Onboard Prima now and with 2 days to go we thought we'd post a review. There are so many positives for this review but i will try and keep it short and sweet.
We have enjoyed the itinerary although we missed Belfast due to the weather. We have seen the Northern Lights, dolphins and whales from the ship so have been very lucky.
The ship is beautiful and the layout is fantastic, the service ...
Cruising to Iceland and Norway
This ship is mighty unstable in moderatly rough seas and i mean 3ft swells we were on deck 9 forward and massive booming noises were generated by the unconventional bow configuration meant we did not sleep for the first 5 nights due to the noise and the captain had to present himself on the atrium to answer why the ship was so unstable no answer he gave made me ...
We booked a Suite SJ Category with a upgraded package for Drinks, Wifi, etc. From Day 1 there was a constant noise in the cabin and NCL refused to do anything. After repeated complaints they gave us a voucher for future travel which doesn't mean anything.
The Wifi was of poor quality.
Then the stop to Belfast was cancelled.
All the Port tours in Iceland and Norway were delayed.
The ...
Chosen for 16 day Northern Europe itinerary. 3 days of excursions were cancelled due to weather. Ship arrived late at two additional ports. On board activities were crowded, people had to sit on deck for many activities. Restaurant lines were so long they blocked elevator access. Onboard entertainment required reservations for many shows and passengers who attempted to book these on board found ...
This was my third NCL cruise and I pretty much knew what I thought I was getting into- but the itinerary was so good as well as the price that ten of us signed up.
First the problems with the ship, The Getaway, it seemed nice at first and our inside cabin was better than expected. Within the first day of a sixteen day cruise you realize the ship has major shortcomings. There is absolutely no ...
We chose this cruise because the itinerary was quite varied and promised a good overall experience in Europe, including 2 days in Iceland. We had also heard that NCL was a good cruise line.
Before the cruise: Spent several hours trying to book dining, shows and prepaying for services that we wished to have. Was able to book regular dining for some of the days aboard, including 4 specialty ...
As you can see from other reviews, the organization and communication was very rough. I don’t know why. The lines to get on and off the ship and the waiting times were very long. Most staff seemed either unable or unwilling to control the crowds and the lines.
It often felt like neither the crew nor the passengers knew what was going on. For example, the captain cancelled Dublin due to ...
Horrible ! Horrible! The intinerary was amazing and the only saving grace for this cruise. The ship was horrible. Unorganized. Poor customer service. Food OK. Most stressful cruise I have ever taken. Stood in que for 1 hour in windy and cold weather before getting on a tender. Could find no NCL staff to talk to. When we noticed them, they were away from crowd gathered together. Noisy ...
NCL GETAWAY 9/15-10/1
16 DAY WESTERN EUROPEAN CRUISE
THE GOOD:
The food was uniformly good. Whether in the main dining room, the buffet or the specialty dining rooms I had no complaint. Plentiful servings promptly served.
Entertainment was top notch. The dancers in "BURN THE FLOOR" were as energetic as one could imagine. The "MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET" was superb. All 4 of the ...
We chose NCL as we'd been on a few cruises before with other companies and have enjoyed them all. We mistakenly thought NCL would be similar.
I would never, under any circumstances travel with this ridiculous company again and would strongly recommend others to avoid them.
The ship is very nice, the staff are mostly approachable with a couple of very notable exceptions the interiors are ...
