Norwegian Southern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

The overall experience is ehhh. Carnival is better, Holland is better, genuinely any other cruise line besides Margaritaville is better. The food on Norwegian is pretty bad unless you go to a restaurant (that you pay extra at), the boat is insanely crowded, the excursions always leave late because the masses don’t show up on time, and the customer service is subpar. If you want to do anything ...

WARNING on priority access. Do not waste the money. No one at the port or on the ship knows where to direct you so you end up in the main boarding line anyway, your “early” time slot is the same as all the other passengers, the onboard spa credit is a scam as you have to spend $500 just to get the $100 and it’s only for certain services, many trips don’t have tendering heavy stops and the ...

I am platinum on my way to Sapphire with NCL. I'm also travel agent. This ship is the worst I have ever been on. If you have mobility issues, and need to use a wheelchair or a scooter and are traveling alone this ship is NOT for you. The bathrooms that are labeled as handicap accessible do not have any automatic door openers. Nor do many of the decks, with the exception of deck 11. Beside the ...

Ths cruise was a 14 day Caribbean cruise that visited a different island every day. The itinerariy was fine, but two major things prevented being able to give a good review, which I always had done before on all of our past cruises. The first was that they should NEVER sell a cruise with three adults in those tiny basic rooms. We could have made do with two people, but three were an ...

Pros: -aesthetically beautiful - Staterooms are spacious Cons: You can really see cost cutting measures in comparison to pre-covid cruising - food quality poor and limited selection in every venue - drinks being substituted for cheap puree. E.g margarita made with an orange puree rather than triple sec or controiu - buffet breakfast closes at 9:30 - buffet breakfast has ...

For background, I am a 29 year old male, ICU nurse from New York. Been on 5 previous cruises with Carnival, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Royal Caribbean. Was accompanied by 3rd grade teacher girlfriend who has cruise experience, and her two parents. It was a 7 day cruise on the Norwegian Viva out of Puerto Rico with six ports of call Positives: Quick and easy on-boarding Spacious ...

Well as a huge fan of the Jade and loyal NCL cruiser I can not argue with a lot of the recent negative reviews. My travel group came with an open mind but we feel very let down by NCL. They have obviously cut back on many things however, there short sighted savings will actually cost them more as loyal customers go elsewhere. The buffet has very little choice with the same dishes repeated many ...

I am a diamond traveler within the NCL system and I was on cruises for about 14 weeks in 2023. I traveled to the Dominican Republic on January 29 to board the NCL Sky to enjoy a 14 day cruise in the Southern Caribbean. The itinerary for this cruise looked fantastic and we were very eager to go. The ports that we have visited so far have been very enjoyable and the crew is very nice. The ...

There is nothing positive about the NCL Viva or the company. We've been on 15 previous cruises with Carnival, Holland America, Princess, Celebrity, and Royal Caribbean. The following are our opinions and experiences on the cruise that departed San Juan, PR on January 21st. This ship's public areas (dining venues, entertainment venues, etc.) are undersized based upon the number of guests it ...

I put this out there in hopes that others will read it and cancel before it is too late. This ship might not be for you. You pay a lot for a cruise and should have a good experience. I have only cruised Royal and Carnival and Viva was an awful experience. I asked for a Pina Colada on the rocks and bartenders looked at me like I was crazy. One gave me a premade canned pina colada and splashed a ...
