Belgium Cruise Reviews

We chose this itinerary as we wanted to do London (5 days prior) and the British isles. We had a standard balcony. It worked for us but I think I prefer the deluxe balcony with a bit more room. Our room steward, Romy, was excellent. The September weather, although pleasantly cool, didn’t lend itself to sitting out on a balcony nor sunbathing. No big deal. We enjoyed the ports especially Cork, ...

We cruised on this same ship - Regal about 4 yrs ago on the Baltic Cruise. The quality of the food and service since then has improved. The dining room dinners were very good - better than 4 yrs ago. The service seemed better too. Our attendants were on the ball. The first cruise on Regal we had mini suite and this time we had mini suite one level higher and one room further forward. The cabin ...

We chose NCL as we'd been on a few cruises before with other companies and have enjoyed them all. We mistakenly thought NCL would be similar. I would never, under any circumstances travel with this ridiculous company again and would strongly recommend others to avoid them. The ship is very nice, the staff are mostly approachable with a couple of very notable exceptions the interiors are ...

This was our fourth NCL cruise, but the first for quite a while preferring Celebrity and RCL but this itinerary included many of our “bucket list” ports, including Reykjavik and Lerwick (Shetland). It is very obvious that they are understaffed, and undertrained. The front-line help is courteous enough but not prepared or allowed to problem solve. There is lack of communication between ...

NCL GETAWAY 9/15-10/1 16 DAY WESTERN EUROPEAN CRUISE THE GOOD: The food was uniformly good. Whether in the main dining room, the buffet or the specialty dining rooms I had no complaint. Plentiful servings promptly served. Entertainment was top notch. The dancers in "BURN THE FLOOR" were as energetic as one could imagine. The "MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET" was superb. All 4 of the ...

Chosen for 16 day Northern Europe itinerary. 3 days of excursions were cancelled due to weather. Ship arrived late at two additional ports. On board activities were crowded, people had to sit on deck for many activities. Restaurant lines were so long they blocked elevator access. Onboard entertainment required reservations for many shows and passengers who attempted to book these on board found ...

This was our second cruise. The first was also with Norwegian and went well. Ship arrived on time, docked in places suitable for an easy visit in port. We foolishly thought that was how all cruises might work. Not on the Getaway, which was a mess from the start. Our room was opposite a crew exit, which was left open so that any drunk passenger could use at 2am or 3am. I eventually had to sleep on ...

What should have been a relaxing cruise for two ended up as a constant battle against a ship and its crew. There was no hospitality on board, worst cruise experience I have ever had. At one point I had to fear for my life and not one person would take responsibility. We were stuck in line on deck 2 with over 100 other passenger for more than a hour with no information or assistance, only after ...

This ships is the pits, if this is a new concept for NCL, then they have got it drastically WRONG. The cabins, food and beverages where fine, but the service in the restaurants and bars left a LOT to be desired. A lack of staff and poor IT systems just lead to frustration and delay, wrong orders, etc. Far to much commercial space such as shopping, casino, pay per use dining, VR studio, go cart ...

I am perplexed by the negative reviews. The Prima is a beautiful ship with outstanding service and wonderful itineraries. I wouldn’t change a thing about it with the possible exception of an additional entertainment. Be sure to book dinners at some of the specialty restaurants, as they are very good. The main dining rooms offer very good food as well. We enjoyed some of the little surprises we ...
