Norwegian Southampton Cruise Reviews

Hadn’t been to 3 of the ports, and 10 nights sounded good. Didn’t anticipate having to constantly pay for transfers from the ship to the destination! It’s a big ship and therefore had to dock in commercial docks, Entertainment - the shows were first class but during g the day was pretty poor Food was excellent- although busy on sea days! Definitely take the drinks package, great ...

Dining: There appears to be a variety of dining options but it feels like they serve the same food with different presentation. The food itself is alright but they ran out of hash browns on the third or fourth day and never resupplied. Also either ran out of Drambuie and Shiraz or never had it on board at all despite both items still being on the menu. The beer selection was uninspired and the ...

We chose this cruise based on the ports visited. We have cruised many times before but this was our first NCL experience. We opted for a suite within the Haven which was the best decision we made. The suite was comfortable and spacious, our butler Bernie was always reachable but not in your face. We enjoyed the perks such as being escorted on and off the ship, also priority seating and ...

I chose this cruise because I had previously sailed with NCL "Spirit" and had a wonderful time. The ship and the crew were terrific. This time - on the plus side the crew, as always were a delight. NCL have some of the most wonderful crew members. There were plenty of dining areas and the food was acceptable The price I paid, as a solo traveller in an inside cabin, was a real ...

Honestly I had high hopes for this cruise but after, I can say I am beyond disappointed. From the activities provided all the way down to not being on time for port, and then canceling our last day. All the fun activities you have to PAY for, even though you bought the tickets to be on the ship. The free open activities consist of the ropes course and water slides/pool, which are outside and since ...

We sailed around Britain to meet family. The stops were great shame we never made France due to strikes. My husband is in a wheelchair and I truly can fault the staff they were so helpful and accommodating. They went out of their way to make his holiday truly amazing. I'm gluten free and golly did I struggle, I had to keep asking if things were gluten free as nothing was marked. They ...

Norwegian Getaway is a ship that is totally centred on it's mainly USA clientele. We weren't expecting that - for a no-fly cruise from/to Southampton encompassing mainly Northern Europe. There were no concessions to it's UK passengers in terms of catering (no British back bacon - just the dreadful American stuff. No HP sauce, no Marmite, no skimmed milk) Minor niggles I accept - but without ...

We chose this ship because it introduces a new design concept. It’s like a boutique ship that feels like a floating spa with a modern minimalistic approach different entertainment venues and outdoor seating areas and the spa area is beautiful. We had karaoke every night, the shows are top notch, very good food variety and quality, and best of all you’re not limited to dining at specific times. ...

This cruise was miserable, disappointing, stressful & filled with frustrations. Here is why: 1) Design flaws of the ship caused chaos due to overcrowding at Surfside Cafe and pubic areas. Surfside Café was too small (occupied one side of the deck vs 2 sides of deck) and could not accommodate a capacity of 3K passengers. People were pushing and filled with aggravation due to lack of seating. ...

Our previous cruise with NCL in Mar 23 was very disappointing and we vowed not to cruise with them again, however, we came across this reasonably priced and local cruise for us around the British Isles, Holland, Belgium and France. We expected the worse, but were pleasantly surprised. The ship is a bit tired in places and the décor old fashioned but we liked it. It was clean and spotless ...
