Norwegian Miami Cruise Reviews

They usually only have one bartender working at each bar. This means long lines all the time! Maybe it's their way of making sure people don't get to drunk? Either way it's frustrating to purchase a drink package and wait 30 minutes anytime you want one. The restaurants are no better. I think they need more staff or better management. We waited over 45 minutes before our appetizer even arrived. ...

We have sailed with Norwegian in the past and enjoyed our cruises. This one was the size ship we prefer ( medium or smaller) with a nice itinerary and a good length for us. We decided to get a club balcony suite so we could spend more time outdoors and watch the activity in port. Also we got a few extra perks for booking it. The cabin and our cabin steward’s service were excellent. Most of the ...

We chose this cruise because we got a significant discount due to casino play. The ship is beautiful; the staff is professional, attentive, and friendly. But there's not much to do, and there's an upcharge for much of the entertainment. Our first sticker-shock was when we did a wine and cheese pairing. We got a 40% discount because we paid to upgrade our drink package to premium. When the check ...

We booked NCL for the first time and will probably not go with them again. Pros: The food at the buffet was very good, great diversity and service was good. We never ate in the dining room because the buffet offered so much. The Choir of Man, showing in the theatre was excellent. You had to have a reservation but it was free. Mediocre: The drink package was "included" but there ...

This was my 22d cruise since 2016, with 13 cruises on Carnival, three on Royal, three on MSC, and two prior cruises on the NCL Getaway in ’16 and ’18. I usually book through one of the large singles cruises companies and share a room. On this cruise my girlfriend had also booked a room (long story). Overall, I was excited to go on the Encore in spite of not-so-warm feelings from the Getaway, ...

Let’s start by highlighting the positives…hmmm. Well most of the crew was pleasant. The attendants at the buffets were great. Food was extremely mediocre. We ate at the buffet because of the kids. The room was nice. My blanket was dirty so I took it off the bed and requested a new one. Most dishes were bland and overcooked. Fish tasted like cardboard, chicken was dry and very little flavor. Very ...

I booked this cruise because of the dates which covered Christmas and New Years 2023 into 2024, I found out this was a big mistake. Solo traveler's and a female, i felt like a second class citizen, I must have been invisible and when I spoke up to be heard or repeated what i would like even with the word please, i was even ignored and walked away from. This ship must have hired all new people for ...

I chose this cruise because it it was recommended by my travel agent. Several crew members kept talking negatively about Carnival Cruise Lines, however, my best times were on the Carnival cruise Lines. POSITIVES: The ship overall was very clean with many restrooms strategically placed, and pristine. Our cabin stewart, Ronnie was excellent, very accommodating and proficient. ...

The ship itself is well run by captain and crew. One can feel confident that they are safe, that the crew are competent. The service staff below management level are mostly genuine, friendly and helpful. Stunningly, the upper level staff, particularly the “customer service” staff were almost uniformly arrogant, condescending and officious. The internet manager in particular was a complete jerk. If ...

Don’t pay around $5,000 for tickets on this ship if you’re looking for an all inclusive cruise experience. Everything was extra, from the go karts they have on top of the ship, putt putt and even the dart boards needed EXTRA PAYMENT and reservations the day before. Clear sign Norwegian is taking whatever they can get after their poor Covid experience. Food was 24/7 but that’s if you knew what ...
