Norwegian Los Angeles Cruise Reviews

This was my ninth cruise, after two on Disney, five on Royal Caribbean, and most recently one on Carnival just a few weeks back. Unfortunately, this cruise was just "fine" and I've canceled a future NCL cruise to book with another line. This is rare for me - usually I'm clamoring to book another cruise with the same line by the time I've disembarked. I was sailing solo for my birthday and because ...

I have sailed on the NCL Bliss 3 times (2022, 2023, 2024). This most recent cruise was to the Mexican Riviera (first time with NCL but have sailed the same itinerary on another cruise line). The ship was beautiful and the staff were generally very helpful and friendly. The buffet quality and variety is still my favorite of all the lines I’ve sailed. Based exclusively on the on-ship experience, ...

We've done 15 or so cruises previously and this was our first time on NCL. We have a lot of mixed emotions. I will add some up front context to set the table as someone in a different life circumstance may feel differently. We are a mid-40s couple without kids. Shame on me for booking this trip during spring break...I get it. I was thinking about work and not about hundreds of screaming kids or ...

This was my second cruise, the first was with Princess, this one was on the Norwegian Bliss. The Bliss was a pretty ship, decently clean and spacious, although there were spots that definitely showed the ships age - peeling paint in spots, chairs in restaurants with cracked seating pads (in one restaurant every single seat was beyond worn, and the majority were cracked and split). The rooms: ...

This is a big ship. Very nice. Nicely appointed and newish. Getting on and off was quick and easy. The staff everywhere were friendly, helpful and a pleasure to deal with. The cabin steward did a really good job, had a lot of cabins to do but, he was inconsistent timing. Sometimes cabin was cleaned at 9 AM and other times it was still undone at 2:30 PM. He did a very good job though. The ...

I went with my son to celebrate his birthday. We have been on many cruises before, all on Carnival. Chose this cruise for its itinerary, also looked like a great ship. The ship was beautiful, cabins were nice, Stewart was great. Very disappointed in the food, all the carnival cruises I’ve taken the dining room food is so good. The dining room here was ok at best. When you are on a 15 day cruise ...

We paid extra to be in a balcony cabin so we could look out and sit outside while cruising . It took a long while to get on, and even longer to get off. Our cabin was not thoughly cleaned before we were allowed up. We found a makeup brush on the floor. Our sliding glass door, the glass balcony and the balcony rail were all caked with salt and I couldn't see through them. When sitting in a ...

Our balcony cabin was on Deck 12 towards the aft. Maybe that location explains why we had to endure noticeable vibrations seemingly from the engines all the time. It got so bad at one point (Day 2) that I called Guest Services; they sent a representative to our cabin and confirmed the situation. With apologies and statements to say that the issue would be looked into, that was that. The situation ...

I chose this cruise because my past Norwegian ships such as the getaway and the joy was good and the entertainment on this ship that o heard it was good. The restaurant was good food was good. Most staff was friendly but or at the waterside at the pool pushed me down and didn’t hold on to the tube when I was getting on. I feel and hurt my self. Overall it was ok. The elevators was so busy and it ...

I’m usually not one to write reviews, and I’m usually a pretty easy going passenger. Things happen, mistakes are made, it’s never a big deal. But this most recent trip - 4 nights from LA to Vancouver - I was so disappointed!! Truly! We booked a mid balcony room (no complaints there, great as always) and we had the premium plus drink package. Drinks were great, food was alright (complimentary meals ...
