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 this cruise because of the itinerary, sailing dates, and to use a 20% discount certificate that was issued by NCL due to canceling the Epic's winter Mediterranean sailings. The terms were rather restrictive and this sailing qualified. We booked about 3 months ahead, so we were within the final payment date and could only use one CruiseNext certificate. NCL would not budge on this, despite ...
Hi. I just got off the Prima in September 2023. Now after my trip, I would like to contribute back. Be warned, this is a long and detailed post about the - NCL Prima 10-DAY NORTHERN EUROPE FROM REYKJAVIK TO LONDON. Scroll to the bottom if you only want a summary or to-bring list
Flight from LAX to KEF (Reykjavik Airport). There was no direct flight and so I transferred in Chicago (ORD). The ...
Chose this cruise because of the itinerary. Booked 25 months prior to sailing. Went with another couple.
Chose to include NCL air, which was a savings. Tried to tell them we need a long layover between our home airport and the international flight due to weather issues causing air delays in northeast. NCL said no special requests. At departure day, a delay due to weather would cause ...
For perspective, this was my first time cruising on Norwegian, and I have cruised previously on Celebrity, Princess, Royal Caribbean and Carnival. My husband and I found a fantastic last minute deal on the Norwegian Star for a Norway/Iceland cruise during Aug./Sept. 2023. Given the low price we paid, and given my incoming lower image of Norwegian, I was very pleasantly surprised overall at the ...
We were a family of 4 (husband and I in a midship club balcony suite and my 86-year-old mother-in-law and young sister-in-law a little further along the corridor in adjoining forward club balconies). We had three nights in Tromso pre cruise at the Clarion Collection With hotel – we have stayed here before for four nights in early 2020 in a quest to see the Northern lights and it is warm and ...
We live in Arizona and it's HOT in August! We wanted to travel somewhere where the weather was cool and the terrain was different from where we live.
We were not disappointed! We were personally met at check-in and escorted up to our suite on the 12th deck. We were able to be in our room by 1:00 though our luggage arrived around 5:00. We have never stayed in a room that included butler and ...
We chose this cruise for the price and the ports. Our cruise included a good drink package and $50 off of each excursion for one of us as well as two specialty dinners. The staff was very friendly and efficient. We did not like having to pass through the smoky casino to get to restaurants, and that the smoke infiltrated the atrium areas. Time for a new air exchange system or don't the smokers ...
We have been cruising with NCL for almost 20 years. This will be out last cruise with NCL. A lot has changed (and not for the best) while cruising with them over the years. Although we are "Sapphire Level", even those "perks" have been changed and are minimal. As far as the food, room, service and entertainment - all were subpar. THE FOOD: We ate at all of the restaurants and buffet. ...
Given the reviews here was expecting the worst, but overall it was actually quite ok. Given the amazing ports and more than reasonable price, I am pretty satisfied in the end.
Itinerary: Reykjavík to Tromso via Svalbard. 3 days at sea which was a good break between all the excursions. 3 of the ports were tendered - but only the very first one was somewhat chaotic. The only issue was that they ...
