I was nervous that the Norwegian Spirit wouldn’t be as nice an experience as Celebrity’s Equinox but it actually exceeded my expectations. Wonderful staff and service. Excellent food. Lots of fun entertainment and activities offered. Great basic drink package that included everything from martinis to Irish coffee, pina coladas and Coronas. The ship was smaller than the Equinox but nicely updated ...

This was our honeymoon cruise. Neither of us had been to Australia or New Zealand and we thought this would be a great opportunity to see that side of the world. FOOD: - We loved love loved Onda. The food was superb and the service was just top notch. Cagneys was good but the service was just so so. Le Bistro was not worth it! It was very hot inside, the service was lacking and the food was ...

This is our fifth NCL cruise. We keep coming back because the relaxed experience on the ship and flexible dining suit us. The itinerary from Auckland, New Zealand to Syndey, Australia was what drew us to this cruise. The ship only had 1,600 passengers (double occupancy is 2,050), so the Garden Cafe and Stardust Theater were rarely busy/filled. Note, though it was school holidays here, because ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

We chose Norwegian Spirit for the itinerary since we are huge fans of LOTR and The Hobbit movies. Taking advantage of a special fare sale that included airfare meant we could spend more time and see more than on a land tour. This was our very first cruise on any line. As a party of 4 with 2 older teens we ended up booking two rooms so everyone had enough space. I can’t say I would ever do that ...

We went on a group holiday & boarded this ship in Auckland, New Zealand. Just the right size of ship for me as no sense of direction, so did not take me to long to sort of get my bearings. Great meals, although I think they need a lesson in cooking broccoli. There is al dente & there is al dente (just seen a pan of hot water & not dipped it’s head in it). Our room was 11*** & our friends ...

This is our 3rd time on a cruiseship, 1st time on this one. The waiters and bar staff were amazing, got on better with them than the passengers. Food was good, Cabin was ok, we asked for an Oceanview and got a porthole, a big deal breaker for me was no access to do laundry or ironing, you had to pay to have your laundry done and was very expensive especially being from NZ and everything was in ...

We chose this ship because we had cruised on her out of Barcelona to the Canary Islands and truly enjoyed that experience. This was a totally different story. The make-over of the ship was done very well and they made some wonderful changes. The addition of Onda by Scarpetta was a winner. We went there 4 times. We also went to Cagley's 2 times (one good, one bad) and to the Bistro. We found ...

Australia, New Zealand is why we chose this cruise. We were not disappointed by the ports although due to weather we had to MISS 2 PORTS!! I was so excited to sail on Norwegian as their reputation was that they were above a lot of the cruise lines that are in the same class/cost. We had always cruised Carnival. The good: The ports! The ship was completely renovated and clean. Really ...
