Classic NCL--not a bad thing, at all
"The Fitness Center was crowded on the first few days of the cruise, but, when people got deep into the drink packages, attendance rapidly fell off.Get a stogie (pro tip: bring your own onto the ship, as those in the room are massively overpriced) & just listen to the banter...."Read More

Good Trip; Weather issue

We love NCL; this was our fourth cruise with them. Started with a weather issue and Bermuda drop as a port; we did not find this out until we were in the check-in line. Not a problem, no one can control the weather! With this change, our itinerary was reversed from the original plan. NCL service is great and one of the reasons we love it; helpful staff, nice and clean public areas, pool, ...

We had never cruised with NCL before and heard lots of great things about this cruise line from friends. This however was not the cruise to have people rave about NCL. We will start with the end first. The ship was delayed getting back into port by 5 hours. The disembarkation was a complete mess, with lines and almost no staff to be seen. People were not following assigned times which created ...

First I would like to say that I was extremely happy with the studio and am looking forward to my next sailing on Prima 10/6/24. Unfortunately I was extremely unhappy with a number of things on the Getaway. The majority of the meals in the main dining rooms were inedible. Either the meat was too tough to cut or the food was undercooked. I have been cruising for 40 yrs on various cruise lines and ...

After 16 cruises I was rather shocked that such a form of cruising/ship still exists. The ratio staff to passengers is poor, even worse the ratio cabins to public rooms. On sea days you could sit nowhere and you had to retreat to your cabin. The fight for tables in the main buffet restaurant was usually challenging and the quality of food was 2 or 3 stars max. There was not one food display you ...

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 ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

This was our first ever cruise. We have traveled many times to resorts in Mexico, Cuba, DR and can only compare those experiences to the cruise. Chose to do a cruise for a new experience and to see countries we have not traveled to. We were a family of 3 - 2 adults and 1 teenager. I watched countless cruise review videos ahead of our trip and felt I was very well prepared. I am now ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

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 ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

We chose this cruise to get away from our cold weather and see a part of the world we've never been to. The negative reviews (and we heard plenty on board also) are just so sad to hear. I only ate at the buffet twice, but my husband had breakfast there often and was pleased. The food was lovely in Taste, Savor, and the Tropicana. Sure it gets chaotic and you have to wait when you have ...

First of all, our family room veranda and balcony were very small and impractical. The food menu contained no variety and the food itself was below mediocre. The swimming pool for the entire ship was only one very small, uncovered pool for all of the passengers aboard. It was unusable for at least 5 days because of cool/cold temperatures. The public bathroom nearest to the pool was out of order, ...

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 ...
