Norwegian Caribbean Cruise Reviews

First I would like to say that I was extremely happy with the studio and am looking forward to my next sailing on Prima 10/6/24. Unfortunately I was extremely unhappy with a number of things on the Getaway. The majority of the meals in the main dining rooms were inedible. Either the meat was too tough to cut or the food was undercooked. I have been cruising for 40 yrs on various cruise lines and ...

After 16 cruises I was rather shocked that such a form of cruising/ship still exists. The ratio staff to passengers is poor, even worse the ratio cabins to public rooms. On sea days you could sit nowhere and you had to retreat to your cabin. The fight for tables in the main buffet restaurant was usually challenging and the quality of food was 2 or 3 stars max. There was not one food display you ...

WARNING on priority access. Do not waste the money. No one at the port or on the ship knows where to direct you so you end up in the main boarding line anyway, your “early” time slot is the same as all the other passengers, the onboard spa credit is a scam as you have to spend $500 just to get the $100 and it’s only for certain services, many trips don’t have tendering heavy stops and the ...

Disappointed in NCL overall and the Joy. Cons: Free at Sea is the worst package of extras we have experienced in comparison to Princess, HAL and Celebrity. All of these cruise lines include premium coffee and unlimited Wi-Fi with their packages, NCL does not. 2. Public spaces overwhelmed by the number of passengers. 3. Service slow because of the number of passengers. 4. Not enough lounge chairs ...

The budget cutting on NCL shows for passengers who have cruised NCL before. For example, there are no hash browns at breakfast and they are not available by request, even in the sit down restaraunts. The entertainment (Choir of Man) is fine and in line with other companies, but it is not the exceptional entertainment that NCL used to be known for. The food in the main dining rooms has been pared ...

I had never been on a cruise before so I figured let's go with Norwegian. I've been on four prior cruises (Carnival in April/1998, Disney in August/1998, Disney in May/2022, Royal Caribbean in May/2023). These four were definitely very good. Norwegian? Absolutely not. Let's cover the pros before I go into the extensive cons PROS -Beautiful, elegant ship. -Delicious food, albeit there were ...

I am platinum on my way to Sapphire with NCL. I'm also travel agent. This ship is the worst I have ever been on. If you have mobility issues, and need to use a wheelchair or a scooter and are traveling alone this ship is NOT for you. The bathrooms that are labeled as handicap accessible do not have any automatic door openers. Nor do many of the decks, with the exception of deck 11. Beside the ...

Ths cruise was a 14 day Caribbean cruise that visited a different island every day. The itinerariy was fine, but two major things prevented being able to give a good review, which I always had done before on all of our past cruises. The first was that they should NEVER sell a cruise with three adults in those tiny basic rooms. We could have made do with two people, but three were an ...

First of all, our family room veranda and balcony were very small and impractical. The food menu contained no variety and the food itself was below mediocre. The swimming pool for the entire ship was only one very small, uncovered pool for all of the passengers aboard. It was unusable for at least 5 days because of cool/cold temperatures. The public bathroom nearest to the pool was out of order, ...

We have been on many cruises with NCL and other lines. By far this is the worst food ever on a cruise ship, poor quality, poorly prepared and the same food over and over again. The public areas of the ship needs to be gutted and redone; many small venues with limited space for patrons. The entertainment was very poor with the exception of the comedian and a singer by the name of ...
