Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Norwegian Pearl

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

I chose Norwegian based on a friend's recommendation. I turned 60 this year and it was my birthday present to myself. It started out badly and just got worse from there. My flight was delayed, the airline rerouted me so I would make it to the ship, then proceeded to lose my bag so I boarded with nothing with me. I went to Guest services, explained what had happened, they gave me a tee shirt and ...

Not a great first time experience with NCL

We are experienced cruisers but this was a first time with NCL. We had issues with their web site and App from the beginning, as they reversed the scheduled itinerary, the day final payment was due. Excursions were posted for our ports of call sporadically and kept showing up and disappearing. I logged on at midnight, the day Specialty Restaurant Dining reservations were available, and within ...

The crew seemed not to know their duties or responsibilities. Conflicting responses to questions. Getting off the boat for excursions led to a confrontation with one of the people directing the offloading. We were told that gold latitude members could get priority debarking on tender days. The second tender day, only passengers with cruise tours got off first. The food experience in the ...

Poorly managed

It wasn’t all bad, but I won’t cruise with Norwegian again. I much preferred my Royal Caribbean experience. Some of the staff were quite rude, and not just once. Most were quite friendly and some of the bartenders were even great. But a couple of bartenders in the atrium bar were repeatedly rude to patrons. I blame this more on them being understaffed. Which brings me to my next ...

Great Cruise to get your drink on, not so great otherwise

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Carnival Liberty

We chose this cruise because we were looking for a cheap weekend getaway, preferably out of Port Canaveral as we drive down from metro Atlanta. The old adage you get what you pay for should have been popping into my head. We tried Carnival because I had sailed to Cozumel many years ago on Sensation and remembered it fondly. After this sailing it all makes sense why. When I sailed on the Sensation, ...

Not the best cruise company experience

1. Before we booked the cruise I specifically asked the NCL sales person what would happen if the price decreased after we booked. I was advised we would be offered a portion of the difference as onboard credit. A couple of months after we paid, the booking price decreased by $400.00 for a two week period beginning a month before the sail date. When we inquired about the decrease, we were instead ...

We chose the November 8, 2019 9 day cruise just my wife and I. We have cruised many times before (many different cruise lines) and understand things don't always go as you expect or would like, but Norwegian should be rethinking where they are going and review how their management team performed. From ridiculously long lines on day one to a tender process that could have been better managed by a ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

EMBARKATION This took about 40 minutes end-to-end, which was much faster than other cruises I have been on. Disembarkation at ports was well managed and fast, aside from one occasion when it was complete chaos after a docking delay, as passengers were not provided with revised timings. Timely information was provided on the procedure at ports, plus advice on local customs, tourist ...

By far the worst cruise. Don’t go on the Ruby

What Princess Cruise Lines won’t tell US citizens embarking from Australia. They will try to cheat you! 1. Although you purchase everything in US dollars, your onboard credit you were promised is not in US Dollars anymore, but in AUD. We were jipped! 2. TIP: Usually the tip is mandatory/included in most cruises for US citizens, but you do NOT have to pay the fixed tip for Embarking from ...

Never been on a cruise to the Caribean before and wanted something more than a 7-day vacation. Embarking from New Orleans was a nightmare. It took over 3 hours to board and it was a complete mob scene. I had the full drink package but the bars were woefully understaffed, and the bartenders on duty only knew one speed...slow. So I really could not take advantage of this feature. Our room ...
