Returned from the 3rd - 12th Baltic trip on Prima. The few good things on this trip/ship. It is a nice ship some nice designs. The staterooms are very nice and their bathroom great. Some the main dining room, Hudson and Commodore nice décor. The other specialty dining areas probably were nice but not worth the $$ to attend. The food would have been cold there too!. Someone lack imagination in the ...
Took this NCL Prima cruise so we could visit a couple of countries we have never been to before, Negative bits first, the ship really is awful, outside looks like some wishy washy 90's retirement complex in Florida, inside is a mix of Holiday inn on a German industrial estate with again a 90's Arndale shopping mall feel to most of the public areas, there's not a piece of real timber or ...
We chose this cruise due to the variety of the intinerary. We had never sailed on Norwegian, but have had good experiences with lines as diverse as Carnival and Silversea. The embarkation point in Amsterdam was conveniently located to the City. The embarkation process itself was painfully long, chaotic and barely sanitary. The cabins were fine. A bit dated. No USB charging stations and the ...
We were so excited to go on this cruise! We went on board and had a great onboard experience.
That night we went to the show and it was blah... we both agreed it was because we are spoiled in San francisco with off broadway shows.
At the show- that was the first and ONLY time we saw the cruise director Pedro. He was MIA for two weeks- we “heard his voice through the ceiling” for ...
Cruise: 13-day Italy France & Spain: The Rivieras
We planned an extended family vacation. Decided to upgrade t3 mini suites and looked forward to a great and once in a lifetime cruise. The ship itself is the perfect size ship in my opinion, feels big, but small enough to nollt have a ton of overwhelming people.
Background:
- Frequent cruise family: Many cruises on NCL, Princess, ...
We choose this ship due to the itinerary which was one of the few things we ended up happy with. We booked initially in Dec. Two weeks after final payment the price on our trip dropped by more than 60%. I was offered a $250 on board credit as a consolation to the almost $7000 drop. Not ever cruising NCL prior I was baffled. I have never seen a cruise line struggle to fill cabins to the extent they ...
Where to begin...ship is old. Despite upgrade a couple of years ago, still old. Food...generally bad. Cagneys, Le Bistro and Asian were ok. Modenos was well terrible. Buffet was hit or miss. Casino was a casino but if your a player management were cold. Service was generally good. Staff were as friendly as they could be. No point in getting a Haven Suite. Regular Suites got the same thing. They ...
We went on this cruise for the variety and number of ports. We're trying to see 100 countries before we get to be 100, up to sixty three (63) so far! entertainment was very good. Some shore excursions were excellent, some not so. we always look for a quiet place to relax and read, while the library is nice it's usually crowded and so we used the spinnaker lounge until the activities crew came ...
We chose this cruise because of the wonderful array of Baltic sea ports and excursions. While the stops exceeded expectations in almost every case, the shabby condition of the ship and the indifferent food and service left us with a negative feeling.
Food service - even in the specialty restaurants - was always rushed. We repeatedly had to ask that service be slowed down and that not all items ...
I have never travelled NCL and it was a great destination and very cheap last minute price. But for the poor management, disorganization, virus outbreak and lack of basic safety measures and most of all the lack of honest report of embarkation condition and time it will take and port and shuttle condition upfront. It makes us lost our preplanned land tours and wait in line for hours for cargo port ...
