We chose to cruise out of Boston because we live in Maine saving us on airfare. We were so excited and the boarding process was flawless. We literally walked right on at 1:30pm. We started our time at the Garden Cafe and there appeared to be a lot of selections for my three teens and my parents. Salads, soups, sandwiches, grilled items, and plenty of desserts. By the end of the cruise the ...
Check-in process was easy my balcony room is updated and very clean. The buffet was absolutely disgusting. The burger rolls were hard and moldy. I let the cook know the rolls were moldy and I saw him take the entire basket out. My son went to make a burger and I checked his bread and full of mold. The rolls were put back after I left. That’s absolutely disgusting. We had plumbing issues Tuesday. I ...
Embarkation was confusing due to discrepancies with Bermuda rules for testing. It it 4 days in advance. NCL - 3 days. On NCL webpage you can find statement - county rules supersedes NCL. Not so. You have to be careful there. Food was ok but very little selection. For breakfast- the same thing every day - eggs mostly . Entertainment- so so. One level above Caribbean resorts, especially on deck and ...
Let me first tell you that I have sailed 36 times on nine different cruise lines in eight different ports and the experience that I had in New York was the worst I have ever seen. Upon arrival at the port, it became very clear that the time they requested you to embark was a joke. We got in line just to enter the terminal and waited for an hour and a half just to get into the terminal! Once ...
Embarkation from Bayonne NJ:
Upon arrival to the cruise terminal everyone was friendly and helpful. Without delay, we dropped off our large luggage and parked in the adjacent garage. Once inside the terminal, masks were required, but some opted out. Mask wearing was only slightly enforced. We breezed through security, and final document checkpoint and were then directed to a seating area for ...
We were booked on one of the first cruise from NYC that was canceled when th Pandemic started in March 2019. After 3 other canceled cruises, this is our first cruise in a long time. We have Sapphire status on NCL but have seen a decline in the perks. Over all a very enjoyable cruise as it was only 65% full resulting in lots of open space and virtually no line up for dining. The best surprise was ...
We were rescheduled from July 2020 to this cruise.
PROS: Interesting to sail out the Chesapeake Bay and see all the bridges and lighthouses. Clean room and ship. Food and wait staff were great. We had a food allergy in our group and the staff went above and beyond to meet her needs. Desserts were wonderful. Games were fun. Bermuda was beautiful. The app was helpful with dinner menus and ...
Chose this cruise purely because we wanted to go to Bermuda and it leaves out of Boston. First of all the food was terrible, very bland mostly tasteless. Also everyone in my party had stomach issues due to the food for the entire trip. They also had a lack of bartenders resulting in one bartender tending to his own bar as well as the drinks for two restaurants, way too much work for one person. ...
About the Reviewer: I’m a middle-aged man who has taken cruises on several lines including Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, MSC Cruises and Carnival Cruise Line. The most cruises I’ve done is with NCL with this being my 29th voyage with the company. This was my third cruise back since COVID began with other experiences being on the Oasis of the Seas (October 2021) and ...
We booked this sailing after having a 2020 and 2021 sailing canceled. The weeks leading up to the cruise were stressful with waiting for the Bermuda travel authorizations, Canada travel authorization, covid tests, and then a last-minute phone call (4PM on 06/03) from the cruise company alerting us to a weather change from a cruise to Bermuda to Canada (where the temps were in the low 60-degree ...
