Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary that included Iceland and Greenland, and the price (we travel a lot, before the Jewel, we spent weeks in Europe and since this cruise we spent 6 weeks in Singapore, Hong Kong, and China), since we have to watch the budget. We enjoyed the itinerary, and overall the experience was good. The crew worked hard and the service was good. We loved ...

Chose this cruise because of the itinerary. Booked 25 months prior to sailing. Went with another couple. Chose to include NCL air, which was a savings. Tried to tell them we need a long layover between our home airport and the international flight due to weather issues causing air delays in northeast. NCL said no special requests. At departure day, a delay due to weather would cause ...

The only ship of this capability and what an opportunity so we had to take advantage of it. The following describes the actual experience we had. Flight from Paris We were offered the opportunity to pay to upgrade to business class and accepted it, the flight was supposed to leave at 10 a.m. but we did not leave the terminal, on a bus, to the plane until after 10:05. We had to carry ...

We were a family of 4 (husband and I in a midship club balcony suite and my 86-year-old mother-in-law and young sister-in-law a little further along the corridor in adjoining forward club balconies). We had three nights in Tromso pre cruise at the Clarion Collection With hotel – we have stayed here before for four nights in early 2020 in a quest to see the Northern lights and it is warm and ...

We chose this cruise very long ago ,and then, covid! So it was rescheduled and changed some ports a few times. We were excited about the ports, we had not been to any of them. We made plans to stay in Amsterdam for a week before boarding. We were ready to cruise when we boarded. Boarding was ok. Since we have 4 stars we got sent through right away when we arrived at the pier, in time for the ...

For perspective, this was my first time cruising on Norwegian, and I have cruised previously on Celebrity, Princess, Royal Caribbean and Carnival. My husband and I found a fantastic last minute deal on the Norwegian Star for a Norway/Iceland cruise during Aug./Sept. 2023. Given the low price we paid, and given my incoming lower image of Norwegian, I was very pleasantly surprised overall at the ...

Positives are cleanliness, food and employees. Negatives are entertainment and dropping you in remote tender ports without any concern for availability of taxis or busses to primary location. The entertainment in the primary show room was very disappointing and appeared to be low budget. One of the large bars has a piano and not sure why they never used it with a cello or violin for ...

We chose this cruise for the price and the ports. Our cruise included a good drink package and $50 off of each excursion for one of us as well as two specialty dinners. The staff was very friendly and efficient. We did not like having to pass through the smoky casino to get to restaurants, and that the smoke infiltrated the atrium areas. Time for a new air exchange system or don't the smokers ...

We have been cruising with NCL for almost 20 years. This will be out last cruise with NCL. A lot has changed (and not for the best) while cruising with them over the years. Although we are "Sapphire Level", even those "perks" have been changed and are minimal. As far as the food, room, service and entertainment - all were subpar. THE FOOD: We ate at all of the restaurants and buffet. ...

We live in Arizona and it's HOT in August! We wanted to travel somewhere where the weather was cool and the terrain was different from where we live. We were not disappointed! We were personally met at check-in and escorted up to our suite on the 12th deck. We were able to be in our room by 1:00 though our luggage arrived around 5:00. We have never stayed in a room that included butler and ...
