The food was the worst on any crusie we have ever taken, i.e. Eggs Benedict in Main dining room were hard bolied with no canadian bacon on bread and very little hollandase, plus ti took an hour to be served. Pancakes in the Garden cafe were stone cold, and the scrambled eggs looked like soup. The French Onion soup was slightly colored water with cheese you could not cut or bite, just awful. Now ...
price was good. I had never been to Quebec and was excited to go there. The Ship is beautiful and just the right size for me. The cabin was the smallest i have ever had. There was not even a chair to sit on.
The dining room service was very slow. We could not count on any meal taking less than 1 and 1/2 hours. Clearly not enough staff to deal with the number of people. The servers were working ...
We chose this cruise because October was a good time for us to take vacation and we liked the itinerary. It was going to be easy to depart from NYC and we enjoy cool versus warm weather so Canada in the Fall seemed like a great option. This is only our third cruise. Our last one was on Oceania Regatta to Alaska and it was *excellent*. We decided to try a larger ship this time but have decided ...
This cruise was on my husband's Bucket List. Retired, we have been traveling across the United States for many months when we noticed this cruise. Since we didn't have to pay for airfare, we decided to mark another item off the Bucket List.
We took the train from Upstate New York the day before and arrived at Grand Central around 1pm. Spent some time at 911 Memorial and took in a show. ...
Chose this cruise to visit Quebec and see the fall foliage. They had to cut the time down in each port because we could not sail faster than 10 knots in the St Lawrence due to Whale migration. This was our 6th cruise with NCL and our last. 27 cruises total on all different lines. So I have some experience, and this was one the cheapest quality cruises we have ever been on. I have never complained ...
Chose for the itinerary. Disappointed on the compression of the times spent in each port. Problem with the gangway in one of the ports also cut down the time in that port. The menu in the main dining room was underwhelming. The specialty restaurants were excellent. The time it took in the restaurants was a little long, but we were in no hurry so didn't bother us. The embarkation line was the ...
First the good. The breakfast buffet was the best I've ever encountered on any cruise line. All food was hot, not just lukewarm. Eggs Benedict was made to order, not left on the buffet line with congealed hollandaise sauce over cold eggs. Embarkation and disembarkation were smooth and quick. Other than a long delay in Quebec when the gangplank malfunctioned, port disembarkations were ...
Once onboard dining reservations are all sold out. Wait times typically 45 minutes or more. Very sliw MDR service. 2 hours for dinner. Seemed understaffed. Daily menue repeated many times during cruise. Food was good, but poor variety. NCL makes me appreciate other cruise line early/LATE ASSIGNED DINING.
Staterooms and steward service very good. Cruise director accent difficult to ...
We went on this cruise because it offers round trip from New York to Quebec City. We had inside cabin on the deck 9 (9505) which is quite and nice. The room was always cleaned up very quickly. There are plenty space for two people. Entertainment was good while dinging is the worst part of our trip. We had specialty dining package but reservation line was a mile long everyday and the only ...
We enjoyed this cruise ship but the staff were not friendly. We were not greeted when we came on the ship and it appeared that the staff could care less about if we were there. The first four days we did not meet one smiling crew member. They were all just matter of fact and seemed like they could care less if you were on the ship or not. The speciality resturants were booked thu out the ...
