The food was cold at every station, even the fine dining. Cold and served raw hamburger. I was quarantined from gastroenteritis complications. Symptoms of hot and cold runny nose soar throat brain fog muscle break down fever loss of appetite cough diarrhea, vomiting. I was so sick the ship hospital cost me 4K. So I paid for something that ship infected me with! I was also treated with disrespect ...

We have cruised over 15 times, the last four ( with in 2 yrs) with NCL. This was disappointment from the time we entered the ship. We always upgrade to a suite and have been very pleased. This is the first time I used a NCL representative to book and I feel he talked us into the worse suite on the ship. It has a water sealing door instead of an extended window. It was in front of the ship so ...

We have sailed multiple times on Norwegian and also on other cruise lines. Most of the usual items on this cruise were fine. Housekeeping and dining room staff were lovely, polite, accommodating and efficient. It was a good itinerary with a nice balance off sea days and ports. The Dawn, while in need of a refurbishment, was clean and had the right amenities. The entertainment, especially the ...

Just got back from a 5 day cruise. I have to say I will never go with this cruise line again. The food was absolutely horrible and service was beyond bad. We had a "penthouse" if you want to call it this that was to have a butler. When we got to our room we noticed we needed converters for our phones and computers. No where on the site does it say we needed to bring converters. There was 1 ...

I was so excited about this cruise! Let's start with what went well: +smooth embarkation process, very fast +large and cozy cabin +fun excursions +the singing shows were pretty good! The disasters -The air in the cabin was so dry that I would wake up with my nose bleeding every morning and I eventually got terribly sick. I asked multiple times to borrow/rent/buy a humidifying ...

Biggest let down and worst cruise I have ever taken

Norwegian has been recommended to my wife and I over and over by family and friends. We have previously traveled on Carnival (4 cruises), Royal Caribbean (10 cruises) and Disney (2 cruises). Traveling on this Norwegian ship was the worst mistake we have ever made, in terms of traveling. Check-in at the port was good. We are from Tampa so we go out of this port quite a bit. Unfortunately our issues ...

The transfer getting to the cruise took an hour. The transfer workers just yelled at you. Plus, they kept us locked on the bus for 10 minutes until they took the suitcases off the bus. Then, the lady at the front office could not fix my key card. She told me I had 5 minutes to make it to my room, so security could fix the key card. Well, I sat on the floor outside my room for 30 minutes until ...

Poor quality of food and overcharge for everything

Was leaving from Tampa this was one of the worst cruises we have on. The staff at the desk was rude and did not explain the charges the cruise director was hard to understand and when we could understand her the information was not correct. The food was of poor quality the chicken and fish was always overcooked and dry. We have been on other ships and river cruisers where we enjoyed eating a meal ...

Worst Cruise Of My Life Avoid NCL

I have been cruising for 40 years. My very fist cruise was on NCL Starward in 1984. This was a theme cruise which it why I chose it. The Summer Palace was beautiful, the dining room staff was very pleasant, but the food. OMG! Terrible is an understatement for the worst dining room food I have ever experienced. I am amazed at how bad it was! The menu never changed, & the menu descriptions did not ...

On March 6, 2019, my husband, Bill and I cruised on the NCL Pearl out of Tampa, FL. Joining us on the cruise was my brother-in-law and his new wife. This was to have been a time for the four of us to relax and to enjoy each other’s company, eat good food and enjoy good entertainment. We were excited to get away! Unfortunately this turned out to be the worst vacation experience of our lives. ...
