NCL going downhill

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Breakaway

10+ Cruises • Age 40s

We have been on 9 cruises with NCL and noticed significant differences on this last one. Far less staff in the dining room and fewer cabin stewards in the halls. Staff seemed overwhelmed and frustrated. Everything is an up charge and requires reservations. The ports were good I liked Harvest Caye more then I thought I would. We arrived late to Belize City and had to sit in the dining room for over ...

the service at the out side bars on deck 15 by the pools was under staffed all the time had to wait in long line 10 -15 min. for a drink notice 1 person sitting at the bar on a stool at the bar and ordered another drink the bartender told him he would have to get up leave his seat and go get in line to get a drink. If you smoke, on deck 15 the only place you could smoke was a small area that was ...

We decided to take this cruise as a celebration of our daughter's graduation from college. We booked it almost a year ago, and we anxiously counted down the days until we took the trip. We love cruising and are always enthusiastic about trying new ships. We started out with 2 balcony cabins on deck 10, but we put in for an upgrade to a spa balcony. The room with 3 people (our daughters and my ...

The ship was refurbished in 2018 but it’s been a very hard 12 months on the old girl, from threadbare carpets, bubbling varnish on the handrails, to rust and bubbling pain she really needs another facelift. The crew doesn’t enforce the no smoking policy throughout the ship and the open smoking in casino permeates the entire ship (really stinks). The muster drill was a total disaster with a ...

We chose this cruise for a family event. We are normally Carnival Cruise guests, but was excited to set sail with NCL. Got the NCL reward credit card and all. They refused to credit the $200 in points. They ran out of Budlight and Ultras and they were often hot when they did have. The mixed drinks and shots were made with watered down alcohol served by bitter bartenders. One of the ports is ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

I booked with a large group of friends and had a good time, but was not overly impressed with the layout of the ship. Service was sorely lacking in the dining. We Went eat in 3 of the restaurants on board the ship and we were never asked by any of the waiter/waitress for anything to drink other than the provided glasses of water. I Paid $9.95 a day to stay in contact with my son through the ...

Mardi Gras week out of New Orleans to get my hubby away from Mardi Gras. Food service in Savor extremely slow. Food service in LA Bistro slow. Beverage service in the casino extremely slow. The casino smelled horrible!!! Not being able to book comedy show was a disappointment. My cabin was not clean. Moved coffee tray to other side of counter & counter looked like it hadn't been ...

Restaurants were good but the buffet food was bland and not good. We found ourselves purchasing dinner for a good meal. The gym was nice but you had to purchase spa access for $200 to enjoy a steam or sauna. There was no complimentary water and every water fountain has a do not fill your water bottle sign even in the gym. Very little entertainment poolside, slow or absent service. The only show we ...

My wife and I chose this cruise because we had cruised with NCL before and really liked it. Additionally we thought choosing New Orleans as the port would be fun and it certainly was. As I mentioned we cruised with NCL before and stayed in The Haven as we did with this cruise. We both noticed things were just "off" with respect to service compared to our last cruise with NCL. There were siginicant ...

Disappointed with Belize city and Harvest Caye ports of call

There is nothing special about the NCL’s private island, Harvest Caye. The excursion we wanted to book was closed with no explanation. Our “plan B” excursion was only available after 12 o’clock when it’s getting hot. So we end up walking around the 75 acre island for an hour and went back to the ship. I don’t understand why cruise lines want to visit Belize city. The ship had to anchor quite a ...
