I have traveled with Norwegian Cruises over several years the took 2 in 2019. COVID hit and did not book until this year. That being said, I was disappointed in the changes made on the Cruise to Bermuda. Many of the details that made Norwegian special had disappeared. No turning down of the bed at night, no creating of animals with the towels, only 3 rolls with dinner for a table with 4 people ...
My husband booked this cruise for our 10-year wedding anniversary. We have cruised with 2 other cruise lines and had great expectations from NCL only to be disappointed. If you are Black /African American, this is not the cruise line for you. The entertainment does not include very much for the black race especially during the day. The 80"s theme party that is in the disco plays no music from ...
We chose Norwegian Pearl because we could park and leave from Boston. That being said getting on to cruise was easy, gate staff was wonderful and helpful. The ship looked pretty , the bartenders were short staffed which caused for very very long wait times for cocktails, the selection of activities on ship left a lot to be desired. The repetition of acts became very boring.
The food was ok , we ...
One of the destinations on my bucket list was Iceland. The package offered, including airfare was enticing. Even though NCL supposedly arranged the tickets in June 2022, I couldn't get definite details until the cruise was paid in full. They booked Jet Blue for the outgoing flight and Icelandair /Jet Blue for the return. I'll get into more details about that fiasco later.
Once at the port ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary. The ship is beautiful but there isn’t a good flow on the ship. We are long time cruisers of NCL (sapphire level). I would have to rate this as the worse cruise with NCL. Dining in main restaurants as well as specialty dining did not meet our expectations. Shows were all but non existing and entertainment throughout the ship was below par. This was eleven ...
This cruise was put together by a friend in celebration of her husband's life (he passed last year). I have never been so disappointed in a ship/cruise as I was this time. And we have cruised over 10 times on various lines. The major problem was that our hot water kept going off so cold showers were the only option until the plumber got there - 3 TIMES! Then the toilet in our cabin started to ...
I chose this cruise because I didn’t want to fly to do a cruise with a 2 year old. They had a “gupppy room” which is 10x 7ft closet with dirty playmats (ABC ones). They had like 20 plastic balls and one plastic horse. It was very hard to find and is next to a High Voltage closet. It was an absolute joke! Also on the ferry to st George that NCL provides, they would not allow those with strollers to ...
Onboarding/check in: was a breeze – no major lines when checking in late afternoon and checking into the safety/muster stations were quick and easy
Room: showers were nice with the glass coverage rather than the plastic curtains. Television was older and had limited options – same movies and sitcoms replayed. Live news channels would often be stuck/no reception. I know some people don’t go on ...
Ncl’s dawn is a logistical nightmare with basic cruise processes. The one tendering port process ran an average of 2 hours late and we were unable to go into dublin after our tour as a result of ncl’s incompetence. Ncl knows how many passengers fit into a tender, how many guests are onboard, how many guests are on ncl tours, and what time they are scheduled to depart. Using only 3 tenders that ...
We chose this ship because of the ports and the fact that we have sailed on the Norwegian Jewel many times and it was absolutely wonderful. We assumed that this would be of the same quality. We are so wrong.
We were told by the embarkation agent that our priority boarding was not available and we had to get into the long slow line to get on. So much for Platinum Level of loyalty. After more ...
