Totally disappointed

I wish I would’ve googled this ship before we booked, but I guess I gotta learn somehow. This was our first cruise with Norwegian and everyone was ranting and raving about how great everything is. The only thing they had going for them was embarkment and disembarking, that was super easy as long as you know what you are doing. Our room had a hull balcony, which is fine because I knew what those ...

This was our 4th Norweigan ship and cruise. Out of 20 cruises sailed this was the worst ship we have ever been on. The venues for the shows were small, the layout of the ship was noisy, and the food was cold or overdone, more often than not. The entertainment was repeated and not that great of quality. A large casino , but prices of buyins were high so tables sat empty a lot. Speciality ...

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Norwegian Breakaway

We chose this transatlantic cruise because of its port intensive itinerary. The added attraction was that it was scheduled to only have 4 consecutive days at sea. We ended up having 6 days at sea because the ship was unable to dock in Ponta Delgado due to poor weather. Food in all venues was excellent. No complaints there. Ship ran out of tea within the first few days & coffee towards the ...

Never again on this short staffed, rundown rusty bucket with salty food

We were on the Breakaway in 2018 out of New Orleans. It was a beautiful ship with excellent, attentive service. So it was a tremendous disappointment to find her so rundown and most of the crew never smiling. The balcony cabin on Deck 14 was well worn. Safe was broken, bedsheets had musty smell, bed and pillows were lumpy, balcony was rusty with paint chips flaking off everyday. Cabin steward was ...

This is our 5th cruise on NCL in 2 years. Probably our last. In all of the previous cruises with NCL the dinning experience was different. This sailing sucked. They did not or are not offering reservations at the main dining rooms. Waits have been over an hour most meals. Once seated the meal takes over an hour to get all of the food. My wife has a food allergy and the buffet staff could not ...

I heard so much negative about this ship, but, I liked the itinerary and I wanted to judge for myself. So many billing mistakes, charges for shuttles to drive off the dock (not in the dailies) 3 ports had anywhere from 7euro to 20 and I didn’t get off the ship but I was charged and they won’t remove. Princess cruises, docked with us in Livorno, had no charge to shuttle. The casino crew was ...

My wife, a friend, and I just completed the 12 day Mediterranean Cruise on the Norwegian Epic which left out of Rome on November 8. My wife and I have been on NCL a couple of times in the past and had a great experience - wish I could say the same for this trip. The Epic can hold over 4500 passengers; but, there are only 2900 on board (just over 1/2 capacity). Below is a list of issues ...

We had originally booked a cruise through the Greek Islands and Turkey to Rome on the NCL Epic but it was canceled and this was the next best itinerary for the dates we had available for our vacation. The first problem arose when our luggage took until nearly 9:30pm to be delivered to our stateroom. And upon getting into our balcony cabin We had a a letter informing us that the ten day thermal spa ...

We first sailed on the Epic in 2016 and had a great time. The entertainment in particular was brilliant and the staff were great so we looked forward to returning for a 12 night European cruise this year. The deterioration was obvious from the minute we got on to the ship, no welcome from a crew member and glass of fizz. The entertainment, which had been so good before, was the biggest ...

It pains me to write this as my husband and I have taken multiple NCL cruises and have always been pleased. While the ports of call were wonderful, almost everything else lacked. The ship is dated, and needs improvement (the toilets are all especially stained). But most importantly, the staff was very inconsistent. We had an excellent room attendant, and did have a few good servers, but overall ...
