NCL unapologetically lowers cruise expectations

Review for a Mexican Riviera Cruise on Norwegian Bliss

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

I booked the 7 day Baja Mexico cruise. NCL unexpectedly canceled their port stop, on several cruise itineraries, to Ensenada - without any notice or explanation. Remember that you are paying for that port and the charges were not refunded. The NCL “free” airfare was BAD. The worst was a 11:59pm return flight that they wouldn’t change! The embarkation process was a disorganized zoo, with ...

If you don’t know any better, you may find yourself enthusiastic about NCL, but if this is the case, you are missing out! I am currently aboard the Bliss on a 7 day Baja cruise and I will tell you what to expect or what to avoid. For starters, the embarkation process is a zoo. It’s sad to say, but don’t come when you are scheduled, come way later in the day and here is why. First, there are so ...

I wrote a review on their site, but probably won't get published. Here are the things my family of 7 were unhappy with on our 7day NCL Bliss 3/17-24/2024: 1.food, awful except for specialty dining. 2. too much nickel & dime, extra for drinks, race cars, laser tag, specialty dining-the quality was great, but it's what should be served without extra fees. 3. not clean enough-whole family got a bad ...

We did not enjoy this cruise at all and wanted to post this for other's consideration in booking a cruise. For the record, my husband and I have taken approximately a dozen cruises, primarily on HAL and Royal Caribbean, and one on Celebrity. This was our first and last cruise on NCL for the reasons discussed below. On the positive side, I thought the observation lounge was beautiful and it ...

Unethical behavior from NCL

We decided to take the Cruise because the Bliss has the Racetrack, and we booked our cruise almost a year in advance, and were told there would be ample ability to drive go carts and that there even was an unlimited race package. The whole process on the NCL site is convoluted and a bit crazy, all from not having much information to requiring you to pay on the spot or possibly get your cruise ...

We booked a large suite in the Havens and there were many problems with the room including the fact that all the windows on the balcony were so badly fogged up that you could not see through them. The 2 A/C units were clogged up and not working, as well as the showers were not draining. The food in the Havens restaurant was fabulous but the other restaurants around the ship were very average. ...

Nightmare starting at arrival at Port of Miami and basically sitting (or standing due to lack of chairs) in a human warehouse; given numbers without explanation when we checked in. Little did we know that thousands of people would be waiting for their number to be called because they were yelling that they were running behind in getting people from the previous cruise ship. That's at least what ...

I was on the norwegian bliss sailing january 7-12 on the mexican riviera itinerary. This definitely put me off ever cruising norwegian ever again. PROS: SIX AND JERSEY BOYS Cons: pretty much everything else. Overall: a vacation is still a vacation. It is what you make of it. We still had fun and did our own thing, but have decided that norwegian is definitely not for us. I have ...

I chose this cruise because it fit the dates of our holiday schedule and I didn't want to go with Carnival. The ship also had broadway shows that we were interested in seeing so that was a special feature for us. These are the things that happened: * Day 1- while sitting down with a rep to set up my special dining reservation, the chair broke. I fell onto the tile flooring, bruising my ...

The positives of this cruise, the itinerary, the musicals, good shower space, and decent food. The negatives: 1. Is a mega-ship with a poor design unable to accommodate all their passengers without feeling constantly overcrowded and always struggling to find a space to eat or relax. For example more than once passengers were faced with lack of tables at the buffet restaurant, and were ...
