My family was so excited to be sailing on the Armonia for the Christmas cruise to Cuba. When I booked this cruise I advised the MSC ticket agent that my daughter suffers from Celiac Disease and would require a gluten free meal plan. At no point in the conversation did the rep advise me that accommodating my daughters dietary issues would be a problem. You see I have previously traveled with ...
This was our third experience with Norwegian after sailing on the Breakaway twice. We chose this cruise for our family of 4 which included myself, my husband and 2 young adult daughters, ages 23 and 19. We were looking forward to time away as a family during the holiday season. We chose the Sky only for the Cuba itinerary as we have been to the Caribbean numerous times and wanted to try ...
We chose this cruise for the exciting opportunity to spend a day and a half in Cuba with our family at Christmas with stops along the way in Great Stirrup Cay and the Bahamas. Before boarding the cruise we received and email stating that they had shortened our day and a half in Cuba to 18 hours. We were sad but still super excited to be going. When we arrived we noticed that the ship could use ...
We have taken other Norwegian cruises, and cruises offered other lines, but this was by far the worst cruise we have ever been on. We went on the ship to experience go to Havana. Our time was already limited because after booking but before sailing Norwegian had cancelled half a day. Then to have our time greatly limited in Havana because of engine trouble causing a late arrival, and Norwegian’s ...
To have a cultural experience in Cuba
We were there in the dark. Skipped one Island, too windy. Not other ships were there.
Should have had a full day and 1/2 of another. We had a dock time of AM, We got there in pm. So dark you could not see anything. On the tour, they told us to take pictures in the total dark. It was a day schedule, that did not leave until dark The three-hour tour ...
This was my 5th cruise overall. Ship stunk horribly, even outside like sewer. Not appealing when you are trying to eat or enjoy sun. I booked a shoe excursion in Stirrup Cay online and printed a paid confirmation only to have them not honor the paid receipt because the excusution was over booked, I paid and booked the event a month in advance. Was delayed by 4 hours in Cuba because of ...
We picked this cruise because of wanting to visit Cuba. This was our second and last trip with Norwegian. The first Norwegian Cruise they gave us the wrong room. It was very disappointing to take this cruise heavily discounted to make up for the first and this cruise was a very bad experience!! Stirrup Cay was cancelled because of rough ocean/weather conditions. They attempted to make up by ...
We, as most of the passengers on this ship, choose it because it promised so much time on land in Cuba. THAT was LAST year, NO LONGER. We were in Cuba ONLY 3.5 days. And the ship constantly blamed the government when that was not usually the case. Crew members readily admitted that they could not remember ever being on land for seven days.
Furthermore, we are cruisers who typically sail with ...
We wanted to experience Cuba before it gets too commercial so we booked a 12day/11 night cruise on the Pearl Mist. We ended up being on Cuban soil only 4 days of the entire trip, and they added Freeeport, Bahamas for the 5th day off the ship; way too much time at sea. While Cuba itself was fantastic, the food on the ship was very good and it was very clean, it was completely unacceptable that ...
Their Cuba itinerary is a straight flat lie!
They publish as if they are having 7 excursion days in the island of Cuba, out of 12 total cruise days.
We actually got only 3 excursion days! (2 full days and 2 half days) in Cuba. Not to mention that they cruise during the day and dock at night, instead of cruising at night and leaving the days for touring.
There was nothing to do onboard ...
