I was told to go on a cruise, was super amazing experience got to try new foods and the service was outstanding! I am excited to come back and be with npcl! what an amazing week, I will definitely come back with ncl, pearl! thank you for the best week ever!!! I will definitely recommend this cruise line to everyone I know. And the food was amazing, super tasty and unique foods! I loved the beds, ...
The wait for this ship was worth it.
You definitely will not feel claustrophobic on the Encore. Getting on the ship in Miami was a breeze. We were welcomed by the crew with sparkling smiles. We headed to the dinning room for lunch, Taste. Service was good and the food was presented beautifully.
We then explored the ship. Went up to the Observation deck which was unbelievable. They have ...
NCL does a superb job with food, service, and communication. The entertainment was the best I have seen for a cruise ship.
Loved our cruise because of all the attention to detail!
The one thing we did not like was the closet layout in room. Very hard to get into.
Any of the staff we met on the ship could not have been friendlier ! No matter where you went, you were greeted with a smile ...
We chose Encore because it is new, NCL, and looked great. I read mixed reviews about the ship but went on with our plans.
We sailed from Miami to San Juan, St. Thomas and Tortola.
We had an ocean view cabin because with three kids that is basically all we could do (other than The Haven, which was five times more expensive).
The cabin was nicer than usual. They put the closets between bed ...
My spouse and I cruised on the January 5, 2020 sailing out of Miami. Overall, we had a good time, BUT there are things NCL could improve upon. I am very detailed oriented and for those who are not, it’s ok. Here are some details (for those who are interested) and listed in no particular order:
1) Time changed during our sailing. NCL moved the Ship’s time forward by one hour the night prior to ...
We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and wanted to do something a bit special. We particularly wanted to visit Caribbean islands that we hadn’t visited before such as Antigua and St.Lucia. It was disappointing that we were unable to dock at either of these islands due to bad weather. Whilst I appreciate that this was unavoidable, the replacement stop of Martinique was a big let ...
8th cruise with Norwegian and 2nd cruise on the Epic.
Very crowded in all public areas. Elevators crowded. Food on buffet was barely warm. Dining room food had good selection but was not on the level of past cruises. Staff was nearly running to serve people but meals still took a long time. Casino spans half of 7th floor and smells like a smoke pit. Bars always overcrowded to the point you ...
It all started when I made reservations with an NCL AGENT for an 11 day cruise in southern Caribbean because we wanted to see St Lucia. . The agent told us that the Norwegian Dawn was a small ship but was remodelled ad looked really nice! He told us the cabin was going to be deluxe and great location ! This info stirred me sexy from getting a balcony cabin.he did not book our cabin but waited for ...
I love sea days. The itinerary originally had 5 ports in the 11 day itinerary. The Tampa Terminal #2 is very small. Embarkation was slow. It really didn't bother me. It was very smooth and it seemed like the port employees worked as hard as they could to keep the line moving.
The Dawn is old. I think she is showing her age a bit. It was very windy for most of the cruise. The ship did roll ...
I am a loyal NCL customer so I did not check the reviews prior to cruising and wish I had done so. I have been on many NCL vessels and have never had a concern or problem, but in my view the Epic was designed purely for profit at the expense of customer comfort. From the unusual layout to the cabins its simply put not a comfortable ship. Everything else is fine from the staff to the food to the ...
