NCL & why I will never cruise with them again.
Currently on the Norwegian Joy.
I’m not inviting comments. No I did not know about these things before I cruised as it was purchased as part of a package. Yes I’ve cruised many time with numerous other cruise lines.
Yes may not all be correct as could have not found things .
Yes I will take certain items up with customer services and ...
We (3 couples) chose this cruise for the canada/new england/fall foliage itinerary. The norweigen pearl is in great shape and the stateroom was comfortable and adequately served (once per day.) service on board was very good, a friendly and helpful staff by and large. Meals in the main dining room were very good, as was the specialty restaurant, la cucina. I didn't enjoy the teppanyaki dining: ...
We've cruised before numerous times with Celebrity and have been on Summit before. It's really gone downhill. The ship is old and tired, there is rust everywhere, many of the areas need repair and repainting. All the niceties for a premium cruise are gone. Batheoom and Spa changing amenities are just basic now. No cotton buds, cotton wool, body lotion etc. Hard selling on the first day was ...
I went with some friends celebrating a big birthday while at sea. It was my first cruise experience and I was very disappointed. My friends are experienced cruisers and they have a good frame of reference for the cleanliness, service and amenties and they too were disappointed. Our cabin was tiny and storage was nil. I had to live out of my suitcase shoved under the bed for a significant amount ...
We have been cruising with Celebrity for many years and finally had the opportunity to travel on a much-anticipated New England/Canada fall cruise this year. We loved the itinerary and lucked out in picking a date which avoided two hurricanes, one which affected the cruise right before ours and one which might disrupt the cruise following ours. We were so fortunate and had great weather ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and because we had a great time on our last Celebrity cruise a few years back. This time around was a different experience. We arrived to our room and the floor had not been vacuumed. A large hairball was on the floor, a piece of used soap was stuck to the tissue box. We found a used razor on a shelf. Old fruit loops were under the bed, and there was a ...
Went with a group celebrating Sept. Anniversaries. Decided to go out of Baltimore, Md, our home port. Had a great cruise pkg, included air fare deal, or so we thought, 2 couples had the airfare deal, the rest didn't, poor communication on the part of the Norwegian booking agent, alot of issues there. The ship was clean the cabin stewards were great, the waiters and waitresses were awesome the ...
It’s been a while since I’ve traveled on NCL and it’s not the same.
Took the NCL Escape for a “7” night cruise to New England and Canada.
1st stop Newport dreary and raining, Didn’t really get to see much as the weather didn’t corporate.
2nd stop Portland, with No excursion planed visited the surrounding area by the port. Little of any major sites nearby.
3rd stop Bar Harbor, took the ...
We choice this cruise for 2 reasons. Number one was the itinerary and number two was the fact that we have previouslsly sailed with Oceania on the Marina, and were quite satisfied.
The overall cruise was fair at best. The ship was clean although there were some areas of deterioration. The greatest asset was the staff with the exception of the senior officers.
The most significant ...
We've sailed 11 times on Oceania over the past 14 years. This is the first time we actually felt ready to disembark the ship and move on. We always felt Oceania was something special over the years, but they've cut a few too many corners this time. The ship felt overcrowded and understaffed. Speciality restaurants are still good, but the main dining room is totally cut back in service and in food ...
