Norwegian Mexican Riviera Cruise Reviews

The cruise had an interesting itinerary and we wanted to traverse the Panama Canal- this was definitely the highlight of the cruise. The tours offered were quite ordinary and in my opinion overpriced. The regular restaurants offered excellent food and very good service. We did enjoy the specialty restaurant The Bistro but did not think the other specialty restaurants available were worth the ...

Plus Food was normally pretty good Staff were mostly polite and accommodating Minus Not stopping at Nicaragua changed the dynamic of the cruise. Too many days at sea. Also, no explanation or apology, just a note on arrival. Not acceptable The constant announcements through the canal starting at 6am, and going all day, was a real distraction. Entertainment was somewhere between ...

I originally chose this cruise back in May of 2021 due to the double up promotions on latitudes points. I booked a Suite at full fare (to get the 60 points offered) and was given an inside suite with a "virtual" balcony. The amenities on the website said our room included butler service, daily treats delivered to our room, and priority disembarkation. We received absolutely none of those. This ...

Everything was closed when aboard the ship. The app didn’t work on board, nor did any of the touch screens aboard the ship. 2 of our excursions cancelled the night before and the two we actually did weren’t as advertised and way overpriced. The show “Elements,” their signature show, was AWFUL! The dancers couldn’t dance at all and the singers were off pitch. The dances were disturbing and ...

My sister and I have travelled on numerous cruises together and this was our first time trying Norwegian. We are comparing our experience on Norwegian with our experiences on multiple Carnival cruises as well as with Holland America. We are in our late 40s. We decided to take a family Christmas cruise with our parents (who are in their 70s), and my 2 teenage children to celebrate several ...

Spirit Airlines of the seas -- you get there, but the experience isn't always pleasant and you feel like cargo. Ridiculous embarkation process -- 3.5 hours in lines -- felt like Disney. Tender day was worse -- 2.5 hours to leave ship -- 2.5 hours in line in port to reboard tender. Why bother? Most dinners were terribly delayed and took over 3 hours on 3 occasions. Huge lines to try and speak ...

I am 19 and have had the privilege of sailing on 12 cruises across 4 different cruise lines in the past 10 years. I have never been compelled to write a review until I sailed on Norwegian for the first time onboard the Norwegian Joy last week because I want potential Norwegian customers to be aware of their other choices and scam-like onboard experience. I have sailed with Celebrity, Princess, ...

We have been cruising for over 30 years and have been on various cruise lines, so we have experience both good, bad and exceptional cruises. This the first cruise we decided to take since the COVID lock down. We selected this cruiseline because we are Gold members and have had some great times on previous sailings. Our first issue was arriving at the port to check-in Port Canaveral. Prior ...

Although our Baltic cruise in 2017 on the NCL Getaway left us unhappy, we thought we would give NCL another try. That was a mistake! EMBARCATION -- A breeze. We were onboard quickly and without fuss. CABIN -- We were in cabin 10872, a starboard-side balcony room near the rear staircase. Since the ship had only two banks of stairs/elevators, anyone in mid-deck cabins constantly faced ...

We had planned this cruise for 2 years, which had to be rescheduled due to Covid concerns. This was our second time on Norwegian and certainly our last. The fact that it was a 21 day cruise was definitely a factor in our disappointment since NCL had basically the same shows (actually two good ones, Kinky Boots and Choir of Men) that they ran in the first week, changed some of the cast, and then ...
