First, let me state that we are very experienced cruise travellers on several cruise lines including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Princess, NCL, Celebrity, and the German luxury line of Hapag-Lloyd. The majority of my cruises have been on Celebrity. This was our first cruise with MSC and, sadly, probably our last. We were truly excited for this cruise with the anticipation of trying a new line ...
This cruise was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. NCL has clearly reduced its staff and offerings and is in line with Carnival or lower cruises. We have been on at least 5 NCL cruises in the past (and Around 20 overall) and this 8 night trip was far and away the worst ever. The food was so bad that we ate dinner at the Irish Pub 3x. Shore excursions were cancelled with little or no ...
New Ship and we like NCL. Food cold, late and boring. Buffet poorly layed out. Never enough seats. All venues’ temperatures were very cold. Most individuals had sweaters an d jackets on to be comfortable!! The show we saw was horrible; we’ve been on 50+ cruises and without a doubt it was the worst we have ever seen!! We were on the Joy at Easter and it’s were Broadway like in comparison. The ship ...
Sailed Holiday cruise, which was impacted by winter storm Elliott, no fault of NCL. Smartly, NY closed the harbor so the Ship could not sail until the next morning, and it was a good thing! Embarkation process was easy. However please read, and take your chances if you book: Very Understaffed ship, yet the ship sailed full, possibly over booked. The ship was unbelievably crowded. NCL did not have ...
I would not recommend norwegian and for sure not norwegian prima to anyone especially if you have children! The worst vacation and cruise i have ever been on. We literally got off this yesterday morning and could not be happier to be off the boat. I have 3 kids under 5 and prior to booking our cruise i called the norwegian customer service to make sure the boat was kid friendly and kid ...
Do you know what you get when you go on a ship with a capacity of 3,963 and there are 5900 people on board, the Worst Cruise Ever. I sailed on the Getaway out of NYC on 12/23/22. The weather was horrible (which I know was not NCLs fault) so we were stuck in port until 12/24. This resulted in a tax on every drink that we ordered for the time we were in port. The excursion to the private island ...
MSC is a disaster and I will not cruise with them again, regardless of the seemingly lower fare. Here are several key problems:
1) Deceptive. Tricks you into spending more than you should. You are highly pressured into upgrades because the basic fare covers so little (e.g. you will decide to upgrade food because you'll get sick of the basic options--which are kept extremely limited, presumably ...
Absolute nightmare of a cruise, so much so that I was questioning the probability of being able to swim back to Port Canaveral and make it. We got the cruise for a lower cost than our usual cruises with Royal Caribbean, and we never regretted it more.
NOTE: This review was written before we arrived at port and disembarked. Therefore, this review will not include any complaints about ...
The ship looked gorgeous, very lux Italian style but very bad Management and not enough facilities to support the passenger volume with activities and facilities closed most of the day. You spend more time in line than enjoying your vacation.
Activities:
They close the pools and hottubs by 8pm. This is the first time I've ever seen lines to into a pool or hot tub. Not enough chairs and ...
Wow, where do I even start. This was a trip for my father in-laws birthday celebration. We get there it's delayed 12 hours due to the inclement weather (totally understandable). First night my inlaws have absolutely no HEAT (mind you NYC was at 15 degrees) they were freezing, and of course my father in law got sick. Day 2 room still freezing, vents blowing cold air, and we are all wondering ...
