Totally disappointed

I wish I would’ve googled this ship before we booked, but I guess I gotta learn somehow. This was our first cruise with Norwegian and everyone was ranting and raving about how great everything is. The only thing they had going for them was embarkment and disembarking, that was super easy as long as you know what you are doing. Our room had a hull balcony, which is fine because I knew what those ...

This was our 4th Norweigan ship and cruise. Out of 20 cruises sailed this was the worst ship we have ever been on. The venues for the shows were small, the layout of the ship was noisy, and the food was cold or overdone, more often than not. The entertainment was repeated and not that great of quality. A large casino , but prices of buyins were high so tables sat empty a lot. Speciality ...

My wife, a friend, and I just completed the 12 day Mediterranean Cruise on the Norwegian Epic which left out of Rome on November 8. My wife and I have been on NCL a couple of times in the past and had a great experience - wish I could say the same for this trip. The Epic can hold over 4500 passengers; but, there are only 2900 on board (just over 1/2 capacity). Below is a list of issues ...

We first sailed on the Epic in 2016 and had a great time. The entertainment in particular was brilliant and the staff were great so we looked forward to returning for a 12 night European cruise this year. The deterioration was obvious from the minute we got on to the ship, no welcome from a crew member and glass of fizz. The entertainment, which had been so good before, was the biggest ...

Good Crew, Substandard Ship, Very Poor Management

Just completed 11 day European cruise (Spain, Italy, France) on NCL Epic, with three overnight stays- Barcelona, Rome, Livorno. The itinerary was good and the overnight stays were great. However, NCL is a very substandard cruise line and the Epic is also a substandard ship compared with any other we have been on. We have done a dozen cruises on Holland America, Princess and Royal Carribean. ...

I just returned from a 12 day med cruise on the Norwegian Epic and sadly it looks it age. It’s definitely in need of a fresh look and update. Most disappointing of all is the odd bathroom design of separate sink/shower/toilet adjacent to the front cabin door with zero privacy. The food on board is ok, buttress in some of the specialty restaurants. The main dining room service was uneven and the ...

Cheap for a reason

When booking our honeymoon we thought that the price of NCL outweighed the benefits of another more expensive cruise. In hindsight, they are cheap for a reason. The cruise started rough because of some storms which left people waiting in lines for up to 10 hours before boarding the ship. We were lucky and only waited 4 hours after our original check in time. Once on the ship we found out our ...

Disappointment mostly but really didn't want to be.

We selected this cruise for the itinerary and sailing date. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and we are a very active early 60 year old couple. I upgraded to an upper class balcony cabin, it's located just ahead of the rear stairwell. I mention this because in this ship that's the worst location we could have gotten. The main issue is the constant vibration while the ship is under ...

We booked this cruise for my husbands 50th Birthday. Even though we had the unlimited beverage package we noticed there we were charges in my card everytime we ordered a drink. According to guest services it was a 10% European tax fee that every guest had to pay and it was not notified. After that, due to the amount of people complaining they put signs in every bar announcing the charge. They ...
