Norwegian Barcelona Cruise Reviews

Overall an enjoyable cruise with one of our favourite cruise lines. The food was very good and on a few occasions much better than expected. However the Prima not our favourite ship, by a long way. The layout is poor with small venues and tight walkways, they really have crammed everything into this ship. THE SHIP As stated we were not fans of the ship overall, the decor is stunning in most ...

For comparison, we were on the NCL Escape last year. Newer doesn’t mean better. This is the case of the NCL Prima. It feels like being on a moving upscale hotel on water. It’s not like being on a typical cruise ship that we used to. The general areas where the shops, the customer services are located are just “blah”, nothing fancy. There is no sparkling twirling staircase or fancy ceiling. ...

We will sail with NCL again. This was our 7th cruise (all with NCL) and we have number 8 booked. We had number eight booked on another Prima cruise before this cruise and I have canceled it and rebooked on a Breakaway plus class ship. I can't see us doing another cruise on a Prima class ship. The last five cruises we have gotten the two bedroom and have always enjoyed it. True the second ...

Worst experience on a ncl ship food not a good standard even the meals for payment only one place we eat was worth paying for and that was food endulge cracking food and service to go with it,Cagneys worst one we’ve been too I complained and they blamed European steak ? Had 2 meals both terrible the only good thing was French onion soup fantastic,we booked a haven suite hoping embarkation would be ...

Well first off, I'm not a complainer. I have enjoyed every cruise good and bad but feel I needed to write a review on this one. Our first mistake was letting them book our flight. Came from the US and flew on Luftansa. After flight delays, re-routes, #2 missed connections because of them, stress, rude people, (Frankfurt, Germany- THE WORST!!) we finally got to Barcelona Spain 9 hours late. ...

I am now platinum latitudes on NCL and this was our second and probably our last time sailing on the Epic. While the itinerary was good the ship is showing it's age. We always get a great size balcony quiet aft location. Bathroom needs to be remodeled. Had to ask for the in room coffee maker as they removed them. Best restaurants Moderno and le Bistro and the noodle bar. We usually order the ...

We decided to repeat on the Epic as our first experience last September was great and it went to places we hadn't been before, but this one was not so great. The embarking process was chaotic, infuriating, stressful and disheartening; we waited over an hour to leave our luggage, and another 40-45 min to get to the counter to get the keycards (we had done the online check-in but it didn't show in ...

I cruised many times before but first time with Norwegian and it was not good experience. Food: - Garden Cafe buffet was way below average and mostly asian cuisine. Only soup made for your request was delicious. - O' Sheehan's Bar& Grill had very limited choices of food the same below of average quality - Special dining in Le Bistro was satisfactory. Ginza was just ok. - Versailles ...

I chose this cruise because the were only 4 consecutive sea days. As soon as I booked it the itinerary change to 5 sea days. 3 days into the cruise it was changed to 6 consecutive days at sea. I understand things like weather come into play. You accept that when you book. You also expect that when you add days the cruise line would have some sort of activities to make up for the lost ports. This ...

Simply put, we chose this particular cruise line and itinerary because of the price. It was literally 1/2 the price of Royal Caribbean and about 1/3 less than other cruise lines, along with all of the perks (free premium beverage package, Internet minutes, etc.) and the smaller ship size. Overall, the cruise didn't live up to our expectations. We've cruised RC and Princess in the past with ...
