Long lines, slow service and a smelly bathroom

.We have been on more than 20 cruises with Carnival and Royal and decided to “up our game” to NCL We went with the all inclusive trip which included air, hotel and transfers. Here is a 5 point summary of our experience with NCL. 1-Very long and slow lines, between waiting on our shuttle to the port at 10:30 am to actually getting in our room was 6 hours, 4 of which were waiting in some ...

What an amazing disappointment! After going on the Escape in April of 2022 we thought the Bliss would be even better. Were we wrong! The ship was clean, staff was kind when you could find them, but overall it was ok. This was the second cruise in a row that a port was cancelled, Costa Mia due to winds, which I agreed with. But it would have been nice to get some type of compensation or at least ...

My wife got a "free" cruise promotionn through the casino. It cost $3000. The "Free at Sea" promotion is a bad joke. We paid an extra $400 to use their airline reservations from Detroit to Miami. What we got was a Southwest flight with a 3 hour layover in Chicago, that eventually got us to Fort Lauderdale (and a need to get a $25/person transfer), and a return Delta flight that leaves from Fort ...

I want to start off by saying that I recognize that this is a stressful time for everyone including and especially for the travel industry. We cruised from March 8 to March 15. On March 8 when we left, COVID19 was a concern but not to the same extent it was by the end of our cruise. That being said, the service on this ship is terrible from day one.This as my first time with NCL, but I have ...

First off, I did not sail in 2022, but cruise critic will not let me select an earlier date. I sailed on March 1st, 2020. Now the title makes more sense? As we all know, at this point in history, covid-19 was in the news, but at this point, not wide spread in the United States, thanks to our wonderful politicians. The trip was very close to being postponed or cancelled all together, but ...

I have never complained about NCL before as it has always been my favorite cruise line. After this cruise forget it. There were many people with the same complaints too. The svc was absolutely the worst that I have ever experienced on any of my cruises. A bartender wasn't acknowledging people in one of the bars and when my adult son said he was waiting 15 min her response "so has everyone else and ...

I was extremely disappointed with my cruise. It was my first with my seven year old niece and my 20th overall. Your preferences may be different than mine and that's ok. I will talk about both the good and the bad to help others make an informed decision. Our fun begins on Embarkation Day! We had to wait in line for 2 and a half hours. Everything went well on the governmental side of the ...

I've been on a ton of cruises in my life, but this was my first NCL experience (Feb. 23 out of NYC.) Due to the hype of the Bliss, I had high expectations - perhaps that was my problem, but honestly, shouldn't they be high? Clearly, I was highly disappointed with this cruise experience as a whole, but I want to preface my review by saying, I'm not a complainer, I'm not a "negative Nancy." I've ...

My Norwegian Bliss Rating: 2/5 stars This was our 4th time cruising with Norwegian and I must say, a lot has changed over the years. The Bliss is a beauty, however, the service level definitely needs some improvement. My husband and I arrived at the pier in NYC around 11:30am. Our check in time was scheduled for 1-1:30pm but we figured we’d get there a little early just in case. ...

I love to cruise during presidents week because I am a teacher. Being in the ship with kids does not bother me much. After my 5th attempt I finally made it to the private island but just say it does not compare to RCCL Cocokay at all! Only thing served was some burgers and tiny tacos with soda. Royals private island gives you a FULL lunch and readily accessible drinks. Not one time did I see a ...
