After months of being unable to cruise due to the moratorium, I was eager to resume sailing. I had booked one NCL cruise but that was canceled. I then booked NCL Epic`s sailing from Rome on 20 Nov 2022. There were several alterations to the cruise identified shortly before I boarded the ship (but subsequent to the cut-off date for canceling with no financial penalty). First, the production of ...
Our Princess TA from Rome was cancelled. The price and itinerary worked for us so we booked our first NCL cruise. We have been on 38 cruises, mostly Princess tho we have tried Cunard, Disney, MSC, Carnival
Bottom line? I would never take this ship if fully booked. Even at 40% capacity there were some long lines. I will give NCL a try againāand bought two Future cruise certificates. Also, ...
I waited to write this trying to be fair and take the Covid protocols into account but even without Covid this ship is like a mish/mash of other ships. Bits of this and that...you soon start feeling you've been on the ship before. Deck, two tiny pools and massive slides etc. for kids. Naturally Cagney's, La Bistro, La Cuchina, were at their best as always. O'Sheehans was the only place with ...
Over the last 10 years, my husband and I have taken cruises on five different cruise lines. We started with about six or eight cruises on Carnival. We then wanted to try out Royal Caribbean. In our most recent, pre-covid cruises, we cruised on Disney, Princess and Celebrity cruise lines. With the exception of the food, we were pleased with Carnival but after about five different cruises with ...
We loved the Jade and the cruise. We sailed on the Jade years ago before it was redesigned. The Jadeās balcony staterooms are much better, having larger bathrooms and slightly smaller closets. Bathrooms have a sliding door for the toilet. Loved the stateroom design.
NCL figured out how to keep passengers safe during COVID. We were tested before being allowed to board, were tested multiple ...
We booked the cruise about a month before directly via NCL. Booked the whole package including flights and transfers which is the best way to book in the current covid climate. Got the cruise at a really good price and the original itinerary was to start from Athens, go to Cyprus, Israel, Turkey, few Greek islands and return back to Athens. The main reason for booking the cruise was to spend 2 ...
My husband and I chose this cruise because we wanted to travel when international travel opened and wanted to hit some warmer countries. While we have tried other cruise lines, we continually come back to NCL, especially for the Haven.
The pre-cruise communication was a miss as only some people were informed that we would not be going to Turkey. I found out through social media, and even then, ...
This was our first cruise with Norwegian and our last. The cabin was super small. This was a common complaint among the passengers we met. With that said, the room was very clean.
The food was subpar. The buffet had basically the same items daily. After 7 days, we didn't have much of an appetite. We dined in their seafood restaurant. The main dish was good, but the sides were cold. We ...
We have been cruising for approximately ten years, but more so since we have retired. We have 10 or 11 cruises under our belt and have sailed on Carnival, NCL, RCL and Princess. We originally chose this cruise because of the destination ports and the fact that it sailed out of Port Canaveral which is a days drive from home. It was to go to Amber Cove, Tortola, St. Thomas and Great Stirrup Cay. ...
Charter cruise/music experience on a cruise.
I've sailed on many ships to many locations. While the charter piece of this cruise was extremely well done, NCL was horrible as a provider of the sailing experience. Sailed on the The Gem. Again, I realize this was a charter and an old smaller ship so my comments take that into consideration.
Food: Horrible, tasteless, always cold and items ...
