NCL has little care for customers

Review for a Asia Cruise on Norwegian Jewel

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We booked the cruise because of the great itinerary (as advertised), which included port calls at the 3 Japanese islands. NCL had then decided to consolidate the 3 stops to 2 - only in Okinawa. The extra day was turned into a sea day! About 1 week before sailing, NCL elected to move the disembarkation port from Yokohama to Koto City in Tokyo. Despite of complaints, NCL's position was "too ...

Worst NCL ship I have ever been on.

I am platinum on my way to Sapphire with NCL. I'm also travel agent. This ship is the worst I have ever been on. If you have mobility issues, and need to use a wheelchair or a scooter and are traveling alone this ship is NOT for you. The bathrooms that are labeled as handicap accessible do not have any automatic door openers. Nor do many of the decks, with the exception of deck 11. Beside the ...

Some things should be of vital importance to enjoy this cruise, but no help at all

Ths cruise was a 14 day Caribbean cruise that visited a different island every day. The itinerariy was fine, but two major things prevented being able to give a good review, which I always had done before on all of our past cruises. The first was that they should NEVER sell a cruise with three adults in those tiny basic rooms. We could have made do with two people, but three were an ...

First of all, our family room veranda and balcony were very small and impractical. The food menu contained no variety and the food itself was below mediocre. The swimming pool for the entire ship was only one very small, uncovered pool for all of the passengers aboard. It was unusable for at least 5 days because of cool/cold temperatures. The public bathroom nearest to the pool was out of order, ...

We have been on many cruises with NCL and other lines. By far this is the worst food ever on a cruise ship, poor quality, poorly prepared and the same food over and over again. The public areas of the ship needs to be gutted and redone; many small venues with limited space for patrons. The entertainment was very poor with the exception of the comedian and a singer by the name of ...

Never again!-Well this cruise was sold to us on the basis of visiting some exotic and fairly off the beaten track unusual places -we paid for a 12 day cruise with stops in Madagascar and Mozambique.In the end NCL provided a 10 day trip which didn’t stop in either of the two countries above and involved 4 days floating slowly across the Indian Ocean at a speed designed to save them fuel and ...

We chose this cruise because of the destinations, and had heard good things about Norwegian. I’m a very positive person and always focus on the positives and try to diminish anything negative, however - there was NOTHING good about this cruise ship and their staff. Nothing. First, they allow smoking in so many places on the ship, including the casino on the 7th floor - which pretty much made ...

I have just read the last review relating to the same cruise and I couldn't agree more. We understand that the ship has been in operation for 20 years but there were several occasions as though this was the first time that it had been in service. Disconnection of internal staff communication, poor management of embarkation/immigration procedure, apparent disinterest of some of the senior staff, ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We chose this cruise because of the interesting itinerary from Mauritius, via Réunion, Madagascar, Mozambique , down the east coast of Africa to Cape Town. Even before we sailed, Mozambique was cut. We were involved in the cholera debacle, being due to board on the 25th Feb, but holed up in Mauritius until the 27th. These things happen, we all know that, but the way NCL handled it was appalling. ...

Our group of 7 family and friends were excited to begin the NCL cruise embarking in Mauritius that we had all been planning months. When we arrived in Mauritius, We received a letter via email saying that the cruise was unable to dock due to health concerns by the port. We were instructed to report at our pre-arranged boarding time to the port. at which time we would receive accommodation until ...
