Having read so many reviews prior to our cruise I was honestly not looking forward to going at all but am so glad we did. The ship is older and smaller, the cabins are smaller but none of that impacted the overall vacation.
The service was excellent, every member of staff we came into contact with was delightful. Everyone was helpful and smiling and we couldn't have been more pleased. The ...
Itinerary
- Chose this itinerary because of the featured port - Bermuda; the only port we didn't visit was: BERMUDA
- We fully understand that the change was made in the name of safety
- Contingency plan was wholly inadequate - an extra day in Bahamas, an added day in Miami
- Having been to Bahamas before, there was nothing of interest to do there again
- Miami was framed as a ...
We're in the tri-state area so we thought an extended change of scenery without having to fly before summer ended would be nice. Deck 11 balcony near the middle. Boarding was fine, sailing away for a couple of days was good, Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center is a must-see (really makes you feel proud to be an American) but it is cheaper and more flexible to just Uber it back-and-fourth ...
We’ve travel on NCL but I don’t remember it being this limiting. There is one outside area to smoke with maybe 20 chairs and a few umbrellas. On the top deck. Super inconvenient to get to. Cigar lounge is only for cigars and casino is only if you’re playing.
We arrived in NYC at 6:30am with a NCL transfer from JFK. They neglected to tell us the shuttle didn’t come until 10am so we had to sit ...
I choose this cruise because the family was going which I was a little skeptical about going since we didn't enjoy the first one all that well either but the family was going so we went despite our better judgment.
I can't believe the absolute nightmare my family and I endured during our recent cruise on the Norwegian Joy from August 20 to 30, 2023. We had not one, not two, but a whopping nine ...
First time aboard an NCL cruise and it did not disappoint. Traveled as a couple this time and enjoyed their 'freestyle' approach which is laidback and gives people plenty of reason to enjoy their cruise their way.
Depending on what you want to do, you could love NCL or perhaps be a little disappointed. Our thoughts:
Cons:
We only did the dining package for two nights but it turned out ...
I have a few things I would like to bring to attention. Only 1 adult pool for about 3000 adults so crowded while swimming. You have to pay a service charge fee PER PERSON in each room 20$ a day. Hopefully that will be split with every crew member because the housekeeper made our beds and gave us clean towels, don’t think it should be that much of a service charge everyday for only a few things to ...
We are avid and experienced cruisers. We tried NCL years ago so we thought we would try them again. Big mistake. We have never experienced so much nickel and diming in our lives. Your cruise includes a few restaurants but there is constant encouragement to eat at one of the many speciality restaurants at a considerable a la carte cost. The quality of food that one expects from a cruise is only ...
We went on this cruise to celebrate my husband's birthday. My son is 15 and my daughter is 13. We thought this was going to be the cruise of a lifetime. Boy were we wrong! There was nothing for them to do besides the Waterpark which was closed half the time because it rained 3 out of the seven days on the cruise. We spent around $500 between the arcade and bingo just to keep them entertained. The ...
We booked this cruise as it was two days after our wedding and had a nice itinerary and the ship seemed like it had the features we wanted. It was my wife's first cruise so we went ahead and booked! Reading the reviews leading up to the trip I was concerned if I made the right decision. I'm glad to say that I didn't! Reviews mentioned overcrowding, poor service, uncleanly conditions, bad ...
