We did a 12 day holiday cruise from NYC to the Caribbean on the Getaway, our second time on this ship. First let me say that we are so very grateful for the folks working over the holidays so we could take a vacation. The good: the Port of NY has the embarkation process down. We registered for an 11 a.m. time, showed up on time and were moved through all lines quickly and smoothly. Once we had ...

we wanted to something different that's why we picked this cruise. Started off bad when norwegian said they don't price match. The food was basic not many new option for a 12 days cruise. The entertainment was boring and the cruise director thought he was a celebrity. Sold out cruise , only open their nightclub Bliss for after party for new year for 4000+ guest. New years party in the cold , no ...

What we liked - 1. Overall Haven experience onboard was good 2. Embarkation/Demarkation was quick and hassle free 3. Priority seating at shows and restaurants 4. Amazing room steward, he was better than our butler What we disliked - 1. Our room "Haven Penthouse Suite" was creaking whenever the ship was rolling. We had to complain to the Haven guest service and they sent ...

This was the 7th cruise for me and the 8th for my wife. This was the first time on Norwegian for either of us. Other cruises have been with Carnival and Royal Caribbean. Port stops included Porta Plata, DR, St. John, Antigua, St. Thomas, USVI, San Juan, PR and the cruise line’s private island, Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas. There were two complete sea days on this nine-day cruise. We booked ...

Me and my wife chose Norwegian for the length of the cruise and the airfare special they offer 2nd person flys for free but this offer was a nightmare we wanted to fly in day before but we were talked out of it and guaranteed to arrive on time Norwegian will get your on the boat no matter what etc etc so we we let them take care of everything well United airline delayed our flight one hour for ...

We were a party of six seniors. We chose the cruise because the timing worked and there was something new for everyone to see as far as ports. The boarding process was easy and efficient. I would say there is no need to board early unless you want to explore the ship. Rooms were not ready for hours after we boarded. The onboard entertainment was good in general. The performers had a lot ...

We are avid cruisers, and usually really appreciate NCL.Unfortunately, this ship andcruise had several issues. The casino is not enclosed, and thus the smoke permeates throughout the ship and the atrium where most of the games and activities are held. The entertainment is held in the strangest venues: dancers in the restaurants, were all we could see, were bobbing heads, instead of the theater, ...

It is said once you go Haven, you can't go back. With that in mind I tried not to judge our experience when we decided to book a Club Balcony Suite. The bathroom was nice but the room itself is cramped and trying to get in and out of the closet is a joke! The cruise ship was probably at capacity and one of the ports was eliminated just prior to sailing. Nothing you can do about that. We have been ...

We chose this cruise because of convenience and vicinity of port of embarkation since Manhattan cruise terminal is very close to our home. The south Caribbean destinations also attracted us. This was my first cruise with Norwegian but 6th overall. However I was only partially satisfied with their services. I will mention both positive and negative experiences. The positive experiences ...

Lower your expectations, adapt to conjestion, waiting, and mediocre quality, and you might have a halfway decent cruise

This was a 12 day Caribbean cruise sailing from NYC. We are fairly seasoned cruisers, with this being our 8th or 9th cruise. We have cruised on Princess a bunch and Norwegian once before. This was the worst cruise experience, with the blame split between staffing shortages, an overcrowded ship with obnoxious and loud passengers, a glaring lowering of quality, and poor strategic space decisions on ...
