Miami to the Mexican Riviera Cruise Reviews

The positives of this cruise, the itinerary, the musicals, good shower space, and decent food. The negatives: 1. Is a mega-ship with a poor design unable to accommodate all their passengers without feeling constantly overcrowded and always struggling to find a space to eat or relax. For example more than once passengers were faced with lack of tables at the buffet restaurant, and were ...

I would recommend this ship for primarily adults. Not enough activities for children. However the service was excellent. This ship isn't that big, but it is comfortable. The fitness room had updated equipment for those who like to work out, while on vacation. They didn't have updated weights, but they did have cable machines. They had most of the common used machines you would find in the gym. ...

NCL 2 for 1 FLIGHTS: They booked us from PHX-MIA on American Airlines, our go-to airline, where we received a "Complementary" upgrade to 1st Class. Our 2nd trip in a row to have that happen. We flew home on SouthWorst – all flights delayed, baggage arrived on 2 different flights. NCL SHUTTLE FROM MIA-PORT: Our flight arrived VERY early so we had time to eat breakfast before we caught the ...

Just to give this review some context, I was traveling solo, am 70 years old, and this was my second Norwegian cruise. I took this cruise primarily for three ports: Acajutla (El Salvador), Puerto Quetzal (Guatemala) and San Juan del Sur (Nicaragua). I'd already been through the Panama Canal, so that was of less interest to me. First, there were things to like about this cruise. The ship ...

Very disappointed with NCL on our latest cruise. The ship was dated, should have done our homework on this ship first, yes our fault but not only that the ship broke down in Colombia, no electric which meant no air con, extremely hot in Columbia! We had to stay in port overnight but 2 full days there! Was allowed off the Ship but nowhere to go, no shuttle buses were put on, Columbia a bit of a ...

To be clear, this was my first cruise, so I don't have anything to compare it to, or any sense of what is typical on a cruise ship. The Sun is an older ship and could really benefit from some updating and repairs. Many people that I spoke with had mechanical problems in their cabins, though most were promptly fixed by the crew. I had an issue with the thermostat in my cabin. It didn't work, so ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary and the 3.7 reviews. Someone must have gotten paid to give them a decent rating. Perhaps the specialty dining would have been worth eating but we actually lost weight on a 20 day cruise because I refuse to pay extra for food that should be part of the cruise The tea was tea flavored beverage. The orange juice was Orange juice cocktail. Grilled fish....what ...

The NCL Encore is truly a beautiful ship in so many ways. My sister and I decided to sign up for the 15 day Panama Canal cruise from Miami to Los Angeles, and we opted for a spa balcony stateroom on deck 15 aft. The room was comfortable and efficient. We enjoyed the upgraded soaps and lotions provided as part of the spa room, as well as daily included access to the spa thermal suite on deck 16. ...

This has been the only cruise line we have been on this being our fourth cruise. As with all cruise lines post-pandemic, They are cutting a few corners to increase their bottom line. less entertainment and reducing hours and variety at their buffet. That was all that I noticed. I believe every cruise line is doing that. The Panama Canal was a little boring. You are just slowly going through the ...

My brother and I chose this cruise for the panama canal itinerary. Originally the itinerary had Costa Rica and Nicaragua as stops but those got replaced with Acapulco, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. I understand and appreciate that sometimes ports have to be dropped due to safety or other issues. However, adding Acapulco, as an alternative, seemed dangerous to me, as it is currently on level 4 “do ...
