Norwegian Cruise Reviews

We sailed on the Norwegian Joy March 30th 2024. Overall excellent cruise. The balcony room we had was very nice with the bed close to the sliding door to the balcony. All of the staff were excellent. We enjoyed the amount and variety of venues, restaurants and bars that the ship offered. Pool area - two pools, one for adults and one for kids. Seems like both pools are too small for the ship ...

My wife and I had an amazing time on board the Norwegian Joy. To start with, the workers at the pier were rude. The gentleman begged for a tip, and lied when he said he’d be bring our our suitcases to our room. When our bags did get to our room a big dent in one corner of my wife’s luggage. Be ready for cabs, hotel transportation and other ways for you to get to the terminal to have signs ...

We just did our first cruise this past week. The food, services, cleanliness, and attendees were wonderful. The only thing that we did not appreciate is how their employees were being exploited. I noticed fairly quickly that all the servers, attendees cools, housekeepers were from very poor countries. The only white faces who were part of the crew was the captain, entertainment, and onboarding. I ...

We especially love the Gem for the outstanding crew and staff, this is our second trip to Bermuda on the Gem. What a friendly group who gave outstanding service at all times. Our first time was before the pandemic. We were in a Club Balcony and we very happy to see it had not been totally updated, the changes to this type of cabin on Pearl was terrible, (closet hard to open, doors ...

Well I am Sapphire level on NCL. I have also cruised with many other lines but because of my level I typically pick NCL. This is the very first time in over 45 cruises in total that we did a suite. We had a forward facing balcony suite. The room was amazing until we read the sign “balcony only available when in port” and the other sign “curtains must be closed at night”. None of this was ...

The food is just awful, no other way to describe. Tbe rice in the buffet put a whole new level of Al dente. Buffet is tge worst, hard to believe any chef would put that stuff out. The chairs in the Stardust are worn out, you sink so low hard to get out. Our room was clean and the bed moderately comfortable. The decks could use some paint, rusted and paint chips on the floor. Crew in the ...

Just came back from the 7 day Southern Caribbean on the Viva. Family of five with three teenagers. Overall, an amazing cruise....one of the best out of many we have taken. We are used to the mega ships of Royal, and I wondered if the Viva would feel too small. I quickly realized it's fine. It really is a beautiful ship. I read many negative reviews here, but once being on the ship, I ...

I have sailed on the NCL Bliss 3 times (2022, 2023, 2024). This most recent cruise was to the Mexican Riviera (first time with NCL but have sailed the same itinerary on another cruise line). The ship was beautiful and the staff were generally very helpful and friendly. The buffet quality and variety is still my favorite of all the lines I’ve sailed. Based exclusively on the on-ship experience, ...

It was a great ship. It took me a day or two to get familiar with the layout, but after that, it was easy to navigate around. The food was excellent. The buffet offered a wide variety of options, ranging from simple finger food to Asian and East Indian cuisine. The specialty restaurants were amazing and the food was top-notch. The staff and crew were friendly and super helpful. It's ...

I booked this cruise as a last minute getaway as a solo traveler - I was quite nervous about the ship after reading the reviews, but decided to take the risk and I'm so glad I did! Y'all are a bunch of complainers! I've cruised with Royal, Holland and Celebrity and I'd put NCL right up there with all of them. Ship - Many reviews mention the age of the ship showing, but I didn't find this to be ...
