We recently travelled with NCL, prior the cruise I called three different times to cofirm if we needed an PCR test, every time, even a week before the crusie, we were advise yes and this needed to be within 72 hours before sailing. I board a professional lab to do this for us. Basically I wanted it doinf professionally as I did not want it getting lost in the post, or us not doing it right. ...
We choose this cruise because of the location that it cruised.
The ship was okay. the shore excursions were really good. The problem was with the booking. We were a group of 15. It was a nightmare trying to get NCL to correct errors on birth dates and names. They also did not live up to their contract to pay for transfers from the ships docking port to the airport except for a few of us. There ...
Our cruise seemed about half full - perhaps a bit more - only half of the breakfast buffet at the very back of the ship was open each morning.
Make sure you download the app before getting on the ship!
I've uploaded one day's worth of the Freestyle Daily as photos.
Service - It seems like Norwegian has been reading the reviews here, because some of the things other people complained ...
1st ever cruise taken & also wanted to visit Israel
During the booking process I was was initially advised that a Covid lateral flow antigen test would be required before travel. After booking & at very short notice - 4 days before embarkation - was then advised by NCL via email that Israel required a PCR test within 72 hours of embarkation. After much inconvenience and at a cost of £160 for ...
My wife and I chose this cruise because a visit to the Holy Land had been on our bucket list. The staff on the ship generally were competent, the excursions well run however their front desk staff were on a couple occasions aloof and dismissive. We had a metal ventilation grate fall off the ceiling 2 nights in a row and hit the floor adjacent to the bed. The HVAC system in our cabin was noisy so ...
Picked this cruise for the itinerary, specifically interested in visiting the religious sites. Embarkation went smoothly as the Piraeus (Athens) port was extremely organized in the COVID testing process and check in. Within an hour we were onboard the ship and our luggage was delivered about three hours later. Unfortunately our experience started going downhill on day one. We tried to attend ...

The NCL Jade May 1, embarkation Anthens, round trip. The following issues occurred during the 7 night cruise.
1) Lack of communication that an antigen test was required before boarding, which was redundant due to the PCR test that was required before we could board.
2) Port being removed without prior notification until on board and reviewing itinerary. And notification that a 2nd PCR would ...
At first glance this Itinerary couldn't be passed up; Athens, Kusadasi (Turkey), Patmos (Greece), Ashdod (Jerusalem), Haifa (Tel Aviv), Limassol (Cyprus), Santorini, Athens. The price was excellent: Oceanview $799 The opportunity to visit the Holy Land doesn't come by too often. You can always find a cruise stopping in Santorini.
The ship was Norwegian Jade. A medium size ship which operates ...
Our suite was definitely the highlight of our cruise. Our Owner’s Suite with two balconies (one right over the bow) was gorgeous, well-appointed, we’ll-maintained and a pleasure to spend the whole week in. Our room steward - Efrin - and butler - Charina - were both excellent, pro-active and did a great job taking care of our needs. However the ship itself seemed utterly mismanaged in almost ...
