Unhappy

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Norwegian Encore

Cruise was very crowded, not enough seating for shows and theater. Design of ship may hold over 5,000 passengers. Due to this, many of the core shows required a reservation and most no occupancy. The Atrium area, where a lot of game shows and the band would play was very, very crowded and no seating. Embarking took very long. DeEmbarking was even worse. They had all stairs blocked ...

This was our first cruise post Covid, so we can only compare this to 12+ pre-covid cruises with lines such as P+O, Celebrity, RCL, Princess and Cunard. Please bear this in mind when reading. Embarkation Slowest ever. Took 2 hours stood in queues (security then Ship enrolment). Could have opened additional security gates and used tickets for embarkation like previous cruises. We were ...

A Cold, Rainy and Foggy Trip to Bermuda and Bar Harbor

You can't control the weather! The weather during the trip was awful with rain, fog and colder than average temperatures. We knew that the weather was going to be a crapshoot when we booked the cruise so although we were disappointed, it didn't ruin the trip for us. If I was doing it again, I would plan for early- June through mid-September for this itinerary when the weather would be a bit ...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! It was always my dream to go to Alaska and see a humpback whale. This cruise did both through its great excursion options. I also was in need of a vacation. I chose to make this a healthy cruise - stretching classes; health classes; and healthy (-ier) food choices. The cruise also offered non-alcoholic beverages. I would like to praise to "Daniel" from South Africa in ...

We have traveled with Norwegian Cruise Line in the past and truly enjoyed it all. My NCL reservations representative is wonderful too. We chose this ship’s itinerary since our first option to travel with NCL Epic out of Barcelona was cancelled to do ship updates. Needless to say, they should update Breakaway too. Commodes did not flush properly, no automated door openings so touchy touchy, no ...

Destinations offered and time that fit with my husbands work schedule. We have usually sailed with Royal but it was not available for our schedule. We had no idea that a cruise could be so bad. The food was horrible. We started ordering based on what we thought would disappoint us the least. Left our steak on our plate the first three times then stopped ordering all beef. Everything was ...

I want to start by saying that before this cruise, we last cruised in November 2022, so right about 6 months between cruises. This cruise was definitely at full capacity. The Escape is a larger ship and you can immediately tell that every stateroom was sold out. As you walk along through the different venues it doesn’t seem very crowded but as soon as you go to the outdoor decks and pool area you ...

I got a good price on this cruise, had time to fill and it looked like a good list of destinations. The only disappointments was a cancelled tender port due to bad weather (Stornoway, Isle of Lewis), and tendering for Dublin which has a perfectly fine cruise terminal, which just added stress and shortened the time available to visit Dublin. I took this cruise 10 days after my other cruise on ...

Ncl botched disembark by not announcing the luggage tags of the people that had flights to catch. So we missed our flights When we tried to disembark So we wouldn't Miss flight we were denied. Embarkment was two hours My balcony was by the nightly entertainment which kept me up. Paid internet did not work. Shutting room lights was a hazard for seniors who couldn't find the ...

Took an Anniversary cruise with Norwegian and never again. Neighbors were smoking on there balcony and cruise staff did nothing. The smell of marijuana was all over the place. People were vaping in the hallways and on the pool deck. Food was terrible at the Buffett and dining rooms. They save the good food for Specialty dining. Had pictures of neighbors smoking and staff said we didn't have ...
