We picked this thinking it would be a good adventure. NYC cruise port,problem long lines waiting, hard on elderly, when a women asked for a seat,quote you can sit on the floor. Staff delivered food , drinks,none for passengers. Shame Ncl cruise good food variety, nice theater shows very professional. Clean ship pleasant staff. Downside lines at every venue. No seats on deck,or towel taken. Try ...

I cruised with my husband; this was our 9th cruise with NCL and our 16th overall. We like leaving from NYC because we live in NJ and prefer not having to fly to disembarkation port. We chose this cruise because we haven’t been to the southern Caribbean and we were especially interested in a Panama Canal visit. Getting onto the ship from the Manhattan Cruise Port was delayed due to “Coast ...

14-n-cruise from New-York to New Orleans. Loved the itinerary and the value for money. Got a big deal including drink package, 3 specialty restaurants, 300 minutes internet and gratuities. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was tasty, but unspectacular. Would I sail NCL again? No!!! In many aspects we had the impression that the ship was not ableto handle the number of guests it was ...

The comment from a dining room supervisor on our last morning sums up how Norwegian see their customers. “We need you to move on so we can get ready for the next batch of people”. It wasn’t even 9am and we hadn’t finished breakfast. We have previously sailed with Norwegian on two smaller ships (Spirit and Pearl) and thoroughly enjoyed it. After sailing on the Epic and now the Breakaway we will ...

If you are thinking of booking a cruise with NCL then just don’t, at least not before reading about the very poor recent cruise experienced and confirmed by speaking to over 100 people during the cruise This issues started about 4 weeks before departure. A quick email from the travel company, Cruise Nation in this case, ( who equally gave a very poor experience in so many ways), to say there ...

Having been on two previous cruises with NCL, which were lovely, we booked this cruise because of the ports which were shown on the itinerary. NCL left it very late, in fact too late to cancel without forfeiting 50% of our money, before telling us that there was a maintenance problem with the ship and that we had to travel at a slower speed. This resulted in the very two ports we wished to visit, ...

We chose this cruise because it was one the first 14 day cruises available post CDC clearance and because of NCL's policy of 100% vaccinations for passengers and crew. We've had four cancellations in the past two years and were anxious to get back on the water. Several topics to note: 1. The Covid testing procedures at the terminal were an inconvenience but pretty efficient and well worth ...

Excellent large ship, although I find the smaller ships to be much more enjoyable because they seem so much less crowded. Experience was typical of my expectations for NCL. Ship's officers and crew were very welcoming, which notably helped enhance the experience. Particularly noteworthy service was received from Vanessa O (bar waitress), Wayan R (Waiter), Minellie P (bar waitress), and I Kadek ...
