Disappointing

This was our first cruise with NCL, third overall. We chose NCL because of the departure from NOLA and it seemed like a good deal. The deal was misleading and ended up costing more due to the nickel and diming at every opportunity. Embarkation was organized and efficient. Disembarkation was disorganized, chaotic and took far longer than necessary. Our mid-ship balcony stateroom was small ...

This was a family cruise with grandparents, parents, and grandkids. The grandkids loved the Ocean Kids Club. We had to pry them away every time we went to pick them up because they were having so much fun. On day one our cabin steward introduced himself and asked if we would like the cabin serviced in the mornings between 9 am and 1 pm, in the early evening, or both. We told him we ...

Our original cruise itinerary was changed via Royal Caribbean cuz they decided to take our boat out of service for maintenance. Left with no choice due to the dates we had locked in we were forced to pick this boat. The crew and staff were beyond great!! BUT the boat needs to be gutted and completely overhauled. Its old and stinky. Everything smelled like pee. The boat only has 2 bars ...

We selected this (10 day) cruise because a large group that travels together once a year, selected this. This is our first and last cruise with Norwegian. We could barely get waited on in the restrauants. The staff could not communicate well and most appeared to show the stress of being highly overworked. We were even told by some staff that they were "short staffed". If you asked for ...

This cruise was a severe disappointment. The ship itself is ill designed, with no place that is peaceful or quiet. The food in Aquarius ran from mediocre most of the time to a few nearly inedible desserts. Trying Izumi for a change just netted us mediocre sushi at top tier prices. The entertainment in the Masquerade theatre was clearly going through the motions for the paycheck. Further since ...

My wife and I chose this cruise to for our honeymoon. We had signed up to get the packages at a good price and made a few excursions for when we got off the ship. For these parts I had no issues. Unfortunatly it was on the ship that I feel like there wasn’t much customer service. When we went to Taste and Savor for a couple of nights we got stuck waiting 20 minutes before we got to meet our waiter ...

We chose this cruise for the port of departure, New Orleans, and ports of call. New Orleans is always a great city to enjoy and explore before or after a cruise. We had sailed on her four years before and were pleased. The embarkation/self assist disembarkation was smooth and organized. We did not view any live entertainment since theater shows are not our first choice. We were very ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

We went on this cruise for a family vacation over New Years. It was not clear to us that you could only get into certain restaurants with reservations and we ended up not being able to use all of our specialty dining package. The only way we got into one of the restaurants was to show up 30 minutes before it opened to stand in line to get a table, this is not "freestyle dining" and a very poor ...

Just got off 1st NCL Cruise, family of 4. We have sailed multiple times on DCL but were ready to try something different as kids have aged out of the Disney stuff. Overall Breakaway had better food quality across the ship, and the mini-suite Cabin seemed more spacious than regular DCL balcony and had an AWESOME shower. The ship was beautiful and I preferred the smaller dining areas vs the enormous ...

We booked late, and this was what fit our budget. That should have been the first sign. The ship kept reminding me of "The Love Boat" then it occurred to me that it was almost that old of a ship. The styling, the dance floor, the carpet... It all just seems styled in the 90s. Even though I'm sure the vision has had a refit since. I'm not a huge participant in cruise activities, and I'm not ...
