Norwegian Gay & Lesbian Cruises Cruise Reviews

I had researched the weather in each port in Alaska beforehand and it came to pass as expected. We did stop in all the ports and did a walk about in each place. We'd been to Alaska many times before and had taken the tours before. I understand the glacier stop had to be cancelled for safety reasons and many people were looking forward to it. However no one can see all Alaska has to offer in ...

In 2019 a similar itinerary on the NCL Spirit was also not achieved. We did not visit Iceland. Then this time we decided to take a cruise from Iceland itself. Well, our first cruise after the pandemic and after two years planning, we took the NCL Star from Reykjavik to visit 3 ports in Greenland and 3 ports in Iceland. Itinerary timing is wrongly designed because at these latitudes, the weather ...

We choose this cruise because of the opportunity to visit Greenland for the first time and return to Iceland which we had seen on an NCL cruise 5 years ago but not on the Star but on the Gem. We were concerned that the ship was much smaller and older then the ships we typically travel but because of the ports we decided to book it. By the time of our cruise we were aware the last scheduled ...

We are a family of 6, mom, dad, 19, 17, 6, 3. July 24-31 BCN-BCN We had two cabins 10087 and 10088. Booked flights through NCL with one free flight included per cabin. Since we had two cabins, they actually booked flights for each cabin separately and our family was split up 3 and 3 on separate flight itineraries! I was shocked that they would do this, but when I called (on hold for an ...

Embarkation Off to a challenging start. IT problems. Many room keys not working even after being reprogrammed. Drinks package not working on some cards. Lines for guest services backed up for hours. Some key cards needed to be reprogrammed 3 times or more. Some guests not linked with credit card of primary guest even though we checked in online and imputed all this information. It was a ...

Getting onto the cruise took a little longer than expected as it was line after line between checking Negative covid results and Passports. The cruise ship staff was Amazing and always so cheerful and helpful. The lack of staff in the public dining facilities was obvious. Pre-covid there were many many staff members in the Summer Palace or Indigo to assist. We had a party of 10 and the staff ...

First of all never ever let the Cruise book your airline tickets it took us 30 hours to get home. Cruise embarkation was fine .Rooms were clean and very nice room attendant did a great job cleaning but she was so busy she really didn’t get much personal care and I don’t blame her I blame the Cruise for being understaffed. The food was mediocre. Varieties in the buffet minimal. Especially ...

Why did I choose this cruise? We choose this cruise because it appeared to have more port calls than a similar Princess cruise. Lessons learned: Look carefully at the times and places of the port calls, and ability to add a land option. With the NCL itinerary, we could not add excursions on the embarkation or debarkation days nor any days before or after the cruise. Tell people about ...

I have travel with most of the US cruise lines before. This was my 6th cruise with NCL. We did the first cruise with them before Covid and loved everything about it. First their attention to clean with their "washy washy" and also their free style. Haven is another world. Their attention to detail in every aspect. This was our second cruise in summer 2022 in the Getaway. We did a Baltic cruise ...

We chose the Pearl because we live south of Boston & thought it would be great not to have to fly! The Pearl is a very nice ship, but having some elevators not go to some decks was hard to maneuver, especially with someone in a wheelchair & another with COPD. Embarking was a nightmare. We had a 10am check in. We were escorted to a hallway with seating & never boarded until 11:45! But to ...
