Review for a Alaska Cruise on Norwegian Spirit

My wife has Al's a dying. Choose this cruise because we have never seen Hawaii and Alaska. We are not rookies with NCL, we are diamond member with over 500 sea days with them. It's sad to see all the cuts they made. Your room. They now come once a day, not turning the cabin at night. When boarding 2.30 to 3 pm to get in the cabin. Little folded animals or chocolates on your pillow. ...

Never, Never, Never use Norwegian unless you want poor service and sub-standard food. PS. We have cruised: NCL, Royal, Holland, Celebrity, MSC, Viking, and Princess in the past 20 years. Checkin is horrible; 1.5 hrs on two lines. First was security, and then checkin, where we had to do the exact same things we did online. Food = substandard, with Buffet food looking good but tasting weird. ...

One would think a cruise around the Hawaiian Islands would be a slam dunk wonderful experience – we were certainly disappointed by our week with Norwegian on their Spirit of America. This cruise is basically a floating hotel/dining room that provides inter-island transportation and not much else. Here’s my impression(s) of what we experienced (all using a scale of ...

This experience was the worse and was the opposite of a vacation. It started with how NCL booked our flights at 5AM from the west coast and split us from our adult kids. One of them is disabled and we asked NCL if we could switch one parent onto the flight and move our other child. That was a no. Thankfully the airline was fantastic and provided an escort service. We thought it would be better ...

Poor dining service, ports are very industrial

We wanted to see the Hawaiian islands and thought this would be a great way to do that. The ship docks at mainly industrial ports, where there is not much around. If you haven’t signed up for one of Norwegian’s excursions or arranged some other forms of transportation you are in for a hike. Norwegian’s excursions are quite expensive. We found excursions provided by others (if you can find ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

Me and my husband came for the first time as passengers, we have been working on cruise ships for 5 years, so as a crew we know how ships have to be clean and how to work and be nice to passengers. This ship didn't hit our expectations at all. As soon we arrive on the ship, we were waiting for a room to be cleaned for 5 hours(wasn't a big deal, but still) then we went to eat in Aloha and ...

We really enjoy the relaxation a cruise provides and were looking forward to sailing on the Pride Of America around the Hawaiian Islands leaving Honolulu Jan 7th 2013 returning Jan 14th 2013 . We love Hawaii and have been there many times and visited all Islands, so thought why not see the islands from a Cruise ship. However:If you want to spend the day watching the Hawaii Islands drift by ...

If it weren't for Hawaii, cruise would have seriously bombed. Hawaii fixes a lot. We are frequent cruisers and this was a let down, even though we paid more than any other cruise we have taken. Ship used half staff and claimed half passengers. So half the ship is always closed. Most specialty restaurants closed. Staff can't keep up with basic services and are grumpy. They pass the buck and ...

I had a Norwegian cruise credit that needed to be used. After 3 cancelations we were finally able to board. I understand the first cancelation, everyone did. The other two were management issues, booking a ship and knowing there was not hired help. No help from Norwegian on the last two. Lets start with the Cruise. Embarkation, we show up early because we were in Hawaii. The process was fine - ...
