Norwegian Falling Behind With Its Standards
"Then im not really sure what the reason for the Bermuda stop was, I think they put it down to bad weather however a crew member told me several days before the announcement that the Bermuda stop was also cancelled which means 8 sea days with no ports of call.There was nothing innovative herein they have stripped out so much that the experience with Norwegian has become dull and average, no longer are the free welcome drinks, no chocolates on the pillow, no towel animals, no lobster nights, no famous NCL chocolate buffet and they have even taken away the coffee machines in the cabins...."Read More

My friend Jim and I enjoyed the Epic's December Transatlantic voyage from Lisbon to Manhattan. Here are some of my thoughts:
The Good:
We stayed at a terrific, boutique 22-room hotel in Lisbon called the Sao Vicente Alfama before embarking;
Uber worked well to get us around the hilly Alfama neighborhood and to the Port;
Our mini-suites(11249 and 11253)were comfortable and our cabin ...

I have cruised with Norwegian 10s of times of the years and I get the feeling they are either failing as a cruise line or have become stagnant. There was nothing exciting about this recent voyage, the food menu and the entertainment hasn't changed for years. The ships looking old and tired, many patched up carpets and a lot of rust, its almost like they are not keeping on top of the ...

This was my second NCL cruise, my first being on the Getaway last November. I tended to find myself comparing the full cruise with the one last year, so I might as well do that in this review where relevant.
Embarkation:
This was fine - we flew from Heathrow on an early morning flight, and just about managed to survive the taxi transfer to the cruise terminal by the time embarkation was ...

We were a group of 19 people and wanted to cruise and visit the Azores and Bermuda on our transatlantic cruise. We ended up 9 days at sea with no stops in port. The only compensation we received was a $200 non refundable on ship credit. There was not much for entertainment onboard but the crew were great. This cruise sucked and I would not recommend it to anyone. The food was mediocre but ...

For a trans Atlantic cruise, this itinerary had great ports of call. Started in Barcelona, a great city in itself, and then 6 more ports of call, before we started on our crossing. We then had another 2 ports of call before docking in San Juan! Although we enjoyed ourselves, this was the largest ship we have been on in 13 cruises, and would really have to give thought to a ship this large in ...

We've never been on a transatlantic cruise or to Barcelona, so when we saw this cruise at a good price, we couldn't resist. We spent several days in Barcelona - a great city - before getting on the ship.
I've been on about twenty cruises; this is the first with Norwegian. I don't know whether this is typical of the line, but embarkation was very bad. We arrived about twenty minutes before ...

Trans Atlantic and stops at three island groups to which we had not been as well as departing from Barcelona to which we have not been - we choose cruises based upon itinerary first. We think the ship is too large and prefer smaller ships. The cabins (we had aft-facing balcony) were smaller than normal and cramped. The food was not as good as expected. However, the crew/staff made everything ...

We took a 16-day cruise on the EPIC. An epic mistake. With no desire to impugn the people of Puerto Rico, the fact that what appeared to be ¾ of the passengers seemed to be from there, led to some of our complaints and culture shock. Here are some of the issues we found with this trip:
• Embarkation was delayed hours due to there having been an outbreak of some illness on the prior cruise. ...

This was a repositioning cruise, so it had both a great number of ports, and a reasonable cost.
On the Pro side:
- Ports were Good. Arrecife and Tortola are a bit underwhelming, but otherwise, the ports were very nice. My favorites were Palma and Funchal.
- the ship was nice. Clean, lots of eating space.
- the balcony was great. The weather allowed us to really enjoy it.

As I said, we particularly like cruises with time at sea. Also, I have always wanted to go to Spain, so this was a perfect combination for us. Additionally, The Haven (for us) is worth the additional cost. It's like being on a small ship if you choose to stay in that area, but if you want to enjoy the entertainment that's available on a large ship, you can do that.
