Tahiti to Hawaii inaugural cruise for this port and updated ship. They took up all passports and would not give back as stated till 6 days into cruise after visiting other countries. Forgot to load orange juice onto ship. No one knows anything. Told no daily puzzles or library area by ft desk. Wrong as a Multifunctional Room on top floor. Have canceled or changed over half of shore excursions ...
Service was poor in Effy jewelry area. Personal we’re rude at times and if you weren’t buying something didn’t want to answer questions. Casino charges fees to access your cabin charges. Suggest you take cash only to casino. Machines were super tight as well as tables. Ocean Blue and La Cucina had the best food by far. The local dining area was also great and personal were friendly and helpful. ...
Just home from 7 day cruise on the Epic.this was my partners first cruise and my first cruise on norweign having previously sailed with Royal Caribbean on 7 occasions .
We booked everything via Norwegian including flights. The flights where great with aer lingus and vueling(such a good airline first time flying with them)
I had applied for the upgrade to a 2 bed state room in the Haven as a ...
We chose this cruise as a small Celebration cruise to see Alaska for the 5th time after finally also we chose the Bliss as we have sailed with Norwegian they many global areas ! The Bliss being a new ship we thought WHY NOT !
Upon embarkation and our 1st meals we started to notice what is we suppose is to be Norwegian’s NEW Normal .
1. Lower quality Food , sub par, Low Grade Beef ...
In my opinion there is no better way to see 4 Hawaiian islands than by taking the Pride of America. This cruise was the 4th sailing of this cruise since NCL started up again. Overall we thought every part of the cruise was very good. Check in was all of 10 minutes and we were on board. We were very pleased to get a balcony upgrade - this was our first hint that the cruise was sailing at less than ...
This review is about our return to cruising and our experience on this 4th cruise week since the Covid shutdown 2 years ago. We cruised Norwegian 2/20 just before shutdown, so having returned this morning 5/7/22 from Norwegian's Pride of America (Hawaiian) cruise and cruisetour. Here's what we experienced and we will refer to this post-Covid experience onboard and not life about the ship itself. ...
We chose this 5 day to Bermuda for convenience out of NYC.
Positive comments: The Joy is a nice ship with a beautiful Observation Lounge on Deck 15 which has a lovely decor with quality leather chairs and chaise lounges. There was a bar and Starbucks along with a mini buffet for breakfast and afternoon snacks.
Overall food and service in dining areas was good.
Negative comments: ...
We liked the itinerary, so we went ahead and booked it. We regret our decision as our previous experience on a cruise was a Oasis class RC ship, which has WAY more stuff to do. Almost all the shows were cancelled (including the two main shows) and the included food was borderline awful. Simply put, we got bored and regret this sailing. The vibe we got is this was more of a booze-cruise where ...
We have been waiting to rebook the 2 Bedroom Haven since Covid. I choose the Joy because of the length (5 nights)was a perfect length to travel w/our special needs son. Husband wasn't able to accompany us because he not vaccinated. We came home positive, glad now he stayed home. The ship was absolutely beautiful!! I can't say enough about the Heaven, the staff, food and service was amazing! I ...
Originally we had planned a Princess Cruise to the Canaries in March/April but unfortunately I tested positive for Covid the day before departure. So chose this cruise as one of the few alternatives available to fit into our schedule (not a work schedule but the Grandparent schedule) when we had recovered (although I was asymptomatic). We wish we had not bothered!
We flew to Athens a few days ...
