The Norweigian Epic: MOST uncomfortable and oddly configured balcony cabin ever.

The wonderful crew, fun excursions and for the most part good food could not make up for the most uncomfortable cabin I have ever experienced. I had been on this ship before but in an ADA cabin for someone with a motorized wheelchair. On this cruise I was in a regular balcony cabin. We had not gotten an ADA cabin but told Norwegian that we needed to be near the elevator because my cabin ...

First and foremost, kudos to the service staff on the ship. The spa and restaurants/food staff members are incredible group of individuals who are dedicated, professional, and passionate about what they do.Ropa and Jay at the spa are amazing! The unlimited thermal pass, 359, is worth every penny! Everyone at the restaurants, regular, and specialty, always goes above and beyond. we did surfside ...

Worst vacation of my life

We chose this cruise primarily for the itinerary. Through no fault of Norwegian's, there was a port workers strike in Athens, so we departed several hours late. This left the shore excursion desk scrambling to help people for the Istanbul, Mykonos, and Santorini excursions. We only had one Istanbul excursion through Norwegian, so this wasn't an issue for us. We also chose to see Mykonos and ...

Worst Cruise of my life.... Done with NCL

We chose this cruise because it was the newest Ship, the itinerary (ports of call), and the feed back we got from people that sailed on other NCL ships including the Prima. What a waste of money..... It was a premium price to be on this ship compared to any others during the time including other NCL ships doing an Eastern Mediterranean route. We could have booked a similar trip on Celebrity in ...

THE WORST...

It was our first cruise. They turned it into an expensive disaster. Our state room has a tag reading : "This room was cleaned and disinfected". We enter the room, my 7 years old daughter needs to use the toilet and then she calls me in. I find, dirt and hair from the previous customers and their excrement in the toilet bowl. Inside, the toilet was a nightmare. Now, mentioning the hairs and the ...

Worst Cruise Ever

We chose this cruise for the ports of call. To begin, they cancelled our overnight in Istanbul before departing. The time in the ports were cut short because the cruise excursions never left on time. There was always and hour or two hour delay to get off the ship due to the unorganized shore excursion personnel. It was a joke. So instead of adding time to our excursions we were just short ...

Poor NCL Customer Service-Missed Port & Shortened Port Stays.

I want to bring to your attention the disappointing experience my family and I encountered during our recent NCL Getaway cruise departing on July 12, 2023. Despite having high expectations based on the itinerary, our journey was marred by missed ports, shortened port stays, and subpar customer service. I feel compelled to share these grievances in order to shed light on NCL's ...

No service, no assistance, terrible experience

The worst cruise experience I (and several strangers on multiple ships) have ever had. Absolutely horrid cruise line which lost countless customers. There are several things that went wrong on my recent trip on Jade. Our bed was not made and we did not receive fresh towels when our room was open. Even at slow bars, we could not get service half the time. Bartenders did not know how to make ...

1.) Do NOT do their airfare package through them as a bundle deal. We called February 25th to set up flight deviations for arriving a day earlier than the cruise ship in Athens and leaving a day later in Venice. Our cruise ship set sail to leave on May 31st, so we had called before the “75 day” mark. On March 17th, our calls got disconnected so we tried again on March 18th to ask about vaccination ...

Destinations offered and time that fit with my husbands work schedule. We have usually sailed with Royal but it was not available for our schedule. We had no idea that a cruise could be so bad. The food was horrible. We started ordering based on what we thought would disappoint us the least. Left our steak on our plate the first three times then stopped ordering all beef. Everything was ...
