We took my parents for their birthday on the Norwegian Sun…they live in Florida and wanted to sail out of Miami or Ft Lauderdale. I had limited vacation time, and didn’t have many other options to book, so this cruise checked the boxes. We normally sail on Azamara or Celebrity, so we kept an open mind for NCL, knowing it might be a different product. We knew it would be an older ship, but as ...
We have cruised multiple times with multiple cruise lines this was such a disappointment to our group of 10 and a 16 month old. I will make this easy to review:
1. Long waits for everything
2. Since the casino is so large and covers so much of the 6th floor on the boat there is a constant smell of cigarette smoke on the floors above and below.
3. The kiddy pool is the size of a blowup ...
Mid ship / Deck 9 Balcony Room
Pros:
Excellent / Great food (all beef is angus beef) - never over cooked as we experienced both times on Royal Caribbean. By far the best food on any cruise line we've experienced.
Excellent customer service
No seasickness due to captain/pilot's experience on large swells on last day of cruise
No lines for Starbucks
Cons:
*No place to get away ...
This was my first Norwegian cruise an I enjoyed every minute. The cruise staff was excellent and so accommodating and friendly . I’ve been on over 12 cruises and I have to say, it’s the best so far. The food was excellent with so many delicious choices.
I looked forward to hopping up to the bar at Spice H20. Jerry and Vitas were the most fun and friendly bartenders I ever met. They were so ...
I have cruised other cruise lines several times. This was my first trip on Norwegian. The good thing about the ship was that we had a nice balcony room, that was soundproof even though near the elevators and stairs.
The rest was very poor.
1. Food was terrible. They did not even have the choices they listed on their website as their standard menu. They served the same core selections ...
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 ...
This was my seventh cruise and my fifth NCL cruise. We had a balcony room near the back of the boat on the 11th floor. The room was quiet and the room and balcony are exactly what I had expected of a newer large NCL or RCI ship,
I've always discounted reviews of others when they posted negative reviews of food. I'm not a particularly 'foodie' type person. I will clarify my thoughts by saying ...
Overall, we had a great time. This was our first NCL cruise, only cruised Princess in the past. We went with another couple and we all had a great time. Food was okay in the Main dining rooms, Specialty dining was better, but not much. We don't get caught up with that, as we realize they are preparing for 4000 + guests and specialty came with the package. the 150 minutes of wifi was a joke, we ...
I typically do not take the time to write a review but I felt compelled to save people from wasting their money on this ship. I must state this is our 11th NCL cruise and my family is loyal to NCL. Also have travelled on the Epic in 2019. WHAT HAPPENED?
I want to start by recognizing the good. The cruise next team were fabulous and the service in Cagney's and Le Bistro top notch! We were able ...
Disappointment in the quality of this cruise. This is my third NCL and 5th cruise and was the least enjoyable of my experience. The staff was frequently rude in numerous departments. You had to wait in line for everything including all restaurants and bars, which I've never experienced before. It was a minimum 20-30 minute wait for all bars & restaurants for service. There was a lack of activities ...
