We chose this cruise to get away from our cold weather and see a part of the world we've never been to.
The negative reviews (and we heard plenty on board also) are just so sad to hear.
I only ate at the buffet twice, but my husband had breakfast there often and was pleased.
The food was lovely in Taste, Savor, and the Tropicana. Sure it gets chaotic and you have to wait when you have ...
I just got back from my 10 day cruise aboard the NCL Getaway, sailing from New York City to Puerto Plata, San Juan, St. Thomas and Tortola from February 6-10 2024. The ship was beautiful and had incredible dining, great bars, fantastic entertainment and a best-in-it’s-class staff! I’m seeing some negative reviews out there, but I really don’t understand how those people could possibly see anything ...
We won a cruise for two through the casino, and it was wonderful. You had the typical elderly farts acting all doom and gloom, and the five dollar millionaires acting as though they have class, but after navigating through that, we made the best out of it.
I highly recommend NCL and Getaway. The spa was great, the food was excellent. The specialty restaurants were fine, but the ...
Chose this cruise to get away for a bit and go someplace warm. This cruise is sandwiched in between an iceland cruise already sailed and an alaskan cruise for next year. Also wanted to see Bermuda as I have not been there. Even though our itinerary was reversed and we ended up missing the stop in Bermuda because of weather the overall experience was above average. The shows, live music, and food ...
Despite my reservations from reading the reviews, I really like the ship though there are some annoying things….especially for the visually impaired: the clues and sounds are too subtle..like identifying which elevator has arrived. For short folks the closet hanging rods are too high to reach & in the cafe the top shelf of displayed items like muffins is so high you can’t see what’s on ...
We’ve just finished a fantastic 11 night transatlantic cruise from Barcelona to New York on the excellent NCL Prima.
This is my first review on here, which I felt compelled to write after being concerned about the negative reviews I’d read before boarding. If you are booked on a future cruise on the Prima, please be reassured that it’s a great ship with a friendly helpful crew.
This was our ...
We chose this cruise because it went to ports we hadn't been to. The weather wasn't great, lots of rain on a few port days. But the amenities on the ship more than compensated for the weather. The ship is beautiful and we found it easy to get around. Our favorite hangout spot was the Observation Lounge. It featured comfortable seating where we spent time reading, relaxing and watching panoramic ...
This was our first ever cruise. We were looking for something out of NY or NJ and a short 5 day cruise, just in case we did not like it. I’m not really sure how, but we wound up choosing NCL and at the time of booking, based on prices, due to number of people (5), we chose to go the Haven route. Figured we would go all out as it might be the last time we could all go together. Trying to keep a ...
My husband (39), son (7), and I (42) cruised on the Joy from Manhattan to Bermuda in mid-August 2023. We stayed in a Haven Courtyard Suite. Overall, we had a lovely cruise. We met some families and thoroughly enjoyed hanging out. That said, we could see some of the complaints others have about the ship and found one we hadn't yet read about. For reference, this was my husband's third cruise ...
We chose this cruise because wanted to go back to Bermuda. Since the ship docks in Bermuda for three days, it’s like your own floating hotel. Bermuda is relatively safe, so you can come and go as you please on and off the ship. Bermuda has a good bus system and taxi service.
NCL seems like they are trying to make up for lost revenue that occurred during COVID. But, all businesses seem to be ...
