We choose this cruise based on the destinations and the price. We enjoyed the cruise but found the ship confusing to navigate. Renovations have left this ship a bit chopped up as far as deck layout goes. There were no distinct problems but she is starting to show her age. Food while plentiful, was a little unimaginative, and repetitive. The noise levels on the ship could be quite high at times in ...

NCL cut cabin staff and service

We are platinum with NCL and have taken 4 cruises since the pandemic. At first I excused the reduced staff due to Covid. Now I understand they are just cutting costs at the expense of service to the passengers. The cabin stewards have twice as many cabins so no turn down service. They are overworked and in bad mood. They cannot provide personal service and you cannot count on what time your cabin ...

We wanted to explore a little outside our usual territory, and the Baltic Sea was an area we hadn't really visited in depth. We also hadn't cruised much with Norwegian, but they had the itinerary and we thought the price was fair... so off to Sweden we flew. We spent a couple days in Stockholm before departure, and enjoyed trips to the Vasa Museum, a tour of the archipelago that lies between ...

The cruise was ruined for us by the extraordinary noise we have been subjected to every evening in our staterooms from 6pm to 10.30 pm by bands playing in the nearby Atrium. I complained 3 different times that the noise levels are above safety standards (capable of having an ordinary conversation an arm’s length apart). Their reception staff have to work in the same noise levels so the cruise line ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary. For our style of travel (we have been on 16 cruises and also land based vacations) the best thing about cruising is the convenience of seeing a variety of places without having to unpack, pack, and move suitcases between each one. We avoid cruises with lots of sea days. We also avoid cruises with lots of tender stops due to the difficulty in meeting ...

Went on the Baltic cruise in June of 23 with two teenage grandsons. This was my third NCL cruise and 7th overall. There were several minor problems like a piece of luggage lost for 1 1/2 days, a long and disorganized wait for Teppanaki (food wasn't worth the wait), long lines at the buffet for lunches (main restaurants were closed for lunch), not being able to get a table at the buffet, bad food ...

Lovely ship! Great Stewards and phenomenal culinary staff

The cruise started off normally and was fine to start off. From day one the food on board, including the pay restaurants, was nothing short of sensational! I cant compliment the culinary staff enough. I would like to state that our steward as well as most stewards went over and above on this cruise to make our long stay as pleasant as possible! The weather wasn't the best for most of the trip but ...

I'll just go over my experiences in order; Friday-Embarkation. I've never experienced one this bad. Got on the ship in Quebec City, we had reserved a 10am embarkation, however the doors to the terminal did not open until 11:30 and by then the lines were huge. Once we got to the area where we could check-in, it was clear the staff NCL was using was not trained. It took over 45 minutes for ...
