Review for a U.S.A. Cruise on Insignia

This was our fifth cruise with Oceania, second on Insignia. We knew what to expect: good food and excellent service from friendly, enthusiastic and happy crew. We were again not impressed with the entertainment, Oceania's weakest point. The production cast, six young singers/dancers are high school level. There was only one guest entertainer who was really good, Jeri Sager, a broadway singer ...

Excellent time on board but 80% of ports screwed up: Azures missed due to bad weather; Brest docked but 1-3 hours to leave ship, same to get back on, with shuttles only running for 4 1/2 hours; Southampton people only started to be able to leave at 2:00 pm, many not until 5:00 pm or later; Zeebrugge missed due to engine problems; Rotterdam worked well. Gave us $100 dollars compensation each ...

You can read through the other transatlatic reviews for a detailed recap of what happened - the quick summary is that we missed 2 ports (one due to weather, one due to a mechanical problem), and had some issues with lines and customs clearances getting on and off the ship. Yes, it created some issues, and yes it called for revising itineraries and plans ashore, but that's just how it goes - ...

There were issues on this cruise due to weather and equipment failure. Brest France was a joke. NCl had never been there before and will not go back. The "Gang Plank" that so many people conplained about belongs to the port, not NCL. Apparnetly that is the type of gangway used on merchant ships that the port is used to dealing with. There were 2 gangways at first but the port authority saw fit ...

This is my 3rd cruise with NCL and my first on a “Mega Ship”, also my first Transatlantic. My best friend and I planned this trip for nearly a year. We flew to Miami on April 29th and stayed at Best Western Premier International Hotel and Suites. The hotel shuttle picked us up at the airport and then for a $30.00 each fee delivered us to the port the next day. The hotel was not in a great area ...

Big Ship with little rooms

This was our first time on a "Big ship" so we reserved at first when we were considering this cruise but we pick the location not the ship when booking. With that said we read how big ships are like small cities making it difficult to get from one location to another which we were delighted to find was not at all the case. However, this ships seemed to take the design of a small ship, cut all the ...

My favorite cruises are the Trans-Atlantic repositioning trips. This one looked like a great itinery and that's why we took it. I'm not particularlly fond of the BIG ships, but we thought we'd give the Getaway a try. Ocean crossing was great - some sun & some clouds and mostly smooth sailing. Our first stop in Ponta DelGada was cancelled because of strong winds. Captain said it was too ...

We had a group of friends on this cruise (14) of us. Everyone thought that the food and entertainment was fantastic. Everyone thought that the staff did a very poor job when disembarking at Brest France.Some people who had tours missed the tour and others waited in excess of three hours just to get off the ship. We all had balcony cabins with adequate space (exception being cabinet space for ...

I took the Transatlantic on Norwegian Getaway from Miami to Copenhagen at the end of April this year. Embarkation was very quick, from getting off the transfer coach to being on board: 20 minutes, I was on board by 12h30. Cabins were not ready until 13h30, but all other facilities were operational. The ship is huge. Nice décor, great facilities, even though the outside decks seemed a bit ...

One does not notice how crowded some of the largest ships in the NCL fleet, like the Getaway, can become until you find yourself in a transatlantic cruise Miami to Copenhagen (April-May) and the expected port stops don’t happen either because of the weather or technical issues with the ship propulsion system. While the first reason is understandable the latter, NCL US Guest Relations proclaims ...
