Norwegian Mexican Riviera Cruise Reviews

The Bliss had the itinerary we were interested in. Wasn't a good experience. At embarkation there was standing room only in the terminal, I get that. But the lady escorting Haven guests yelled (yes, yelled) at us every time she walked by to move out of the way. She said we couldn't stand in the side aisle. There was no where to go, the terminal was packed. The food in the main dining ...

We picked this specific itinerary, and because Celebrity does not do a FULL transit, in the winter. We did do a Princess Cruise in 2020 but did not like it at all. Having not sailed with NCL since 2018 (previously 6 cruises), (we did 3 Celebrity, and 1 Princess in between), we definitely noticed the cut-backs, and the nickel and diming that NCL has been accused of. Embarkation was a ...

We took the cruise to Cabo San Lucas on 12/19/23. We've taken Royal Caribbean and Holland America before but never with Norwegian. It's the only cruise that fit our schedule so we decided to give it a try. But since day 1 our experience with Norwegian become so bad. On Day 1, we drove to Long Beach Cruise Terminal, which is a mess. Driving in is a pain since there's only one lane to enter. We ...

We choose this cruise because because we were pleased with a previous cruise with the Breakaway earlier this year. Our flights were included and on time with United Airlines but we had to pay check the suitcases. The food in the free dining rooms was bad and the service was ok only in Savor. NCL "forces"you to buy the specialty restaurants packages if you want a decent meal and it comes ...

We choose because of the itenery. Ship was very clean & crew very friendly. The food was horrible ! Corn & ham on pizza only 1 example. Entertainment I have seen better at high school level. Pool Entertainment was funeral music. They asked us to buy a cruise pkg of $3k upfront lump sum to guarantee them 12 cruises. NO! there was a port cancelation & the refused refund of the port fee. They ...

I've gone on Carnival, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean. Norwegian has the best dining with Specialty Restaurants but other than that it's a very boring ship. Too many children running around unattended, hot tubs full of children. Comedy night was 18+ but people bought their children so the comedian talked about oral sex and masterbation as I sat there with children around. Left there and went to ...

I’m trying to write this while everything from this cruise is fresh in my mind (we returned yesterday). This is a review of a Norwegian Cruise Lines week-long cruise to Mexico from San Diego and is fairly lengthy. If you want to skip the details, the conclusion is that my wife and I have been contentedly cruising on Celebrity for a number of years. We will be skipping NCL in the future in favor ...

I chose this cruise for a couple reasons. One - I was on this ship right before Covid hit, I had a couple issues (I fell on the tender and no one from NCL helped me, the passengers did) and I remember overall it was okay and I was cruising with my mom and wanted to show her the larger ships. Two - the dates and times worked for us, so I booked it for the yearly mother- daughter vacation. Where do ...

We chose this cruise first of all because of the ship and also because of departure from Los Angeles. We have cruised Royal Caribbean and Carnival in the past and enjoyed both, but wanted to try a different line. We thought NCL might be our new choice after looking at the Bliss and it's amenities. We will go back to our previous cruise lines in the future, but here are pros and cons: Pros: The ...

We picked this cruise because we've never done a west coast before. Never again Let us start with the embarkment process. Our time was 11 am and we arrived at 10:45 am. We waited outside in the Sun for 3 hours before we could get on the ship. We have done over 10 cruises with other cruise lines and 3 or 4 with NCL. Never seen anything like this. The line to get on the ship was longer than ...
