Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Joy

I booked this cruise about 5 months ago to celebrate my wife’s birthday. I bought it on a supposed “sale”. When things were done, the sale price was inflated by almost $ 1000. I bought a balcony cabin with the drinks package ( they then upcharge you on that to include tips - you have no option to decline that charge, so that pads the bill) and it does not cover all tips or taxes. They also threw ...

We are older folks and stayed in the Haven so understand that as you judge the value of my review to you. Also, these are my views and I really don’t care whether you agree or disagree. We have been doing Haven since it was first introduced and it continues to become less exclusive and personal. Having said that, we still think it is the best high end product on the market. Yes, you can do the ...

I know before our cruise, I read a ton of reviews so hopefully this will be helpful to others. I normally don't write reviews, but I figured as helpful they are to me, I should give back!! It's a long one. Feel free to ask questions and I'll try to respond. Day 1 - We flew in the same day as our cruise so our time for embarkation was a little later (2:00 p.m.) Got an Uber to the port from ...

Last year we were on the Breakaway from New York ( round trip) this week. It wasn't offered in 2024 so we flew to Miami ( which cost a fortune for the five of us) grandparents, daughter and an 11 and 8 year old. We were in a two bedroom suite in the Haven. The bed was terrible ( soft and lumpy) and we had trouble sleeping. It is a beautiful Haven. I don't think it was sold out as the pool was ...

We sailed on the NCL Gem from 2/16-2/19. It was just hubby and I, we’re experienced cruisers with NCL and Royal Caribbean. For starters, I love the size of the Gem. I have been on the Getaway few years ago which at the time was one of the biggest, and since then only sailed on medium-sized ships. THE POSITIVES FIRST The Embarkation process - we embarked in Miami, and it was a breeze. ...

Not a pleasant cruise experience

Beautiful ship but the service was terrible. Staff is not friendly and rude, restaurants always booked at times you want to eat even though you tried making reservations weeks before the cruise. My husband wanted a cheeseburger with cheddar cheese instead of American and they told him American and cheddar are the same - they only have one cheese. So which one is it??! No one at the bar during the ...

Not the Best Cruise Experience

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Norwegian Gem

The staff were friendly and helpful. For the most part, waiters were attentive, but the food left a lot to be desired. I’m not a picky eater, but I had trouble finding one entree that appealed to me each evening in the main dining room. The best dessert was usually the sherbet or ice cream choice. I got food poisoning the third day of the cruise as did another guest I talked to. Since the food is ...

The ship was way too big. The pool way too small for all the people. I am a big guy 6’8” 320 so water slides, go carts are out of the question. The drink package was good. Smoke cigars so the cigar lounge was very nice. Could have had a better cigars for sale. Room attendants were very friendly. The brew house is one of my favorites. Getting off the ship was not handled well. The haven takes up a ...

We booked the NCL Encore for our 20th anniversary with a group of 10 people. I have cruised before with Celebrity, but this was the first-time cruising for the majority of our group and my first time on Norwegian. Things that we liked: - Embarkment and Dis-embarkments were flawless - quick and easy - Room was a good size with a lot of storage - Balcony was a good size and allowed you ...
