New York (Manhattan) to the USA Cruise Reviews

First I want to acknowledge there were aspects of this trip that were out of NCLs control- very rough seas, day late to Bermuda, incoming cruise was delayed. That’s where it stops. This cruise was RAMMED. An absolute mess. I do not understand how this boat is allowed to have this capacity. The first day was miserable, hours waiting for the rooms to be ready, my luggage was lost, the bed was ...

I was traveling with my wife and two boys, 10 and 12. We picked this cruise for the itinerary and the water slides. The waterslides are not good. My boys would get stuck towards the end. After riding a couple of times, they were done. There were two VERY small pools and 2 hot tubs. Keep in mind, this ship can hold 4k cruisers and 1300 crew. So, the pools were ridiculously overcrowded. ...

Its been 10 years since my last cruise and that was with carnival. We booked a getaway for 3 couples. this was 2 of the couples first cruise ever. we were hoping for a great time, well with that being said. It was not a great or good time. First, i had to get my own luggage out of the hallway. This was 3 hours after being on the boat. wanted to freshen up for the evening after traveling to ...

We chose this cruise because, having reviewed all options it seemed the best fit. We were a group of 9, ages ranging from 1 to 75. The checking was chaos and our group got separated, even though we kept telling them we were all together. We had a wheelchair and a pushchair. We eventually found each other hours later. Our cabins were released reasonably early but our cases arrived many hours ...

Ten years ago, we went on Carnival Pride and I swore never again. We said, let's give them another try. Our stateroom attendant was excellent. Our first two mdr waiters were awful No personality, food served warm, once they never asked if we wanted drinks, one of the tables had a great View of the station where they scraped the finished plates... We finally found a table where ...

Cruise assessment: Ship feels cramped, lots of staterooms, poorly laid out for social settings. No quiet areas except in state room. Smoking in open casino at atrium flowed smoke through whole ship Smoking glassed area wasn’t sealed - pool area was smoky Pools: 3 listed on ship description… One was useable, one was the kiddy paddle pool/slide area The third was private for ...

Experience on Norwegian Getaway Feb. 6 to 16, 2024 Pros: the bar staff in the Atrium were fantastic. The service was amazing snd the kept us laughing every time. The guests for the most part were very pleasant. CONS: Adult only Hot Tubs were filled with kids the whole cruise. The food at the buffet tasted like refried leftovers from the main dining room either cold or hard and dry. In ...

This was our first NCL cruise. We (wife and I) have cruised on three other lines before and are trying different lines to find the one that best suits our tastes in order to develop loyalty. We booked a last minute inside cabin. We opted not to seek an upgrade since we really liked the location of our cabin (mid ship with cabins above and below). We also declined the free at sea options since ...

I got sick about a week into my ten day trip. I called the medical clinic to report that I had a cough and fever and exhaustion. The person who answered told me that they didn’t need to know that, but I could come down for medical care if I wanted. Surprising, given how concerned other cruise lines are when someone is sick. Anyway, I didn’t want medical care—I just wanted to lie in bed and die. ...

This ship always seemed very crowded. The embarkation was very disorganized.Since we sailed out of NYC it was Cold and then cool for several days. The indoor space is very lined with indoor seating extremely limited. This is compounded by the open Casino that billows smoke smell into multiple other areas. The general impression of the crew was harried to unhappy, as it seemed the crew was very ...
