New York (Manhattan) to Cruise to Nowhere Reviews

We are a fairly new couple in our 60's who have taken 14 cruises between us, but we had never sailed together. Neither of us had been on NCL Breakaway before, and we decided to do the Breakway's December 11-13 Cruise to Nowhere both as a romantic mini-getaway and to check out Breakaway to see if we would like taking one the longer regular sailings on this ship out of NYC in the future. We got ...

We were on this ship for a cruise to nowhere with a group of friends. We took a similar cruise last year for Valentine’s Day with a large group on the NCL Jewel. We had such a good time on that trip we figured we would do it again this year. First impression was that the staff was friendly, the ship appeared clean. We immediately sat at O’Sheenhan’s Pub as the rooms were not ready. The bartenders ...

This was the CTN on Superbowl weekend. The Getaway was in the berth beside us, which may have hampered embarkation. In addition, NCL's phone and e-mail blitz advising to arrive early may have caused the deluge of people early on 1/31. Arriving around 10:30, we didn't board the ship until after 1:30. Places to get a bite to eat were swamped onboard. Cabin was very tight. Our bed was up against the ...

Was looking for a short getaway to relax and recharge but got aggravation instead. Lets start by the boarding process.....I have completed the required forms on line, and assumed that the check in will be a breeze.......big mistake. After arriving to pier at 12.30, registering, getting the cabin keys, instead of continuing straight onto the ship, like on every other cruise we have ever taken, we ...

Just off the 2 night weekend cruise on Breakaway. I am usually a RCCL cruiser, but wanted to give both NCL and a megaship a try. Embarkation was slow, and there was no luggage service for the cruise- travelling with kids and having to wheel luggage both on and off the ship was disappointing. Cabin seemed small for a balcony, but the ship was both beautiful and clean. Cirque show was fabulous, and ...

Wow, what a surprise this ship was. If it had launched 10 years ago, I would have been impressed. But I don't think it can compete with other ships today. Check-in was uneventful. At the entrance to the ship there were several staffers and loud music, the kind that tries to generate excitement. They were trying to get people to dance their way onto the ship. I know some people like that and it ...

Just returned from a "Cruise to Nowhere" on the Jewel. I went with my sister and my twenty something daughter. I have traveled on two other cruise lines. Since I have taken nine cruises I think I have enough previous experience to judge the quality of a cruise. This was my first time on NCL. We wanted to just try it before booking a cruise to somewhere. There are both positive and negative things ...

Our recent Cruise to Nowhere on the Carnival Miracle was a great disappointment. Our first cruise was 5 days to Canada on the Carnival Victory in '06, and we enjoyed the general cruise experience immensely. But it was our first and we had no point of reference until our next few cruises with NCL, where we discovered what a first class cruise experience should be. Still, that first Carnival ...

First let me start by saying that my husband and I, and the other couple we travelled with had a fantastic time. We were there to eat, drink and enjoy getting together with old friends, and we accomplished all of those things. However, the cruise itself needs a lot of work. Some background information about us as travelers. The four of us are between 26-29 years old. And both couples ...

My wife and kids booked the cruise as a birthday present for me.The kids,both under 10,were really looking forward to using their own money to purchase the birthday room decoration package as a present to me. Only they don't do it for the one day cruise. Nothing in the web site about that. The trip was booked at the last minute,so all that was left was a minisuite.Very nice cabin, plenty of room ...
