Norwegian Spirit Senior Cruises Reviews

My husband and I went on this Alaska Cruise and were so excited about it. It did the basics as far as transporting us from one city to the next to see Alaska best but thats about all it did. We enjoyed Alaska and the towns we stopped at, but the cruise itself was less than average. This cruise isn't for people that like lively environments. 90%% of the passengers were over the age of 60 years old ...

First of all, their website is NOT very user friendly. The customer service is actually pretty bad with helping or answering questions. Our restroom smelled like sewer The entire week. One time our toilet wouldn’t flush for over a half hour. Common toilets smelled like sewer back up also. The shore excursions are way overpriced so we arranged our own. Help desks were not staffed for most of the ...

We didn’t purchase the cruise our children purchased it for my wife and I for our 30th wedding anniversary. So I can’t say why the went with NCL. What I can say is that everything was just perfect. The cabins were clean everyday new towels if you wanted. Every ship employee was very pleasant. From the cruise director Jerry all the way down to the as they called them the washy washy girls at the ...

Premium Dining: Before cruise, at least I couldn't find a way to reserve, prior to the cruise. This feature have a few items that will still have extra charge. First of all website don't have specific instructions about premium dining. At least I was not able to reserve before the cruise departure. If there is a feature, is not clear enough. With premium dining you can have ONLY 1 ...

Disorganized crew. Restaurant maitre'd and serving staff did not know the menus. Bar staff did not know basic cocktail terms (neat, up, dry, etc). Food in MDR and buffet looked good, tasted blah (knives in buffet were so dull every time that I could cut neither an Eggs Benedict English muffin nor a carved slice of roast beef). That said, both the food and the service in the specialty restaurants ...

My sister chose this cruise and invited me to come along with her and her daughter, my neice. (Her hubby, couldn't make it.) I do need to begin with one critique. This was a 7 night cruise and I took another 7 days for an Alaskan land tour that cost more than the cruise. However, when I returned home and reviewed everything I realized that the more expensive land tour did not count toward my ...

I will start with the bad.. -Cabin bathroom are super small. Can't change in them so if you're traveling with anyone but a spouse..good luck -Biergarten was clearly mislabeled because this represents nothing what a beer garden should be. Nothing on tap, and miniscule selection of beer. Nothing here is exclusive to the ship so it makes going up to it pointless unless you want to deal with the ...

I have done many cruises with NCL and the Spirit is my favourite ship. I did a back to back Alaska cruise as a solo traveller. Initially I had a cabin with a porthole. The cabin was on the fourth deck and the cabin itself was fine. It was small but clean and comfortable. The issue I had was that it was so noisy. All night there was noise coming from the sound of the water against the ship. I am ...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! It was always my dream to go to Alaska and see a humpback whale. This cruise did both through its great excursion options. I also was in need of a vacation. I chose to make this a healthy cruise - stretching classes; health classes; and healthy (-ier) food choices. The cruise also offered non-alcoholic beverages. I would like to praise to "Daniel" from South Africa in ...

On this cruise it was just me (57) and my husband (60) on cruise #17, #9 on NCL and we are Platinum. We originally booked OV and bid $105 on a balcony upgrade which came through 30 days before sailing at just above minimum bid. I was pretty confident I’d get it because the ship had so many empty cabins, and prices kept falling so much I could almost upgrade to a balcony for less than the bids! ...
