I have chosen this cruise due to having good experiences on most of NCL ships, and it left from NYC which was good for me. 2 days we both wanted to take a shower and no water for showering. The last morning very early only cold water for a shower. Note: in order to get warm water the left dial had to be on 50, yes 50. 30 something shows red for danger. At times while taking a shower the water got ...
I had been on MSC before but an older ship. I wanted to try their new one. They built it to bring the outside in, so when you walk the ship you can see water on both sides. They extended the deck above the lifeboats so you do not see them from the balconies. I loved the mix of Europeans on board, and not just Americans. We had Italians, French, Germans, UK, South America. the ship has a ...
14 day itinerary very appealing; I know I wasn't going to be thrilled with the ship itself and it didn't exceed my expectations. Public areas in ship just average; Gatsby's was useless to me because of all the cigarette/cigar smoke. Professional (theater) entertainment was weak at best, the lounge entertainment was enjoyable. The cruise director staff was fair at best.
I enjoyed myself mostly ...
We sailed on NCL Pride of Aloha to the islands of Hawaii way back and had a really great time but we chose this cruise primarily for the itinerary and that it sailed from New York and not Florida. Anything that shortens flying time is a bonus! Since then it's been Celebrity pretty much every time. Anywho, after a hideous drive into Manhattan due to a 'non pick-up' at JFK by NCL (we had to arrange ...
Ok to start staff is excellent as always.
I have been on 11 cruises now and this by far is the most disappointing ship I have been on
The new elevator touch pads are a nightmare and plan on waiting atleast 20% of your cruise on this issue
Everyone on the ship was pretty fed up with this situation and for us we had no choice to wait because my fiance was still recovering from ACL surgery ...
The itinerary and weather were superb. But what make it 5 stars was the excellent level of service. It brought me back 10 years from when I first started cruising. Ncl must have focused on service because I noticed the difference. There was plenty of cheerfulness and attentiveness.
The food was great. There were a few more choices and I couldn't complain about any dish.
The ncl shore ...
One Big Joke Of A Cruise!!!! The elevators are a joke!!! If you are on deck 8 and would like to go to deck 10 and it is 2 of you, in order to call the elevator you will need to tell the elevator how many is in your party waiting for the elevation so you will need to press "8" twice. The food was TERRIBLE!!!!!! It was cold and if you go off the boat, be back early if you want to grab something ...
We chose the Disney Fantasy due to the fun we had on the ship in 2018 and the fact that it was an 8 night cruise.
First I want to highlight the good.
1. Check in was easy and very efficient and orderly. We had rain in the area when we checked in and Disney really got people thru the lines at security very efficiently.
2. The staff was excellent. Our room host was amazing, as was our ...
Have sailed on HAL many times over the years.
Not our favorite line but consistent and convenient departure ports.
Overall, everything on the ship is acceptable for the cost.
We always take a Neptune suite to enjoy an experience that is somewhat similar to our preferred lines.
Staff needs additional training. Some very good. Others poor.
Major gripe is the Pinnacle restaurant. ...
We have been on about 20 cruises. 3rd with Royal Caribbean. We been everywhere a cruise can take you in the Caribbean and Bahamas. So we choose our cruises by the ship not destination. This ship looked spectacular. We called and booked directly with Royal Caribbean. We chose the very back inside balcony room right behind the VIP suite. They said we would be able to see the aqua show. We asked ...
