Norwegian Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

Booked a European cruise that sailed out of Southhampton in October. First the good. The meals were good. The Garden Cafe buffet was actually good with a variety and selection that pleased multiple tastes. We also enjoyed the the food at Cagney's and Moderno. They make good food for specialty diners. The crew were very friendly and attentive to doing great service in housekeeping, food, ...

Norwegian Getaway is a ship that is totally centred on it's mainly USA clientele. We weren't expecting that - for a no-fly cruise from/to Southampton encompassing mainly Northern Europe. There were no concessions to it's UK passengers in terms of catering (no British back bacon - just the dreadful American stuff. No HP sauce, no Marmite, no skimmed milk) Minor niggles I accept - but without ...

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 did not choose our 29th cruise because of the itinerary, but because we wanted to sail with the new NCL ship "Norwegian Prima". Boarding went smoothly without any waiting. First impressions were very good: modern looks, the corridors to the staterooms have a great "hotel feeling" and are very beautifully designed. The stateroom (balcony room) was the most spacious we ever had. Beautiful ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

We completed a northern cruise with two other couples in late September on the NCL Getaway visiting western Europe, Scotland and Iceland. This was our 5th and last NCL cruise The NCL Getaway had too many passengers and not enough staff. The ship had long lineups for leaving the ship especially when Tendering. Most queues getting off the ship were close to an hour long. I spent 45 mins in one ...

First the one pro is the Staff and Customer Service employees were great, alway helpful and freindly. Actually felt sorry for staff as there were so many comlaints by passengers on this cruise. We cruise 3-4 times a year with usually have wonderful things to report not this time. Everything you do on NCL you either have to pay for, or make a reservation for so always missed out on something. The ...

This ships is the pits, if this is a new concept for NCL, then they have got it drastically WRONG. The cabins, food and beverages where fine, but the service in the restaurants and bars left a LOT to be desired. A lack of staff and poor IT systems just lead to frustration and delay, wrong orders, etc. Far to much commercial space such as shopping, casino, pay per use dining, VR studio, go cart ...
