We chose this cruise because it was going out of NY and we wouldn't have to fly. The problem with this ship is the size and amount of people it holds. You could not do anything on this ship without reservations. I thought Norwegian was supposed to be freestyle cruising? It is definitely not! We were unable to get reservations to any of the specialty restaurants because they were all booked by the ...
We've been on 12 cruises with all different cruise ships in the past. We will never go with NCL again. It is clear from the way they treated the paying guests of this cruise that they are in it to gouge the customer and offer as little service as possible.
There were enormous lines for EVERYTHING. You could barely move in the public areas of the ship because of the number of people crammed ...
While our overall vacation was good, there's too much competition for my cruising dollar to put up with the issues we had on Norwegian. Admittedly, a lot of it is nit-picky, but not when you're going through it. These were our pain points:
* I was shocked to find one swimming pool on a ship that size (and a tiny one at that). No other ship I've been on has had less than three. Granted, this is ...
We just completed a 7-day cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy, departing April 13th, 2019, and returning April 20th. In short, we saved up for two years for what we believed would be an wonderful and memorable experience, but instead were disappointed by almost every significant aspect of the trip.
The disappointment began almost immediately. After working with the front desk to sign up for a ...
This cruise was given to us from a casino, we chose to take this one because the port was convenient to us, and we had never been to the Caribbean. Because both of us got a "free" cruise, we combined the two and upgraded to a balcony cabin.
The ship was extremely crowded. The smoking area and main pool bar, was at the kiddie pool area,
We paid for an all inclusive drink package: did not ...
It started with no parking so we parked about 6 blocks away for $53 per day.
Food at Cagney terrible. Filet and veal chop were dry. We had to upgrade our food package for a good meal at Ocean Blue. Tropicana room was beautiful but had a terrible selection. My hisband ordered a strip steak that was paper thin. After looking at the menu and nothing was great I ordered fried chicken. It was ok. ...
My husband and I were recently on the Norwegian Getaway Ship that sailed from NYC on Saturday April 13 and returned Saturday April 20, 2019. We have used Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruise lines, but this was our first experience on NCL. It was awful. This was by far the worst cruise we have ever had the displeasure of sailing.
We had so many issues, I don’t even know how to rank them, so ...
Our experience with this cruise was so disappointing in every area. If you're cruising, please do yourself a favor and go with ANY other company!
Food/Dining:
The food was terrible. Truly. The pizza was like frozen from a grocer’s freezer section, apple pies were like rubber, and every other dessert I tried had no flavor and came out of a box. Our food on Carnival (only other cruise ...
We booked this cruise with extended family. First stop was CocoaCay. All the on ship advertising and email that we received mislead us to believe that the water park and resort style pool was open. The staff on the ship agreed with me that our kids will have a wonderful time on the waterslides at CocoaCay. When we got there, it is still under construction. Really disappointed the kids. ...
4200 cruisers and 1700 staff. Like being stuck in NYC. We waited in lines all week for elevators, excursions, drinks, dinner. You could not get into buffet and find a table or a chair at the poll. Taste & Savor had horrible service with buffet quality food. I can say the Manhattan room was best dinner on board. Great Stirrup Cay Island was so crowded with 2 other ships there you could barely get ...
