Norwegian New York (Manhattan) Cruise Reviews

I have gold status with NCL and have always enjoyed sailing from NYC. This has been my third cruise since the covid shutdown but first NCL since shutdown. Premium Plus Beverage Package Decided to upgrade to take advantage of premium alcohol. What they don't tell you is that availability is limited and only at certain bars. Just because your package includes French Champagne that does not ...

Went on Joy to Norfolk & Bermuda & really enjoyed it. It was my 8th cruise but first one in 7 years. I took my 3 kids, 21, 21, 20 & they really enjoyed it as well. Had previously cruised NCL & was disappointed. Much different experience this time. Didn’t care for food previously, food was great this time. Ate in dining rooms 6 nights & 1 night at Cagney. Food in DR was really good & great at ...

We did this cruise because we wanted to try a new ship and a new location. We stayed at the Hampton Inn in New Jersey for the park and sail. It was a short ride to the pier. The process to board the ship was very easy. Of course, it helped that we were in the Haven. The room was fine but we really hated the tub/shower combo. We had to get a step stool to get into the shower. In the end, my wife ...

We chose this cruise because we have never been to Bermuda and wanted to see it. We chose NCL Joy because we love cruising NCL and, once again, they did not disappoint. We enjoyed a midship balcony cabin in perfect Bermuda weather. Actually, our first port of call was Norfolk, VA. We did a self guided walking tour around the town and we enjoyed our time in this friendly, clean, quiet ...

Long time cruiser, first time reviewer here. My mom is a frequent writer on this site -- let's just say she can use a bit of polish (meant lovingly -- especially if she's reading this). For context, I'm a 24 year old girl and I went on this cruise with my two parents. I see mainly older people leave reviews and I want to offer a fresh perspective. I hope to instill some excitement in the ...

EMBARKATION NYC: This will require a lot of patience on the part of the passenger. If you have any leg, hip, or back problems it can become a nightmare. First of all we signed up for the 9:00-9:30 arrival time. This is a misnomer. They did not even begin security check in until 9:30 or later. We arrived at 8:50 and waited in an already decent size line of people until they opened up ...

The reason for my low rating is because : 1. On the day we decided to go to Horseshoe bay they didn't think it necessary to tell us that the beach was CLOSED, due to the Tide and the Portuguese man of War in the water. They cancelled the excursion but didn't think it necessary to let the rest of the passengers know so I wasted $100 in cab fare going back and forth. In addition even if I wanted ...

I am a loyal Norwegian cruiser and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings shareholder. I've enjoyed vacations on 4 of their ships before this one. I love the Breakaway/Breakaway+ class of ships. This was my first cruise back since the pandemic. I need to start by stating that the crew have been marvelous. The room: I booked a Club Balcony Minisuite as a way to celebrate my return to cruising. I ...

I had originally booked this in 2019 on the Escape but we all knew how that went. Tried again for the Joy in 2021 but I guess that the 3rd time was a charm. We ended up switching our cabin to a two bedroom/two bath with a living room interior cabin. I didn’t miss the balcony at all. There were more closets, cabinets and room then you could imagine! Our steward Allan was very kind & efficient. He ...

I chose Norwegian Joy because of the itinerary to Bermuda which was my first time visiting there. Bermudas beaches are the clearest most beautiful beaches I've experienced. Great for snorkeling and water activities. I will definitely come back. I did several excursions with the cruise since it was my first time there. Next time I will explore on my own. We did the Caves and Waves excursion which ...
