait to cruise with N.C.L. again. This was the first time our daughter and son-in-law had been on a cruise and they were slightly sceptical but are now complete converts and are can't wait to cruise again. I think we are all having withdrawal symptoms!

Our main praise for the Norwegian Spirit is that all the staff, without exception, work hard to make everyone feel special. Despite there being over two thousand people on the ship we were made to feel that they knew us by addressing us by name and doing their very best to make our cruise experience as excellent as they possible could. From the "washy washy, happy happy staff" to the officers and Hotel Director, without exception the staff always had a smile and time for a few words. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone and the service overall could not have been better. Read more
