We wanted to go through the Panama Canal and this ship went to one of our favorite islands curaçao first of all, we bought a larger balcony cabin. Do not ever upgrade your balcony cabin or wind up above the tavern. Our room and the one next to it are right above the karaoke bar and where the bands play. You do not hear it in the hall but the minute you open the door the sound comes blaring out ...
This is not a pleasant cruise and lacks any class. Passengers are repeatedly asked to make noise so that it appears like they are having fun. (For example, I attended an art auction aboard the ship where the auctioneer asked the participants to literally “yell as loud as they could to win a prize”. Outrageous. My ears were ringing and I was in pain after that.) The food is warm at best - never a ...
We wanted to cruise all the way through the canal. We had an in-depth excursion(7 hours) learning about the history and going through the locks on a ferry. A few days before we arrived at the canal we were told that we would not have that excursion day because we could not dump our waste at the port. We had to go 14 hours out to sea and it would take that time off our itinerary. I am amazed that ...
Our balcony cabin was on Deck 12 towards the aft. Maybe that location explains why we had to endure noticeable vibrations seemingly from the engines all the time. It got so bad at one point (Day 2) that I called Guest Services; they sent a representative to our cabin and confirmed the situation. With apologies and statements to say that the issue would be looked into, that was that. The situation ...
We choose because of the itenery. Ship was very clean & crew very friendly. The food was horrible ! Corn & ham on pizza only 1 example. Entertainment I have seen better at high school level. Pool Entertainment was funeral music. They asked us to buy a cruise pkg of $3k upfront lump sum to guarantee them 12 cruises. NO! there was a port cancelation & the refused refund of the port fee. They ...
Just completed 20 days on the sun from Seattle to Fl. First off we had a penthouse i bedroom rear facing suite on the 10th floor that had a very large deck with two chairs and two loungers with thick and comfortable pads. The room was ok - the shower wad small to fit the 6 foot tub. The living room needed an extra chair and bigger table for eating on but we just bough in a deck chair. The bed was ...
This cruise was very disappointing. Of all my past 18 cruises this was the worst. I had sailed Norwegian twice prior to COVID and it was very good.
We were very disappointed in the lack of service and poor entertainment likely caused by Norwegians cost cutting measures.
Entertainment in the theatre was not enjoyable due to the lack of quality performances, repeated performances, and the ...
The cruise was chosen for destination and length of cruise I wasn’t sure how the 21 day cruise would be seeing I had not been on a ship for this lengthy duration. It was wonderful. I found with the longer cruise I never felt rushed to fit everything in or over schedule my time.
The Breakaway has far more outdoor deck space that can be enjoyed with relaxing furniture. There are outside ...
Embarkation was a nightmare. We waited for quite some time even after having a 10:30 check-in time. We waited until almost 1:00 to get on the ship. Check-in was a long time then getting through the metal detectors was a long time. Other cruise lines seem to process passengers quicker and more efficiently.
We had a Suite cabin on Deck 14. The cabin was great! Lots of room and the cabin was ...
This was an interesting itinerary with a fair number of sea days so I was looking forward to a bigger ship with lots of activities to fill the time. Unfortunately this was an unwelcoming and underwhelming experience. This was my second cruise with NCL and it seems the nickel and dime tactics have just gotten worse since COVID. Nearly everything onboard came with an extra fee, to participate you ...
