Mixed experience

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Norwegian Star

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

While we had a wonderful time and felt safe on board, there were a number of areas the cruise line missed the mark: 1. We paid for an upgraded dinner at Teppenyaki restaurant. Of the four people in our party, there was a problem with the meals. Raw chicken was served and two people were served things they repeatedly stated they were allergic to. We even booked it for the first sitting so the ...

I’ve cruised with NCL several times in the past, most often with Celebrity so I have some recent experience to base my review. Overall, Cebebrity outperforms NCL. The cruise was good overall but a few details left us disappointed. Most foremost was the food. It just fell flat, both in the dining room and buffet. Normally we don’t choose premium dining because we are fairly satisfied with the ...

Panama Canal and south America

We chose this cruise because of the canal transit and the South American itinerary. A week or so out there was a change to the itinerary, dropping the first stop in Colombia (Santa Marta), changing Panama City to Colón, and adding an extra day in Lima. I haven't seen an explanation for the change, and while the extra day in Lima instead of Santa Marta was a decent trade, Colón for Panama City ...

The crew were excellent. Most of the entertainment in the theatre were your dancers and singers Most cruise lines are reducing the levels of service and amenities provided. NCL has taken this to the extreme. There are no toiletries; no bath gowns; no chocolate on the pillow at turn-down. In fact they have no turn-down service at all. Dirty towels remain on the floor until the next day (often the ...

This was the second time we'd sailed on the Norwegian Sun but we enjoyed the first time more and noticed some subtle changes which had made the cruise more expensive. We like the ship because it is smaller with 2,000 guests. The State Rooms, the Dining, the Bars and the Entertainment were all excellent. The Service in some departments however left plenty of room to improve particularly around ...

Chaotical disembark ports ever, but splendorous Antartica sailing

We had a wonderful sailing by the Antartic (Paradise Bay/ Elephant Island) The weather was amazing and we could spot lots of Fauna, ranging from penguins at a distance from many many whales Humpback and Blue really, really close. This two days were undoubtedly the highligt of an itinerary that has too many days on sea in a crowded boat that with bad weather turns on a overcrowded Garden café, ...

Too many days at sea

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We have been on six continents and I decided I needed to see the 7th so we decided to go to Antarctica. We are 70 and 75 so really too old to layer up, hop on a Zodiac and trudge across ice and snow to see a shack. I would have done it 20 years ago, but now, just seeing it was enough. We traveled on NCL during the pandemic and thoroughly enjoyed our voyages. We are independent travelers but ...

Our South American Cruise was totally different from other cruises we’ve been on. Learned so much about SA

We chose this cruise to visit and learn about a part of world we’ve never been to. In this aspect, the cruise fulfilled our expectations. We were fortunate in that weather co operated with us and our trip around Cape was quite smooth and we only missed one port due to stormy weather…Puerto Madyrn Our concerns about cruise are with NCL…we knew we had many sea days and we had 1 added but in ...

This cruise was part of a tour thru Holiday Vacations. Having taken several cruises with NCL pre-Covid, we were ready to have an amazing experience similar to those in the past. What a disappointment. We purchased the Free at Sea package which included Wi-Fi. At best, the Wi-Fi worked 25% of the time. In order to use the NCL app, which they promote heavily, you needed Wi-Fi. So ...
