We had been cruising with Carnival and wanted to try a different line thinking higher price = better experience. The ship was smaller than I expected and that is on me, I should have read the reviews before booking. The complimentary food was not as good as Carnival but the specialty dining was pretty good, just pricey. The free drinks were amazing of course, but you better get them before ...
This was my first cruise. My wife booked this to celebrate our 35th anniversary. I was expecting an upscale experience from Norwegian compared to the lower cost lines.
Our first experience was a thirty minute wait to get a drink. I assumed that this was early crowds just arriving but the wait times didn't really get much better. We spent some time in the pool area but left because the sound ...
The food was horrible, service was not great, front desk was no help at all. The boat was rocking more than any boat I ever been on the first and last night. When I went to the front desk in the middle of the night to get water because my girlfriend was throwing up from all the rocking they sent me to the back of the ship. Not to mention water isn't included on your all you can drink package, it ...
I just got back from my first NCL cruise today and I definitely didn't want to wait to write this.
Let me start with the pros:
The ship is very clean, and it is nice.
The wait and cleaning staff are nice and knowledgeable.
Okay now the cons:
1. Our itinerary got changed because of the hurricane damaging one of the ports we were visiting. I know this is not NCL's fault, but the way ...
Overall the cruise was a huge failure. DON'T STAY IN AFT FACING ROOMS. THE SHIPS ENGINE FUMES RAIN DOWN ON THE BALCONY. CANCER CAUSING FUMES AND SOOT FEEL IN MY COFFEE AND I DRANK IT. The staff is clearly aware of the problem and said they usually clean it at the end of the trip. They were great and said this time they would clean it daily but said that's not normally what they are told to ...
We chose this cruise to take my 85 yr. old father-in-law to Key West, someplace he has always wanted to visit. Key West was great. Our time on board the ship not so much.
The main dining room dinner food was underwhelming. The dinner service likewise. Ate in the steakhouse and it was decent. Still something to be desired from the waiter. The French restaurant was the best meal and ...
We looked forward to our family vacation on a four-day cruise for my wife, myself and our two teenage daughters. Unfortunately, our first experience on Norwegian Cruise Lines was a disaster and will be our last with this cruise line. My advice to readers is look elsewhere for a cruise, because Norwegian Cruise Lines has fundamental and systemic problems, and the employees just don’t care.
Our ...
The ship had very little entertainment. The food was terrible, it's like they serve terrible food in the hope that you will have to spend money in the specialty restaurants. We booked 4 excursions and 2 were cancelled and all other excursions were booked so we were just out of luck. Staff was rude and was not interested in making the cruise even remotely enjoyable. Biggest waste of money ever, ...
we were in key west i was not feeling good so my wife called the doctor for tylenol the next thing i knew i was on my way to doctors office they told me i was having a heart attack and need to go to hospital the emt came and tried to tell them i was not having a heart attack an i did not need to go to the hospital. the doctor said i needed to leave the ship. they made us pack and get off at 8:30 ...
The service any of the bars to get a drink was horrible. From the time we got on the ship until the day we left, it took forever to get a drink. Our first night in formal dining room...it took 4 of us, 2 hours and 15 minutes to complete our dinner. We decided to try the formal dining room again for breakfast and from the time we were seated until the time we got our food it was 50 minutes. Food ...
