Norwegian Eastern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

Our family of 4, 2 adults and 2 elementary aged children sailed on NCL Viva during spring break on a full ship. Prior to sailing I read mixed reviews about the NCL Viva. Our family found the ship to be modern and beautiful. It took a few days to get acclimated with the layout of the ship. Pools and public areas of the ship typically got crowded close to all aboard time when people returned to ...

Having sailed NCL several times before and reading reviews of the Gem, I looked forward to another enjoyable cruise. Sadly, we were disappointed. The ship is very well maintained. The staff, excellent (except some non-helpful Shore Exc. staff). The majority of the public areas and venues are very nice. Our favorites where the Great Outdoors and the Spinnaker Lounge. Food...let's just ...

Overall a great ship. Brand new. Food on board was delicious. Drinks were well prepare most of the time everywhere, beer on the other hand can be colder for my taste. The game room and go karts were spectacular. Entertainment for example the betelgeuse show was wayyyyy to long. Half way half of the people were sleeping and other already left. Total.of 1 hours and 45 min... almost 2 hours i think ...

Chose this cruise because of the itinerary and price. We found the overall ship to be in good shape and clean. The staff was excellent and very helpful. Stayed in a Haven suite and found the cabin to be clean and good size for my wife and I. We found the food to very good and restaurant staff to be great. The casino on the ship is the biggest we have seen on a cruise ship and really liked ...

Took this cruise because of the itinerary, 14 days and 14 ports. Was a bit disappointed as 2 ports were changed. However from when I reached the NCL Hotel to getting back to Santo Domingo Airport I was not disappointed. Every one from guests to crew were very friendly. Hotel: Falcon Suites, only stayed for 6 hours, what a luxury. No information given by NCL about pick up time to port had to ...

This was my first time on an NCL ship after years of sailing Celebrity and Royal Caribbean, and I was apprehensive - but the price for my solo studio cabin was SO much less than sailing solo on either of those lines that I decided it was worth taking a chance. I obsessively read reviews of Getaway beforehand and was pretty worried about the smoke-in-the-atrium issue and the overcrowding issue, ...

I booked this cruise on the spur of the moment during some unusually bitter winter weather here in Colorado which is not my normal way of doing things. We know NCL (we are gold latitude members), and they happened to have a cruise which was still open and reasonably tempting. As always their initial price was a real "come-on", but, of course, NCL will add many, many more charges (including their ...

Background Information This was our 2nd Norwegian cruise (31st overall for me, 32nd overall for my husband) - we'd previously sailed separately on Norwegian Sky more than 10 years ago. When the Prima class was announced, we decided that this was a ship design very much to our liking. So we thought it was time to give Norwegian another try with a new ship more in keeping with the ships we've ...

We are older folks and stayed in the Haven so understand that as you judge the value of my review to you. Also, these are my views and I really don’t care whether you agree or disagree. We have been doing Haven since it was first introduced and it continues to become less exclusive and personal. Having said that, we still think it is the best high end product on the market. Yes, you can do the ...

Last year we were on the Breakaway from New York ( round trip) this week. It wasn't offered in 2024 so we flew to Miami ( which cost a fortune for the five of us) grandparents, daughter and an 11 and 8 year old. We were in a two bedroom suite in the Haven. The bed was terrible ( soft and lumpy) and we had trouble sleeping. It is a beautiful Haven. I don't think it was sold out as the pool was ...
