Norwegian New York (Manhattan) Cruise Reviews

First of all, our family room veranda and balcony were very small and impractical. The food menu contained no variety and the food itself was below mediocre. The swimming pool for the entire ship was only one very small, uncovered pool for all of the passengers aboard. It was unusable for at least 5 days because of cool/cold temperatures. The public bathroom nearest to the pool was out of order, ...

Cruise assessment: Ship feels cramped, lots of staterooms, poorly laid out for social settings. No quiet areas except in state room. Smoking in open casino at atrium flowed smoke through whole ship Smoking glassed area wasn’t sealed - pool area was smoky Pools: 3 listed on ship description… One was useable, one was the kiddy paddle pool/slide area The third was private for ...

This was my first time on an NCL ship after years of sailing Celebrity and Royal Caribbean, and I was apprehensive - but the price for my solo studio cabin was SO much less than sailing solo on either of those lines that I decided it was worth taking a chance. I obsessively read reviews of Getaway beforehand and was pretty worried about the smoke-in-the-atrium issue and the overcrowding issue, ...

We have been on many cruises with NCL and other lines. By far this is the worst food ever on a cruise ship, poor quality, poorly prepared and the same food over and over again. The public areas of the ship needs to be gutted and redone; many small venues with limited space for patrons. The entertainment was very poor with the exception of the comedian and a singer by the name of ...

Traveling with adult friends age 60’s, enjoyed being with friends no matter what. Food was good , better at specialty dining. Service outstanding from waiter Ryan at Savors, the only one who asked us if we wanted coffee and also cleaned crumbs off the table. He was also smiling pleasant humorous and showed he loved his job. The adult outdoor H2O sunny area with 2 whirlpools and a small wading ...

I look forwards to the dinners on the cruise. Get dressed up. Like going out to a restaurant every night. We loved our cruises on Azamara. This cruise the food was not good. I'd say it compares with a frozen entree from Walmart. The ingredients looked like they were high quality, but it was tasteless, mushy. The only thing I found that was good in the main restaurant was the always ...

Our first cruise, booked 2 wks prior to sailing just to visit Bermuda & see what other places we might one day revisit. Bermuda cancelled day 6. Jumped ship in Tortola to avoid 4.5 days of rough seas & gale force winds back to NYC.Had 2 Br Villa in The Haven. Unfortunately, out of about 200 people on deck 15 & 16 in The Haven, 20% were unruly, screaming, football throwing, hot tub hogging under 10 ...

I just got back from my 10 day cruise aboard the NCL Getaway, sailing from New York City to Puerto Plata, San Juan, St. Thomas and Tortola from February 6-10 2024. The ship was beautiful and had incredible dining, great bars, fantastic entertainment and a best-in-it’s-class staff! I’m seeing some negative reviews out there, but I really don’t understand how those people could possibly see anything ...

Our favorite vacation is a cruise and have found in the past NCL to be to our liking as we have never encountered any issues until recently. Food, if we hadn't purchased the specialty dining packages (four in total) we would have been very disappointed as the food in the general dining restaurants was very bland and lacked any special flare. On board entertainment and service was very ...

I decided to book this cruise after seeing a great deal from Norwegian Cruise Line. I heard really good things about the family-friendly atmosphere on their ships, so I was excited to give it a try. However, my time onboard didn't quite match up to what I had expected. I've never had issues with motion sickness before, but we hit some rough seas on the way from NYC to SC. It was pretty intense ...
