Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Norwegian Getaway

"We just completed a transatlantic trip on the Norwegian Getaway. A 12 day trip with intended stops in the Azores, Portland UK, Le Havre, Brugge and Southampton became a 10 day trip when the cruise company decided to cut it short. They changed ports dropping the French and Brussles area only to change again dropping the Azores and Portland.
Having done that and accepted the changes, they ...

Transatlantic crossing.
My husband and I have sailed many times on NCL (Platinum Members) and thought a transatlantic crossing would be different and exciting.
It sure was. Although seas were calm, it was cold and/or raining. No outdoor activities to be had so indoors 95% of the journey.
The ship was big and confusing, sectioned off, not flowing like most ships. Some areas were off limits ...

Around a week before our start date, NCL changed the itinerary by reducing the cruise from 12 to 10 nights and removing La Harve and Zeebrugge. A few days later it changed again adding La Harve and Zeebrugge again but removing the Azores and Portland. So before the cruise started we had to re-arrange travel and could only claims our expenses back after the start of the cruise.
Once onboard a ...

We chose this cruise because it had the itinerary we wanted. However before the cruise they shortened the cruise by 2 days..cut 2 major ports. We couldn’t get our money back so we took the cruise ..upon check in they notified us the the 2 ports had been added back and the other 2 removed.. the answer they gave was that the ship had to go to dry dock. One would think they would know that ahead of ...

I chose this cruise to spend 12 days on vacation. It was my second NCL transatlantic experience and I had a great time on the first. I expected four nice ports and lots of relaxing, fun days at sea. A week before we sailed we were informed that we were cut to ten days, with two marginal at best ports. After much noise we got two better ports back, but the chaos caused by the changes were not ...

We chose this cruise as we had never been overseas and decided to venture out of our traditional cruises/vacations. We had always wanted to go to Portugal and explore England.
As of today we still have not seen Portugal. Our itinerary was changed last minute so we didn't make a port call and our other two ports were changed so excursions that we had booked ahead now were cancelled. We had ...

Our cabin (standard balcony) was a great layout and very spacious. It was the best thing about the cruise.
The ship itself was really designed for a warm weather environment. Unfortunately, our cruise was in the northern latitudes (NY to Southampton) and, due to weather, most of the outside areas were closed. This lead to the ship feeling very crowded.
As far as I'm concerned, freestyle ...

We had booked this cruise two months before the date and were looking forward to the 12-day transatlantic itinerary with a more southerly route from NYC to Ponta Delgada, Azores. I had previously been on the Getaway on its inaugural season in the Caribbean out of Miami so was looking forward to being a returning guest.
One week before our departure, NCL decided to let the passengers know that ...

I booked a mini suite with a balcony for a handicap person. They put us in a crew room, no balcony, horrible smell, noise day and night, very humid and no balcony. My elderly mother almost died of food poisoning, I was charged $1169.32 for hospital bill, for spoiled food she ate, right at their restaurant. Nothing to do in this boat, Cruise director was terrible, not enough seating, not enough ...

This experience with Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) was so bad, I'd already filed a fraud claim with my state attorney general before I left.
Let's do this first, though. The cruise itself was good. The on-board staff were, for the most part, great. The Vibe Beach club remains the best deal and investment at sea, bar none. And the meals and entertainment were solid, even occasionally ...
