I was nervous that the Norwegian Spirit wouldn’t be as nice an experience as Celebrity’s Equinox but it actually exceeded my expectations. Wonderful staff and service. Excellent food. Lots of fun entertainment and activities offered. Great basic drink package that included everything from martinis to Irish coffee, pina coladas and Coronas. The ship was smaller than the Equinox but nicely updated ...
My wife wanted to try Norwegian after speaking to many at her work who regularly use NCL. We have been on 25+ cruises and 23 of them were with Carnival. We had 1 Royal Caribbean and I had one NCL (20+ years ago) and didn't really remember much about that small ship out of Miami.
We chose the 7 day out of New Orleans (we live right outside the area) with stops in Cozumel, Roatan, Honduras, ...
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 ...
Our first NCL cruise was on spirit (amazing cruise) but all bigger ships since. Didn’t think we’d go back to a small older ship till we saw this itinerary. 13 Caribbean islands on a 14 day cruise, no sea days, leaving from Dominican Republic.
Took a few days to adjust to the layout and know our way around. Bliss lounge took the place of the atrium and we loved it. Much more seating but ...
To get away from winter weather up north. Price and latitude extras were also an incentive. We enjoy sailing on Norwegian.
We also liked the BOGO airfare making it a better bargain. It was our first time booking a window cabin after several cruises with a balcony. It was a fine trade for reducing our cost as we just sailed most of these ports in November. The specialty restaurants were ...
My husband and I just got back from a 14 day Caribbean cruise on the Norwegian Jade. We had a great time. The check in process was quite quick, and we were on the ship by 12:30 enjoying lunch and cocktails. By 4:00 our cabin was ready. We had an inside cabin which was quite small, but we were hardly ever in it, just to sleep, shower, and get changed. The food and service were very good. I ...
I had always wanted to return to South Africa since living there as a child. For our retirement we planned a dream vacation that began in Cape Town, picked up the NCL Dawn for a 12 night cruise and should have culminated in a 4 day stay in Mauritius, but as a result of the authorities suspecting a cholera outbreak on board we missed out on our Mauritius stay.
I have cruised for over 40 years ...
My wife and I enjoyed our 11 day NCL cruise on the Jade very much. The food was excellent as was the entertainment. Every evening we went to the Stardust Theater and enjoyed a variety of entertainment from a comedian, singers, Blazing Boots Show, acrobatics, even the hypnotist was fun. We enjoyed the gym every day. The equipment was nice with plenty of room to work out as we choose. We had ...
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 choose this cruise for the departure port and ports of call. We have taken 20+ cruises on multiple lines in the past. But, only one previous cruise on Norwegian which was not enjoyable. This was our return review of the line. Prior to sailing we reviewed the posting for this line and departure port. Most were not very complimentary but we gave them a chance anyway.
