Many things wrong with this ship. Very outdated Ship, desperately needs a refurbish Most guests older, not a lot of kids Specialty Restaurants Giovanni's was ok, Chops was horrific I ordered a bone in rib eye so did my wife and we got, a different cut. Staff was friendly Windjammer was not same quality as the bigger boats Too many disappointments Ship should be named JUNK ...

We just returned from The Liberty of Seas 3 nt. Cruise from Ft. Lauderdale. This was our 3rd cruise with Royal Caribbean. The other cruises we’ve taken with them have been good. This one was a little weird and annoying. There were some good parts, but the no-so-good parts almost ruined it completely for us. DAY 1: After dropping off our luggage at the specified (covered) area (it was raining), ...

This ship isn't meant for any bad weather. You feel EVERY wave and they often miss ports due to the inability to stabilize. Also, there are no adult only hot tubs so you better love sitting with kids packed in and splashing. The shows weren't worth the time. The comedian just complained about his ex wife at both shows. The swimming with pigs was terrible. Expect to walk several miles to get to ...

Just got back from a terrible week abroad this ship . We went in a group of seven ranging from 2yrs to 60 to celebrate my husband’s 60 birthday . This was spoiled by all seven of us suffering from severer illness. This was due to the poor food quality and preparation. Staff lacked etiquette and serving training ( one staff member stabbed a roll with a fork to serve after trying to sever ...

Did Norwegian know where we going?

Review for a Africa Cruise on Norwegian Dawn

I was disappointed with this cruise. I think NCL had a chance to make it something special but chose not to. We had only sailed on Norwegian once before and had not particularly enjoyed it but the itinerary that NCL originally offered with stops in West Africa, Cape Verde and Morocco was so unusual and interesting that we decided to give Norwegian another go. The first disappointment was that ...

There is something definitely wrong on this ship. I got a stomach virus after 3 days of sailing and was put in isolation. After taking my medicine, I barely are for the subsequent 3 days. And, I got the bug, again. I traced my problem to a common denominator: Caesar Salad. The Captain ordered that crews must serve passengers in the buffet area. We aren't even allowed to get water by ourselves. ...

DISAPPOINTING SHIP AND CRUISE

This was our fifth cruise on Norwegian. As an aside, we have made reservations on other Norwegian cruises before, but we were notified of itinerary changes that made the cruise less desirable to us, before payment was due. Therefore we cancelled those reservations. This cruise was selected by my wife and I as a repeat of a January 2020 Southern and Eastern Caribbean (just before the Covid ...

I will start by saying the staff was nice. But... Our room smelled like sewage and arm pits. The food was disgusting every night. There were no activities. This ship is old and very out dated. We had a family of five. Our king bed was two twin beds unevenly put together. Our children beds were in the wall, it took over 2 hours for someone to come and assist with pulling them out. I have cruised ...

We took my parents for their birthday on the Norwegian Sun…they live in Florida and wanted to sail out of Miami or Ft Lauderdale. I had limited vacation time, and didn’t have many other options to book, so this cruise checked the boxes. We normally sail on Azamara or Celebrity, so we kept an open mind for NCL, knowing it might be a different product. We knew it would be an older ship, but as ...
