Norwegian Transatlantic Cruise Reviews

Despite my reservations from reading the reviews, I really like the ship though there are some annoying things….especially for the visually impaired: the clues and sounds are too subtle..like identifying which elevator has arrived. For short folks the closet hanging rods are too high to reach & in the cafe the top shelf of displayed items like muffins is so high you can’t see what’s on ...

We’ve just finished a fantastic 11 night transatlantic cruise from Barcelona to New York on the excellent NCL Prima. This is my first review on here, which I felt compelled to write after being concerned about the negative reviews I’d read before boarding. If you are booked on a future cruise on the Prima, please be reassured that it’s a great ship with a friendly helpful crew. This was our ...

Just got back from the transatlantic on board the brand new VIVA. The ship is beautiful. Cabins: The rooms are much bigger than other ships. Plenty of outlets and a real modern feel. The bathrooms are large with great room in the shower. Food: The food options are virtually unlimited. On an 11 day trip it was hard to eat at the same venue. We really enjoyed the Indulge food hall, ...

The experience on this ship was amazing. Everything was geared towards the guest having a good time Entertainment was amazing since it was a transatlantic cruise we didn’t have many port stops but this was well known prior to booking and not a problem. The 2 stops I did get off were very organized and easy to do even without booking excursions The entertainment was very well planned and ...

We took our first transatlantic cruise and had two rooms for a family of seven. We haven’t cruised since before Covid. Based on the reviews I was quite worried. Concerns were all overstated. I am at a loss for all the negative reviews. As far as I can tell, some people just cannot create their own fun. I was worried about overcrowding. Nothing of the sort. Granted, it was a transatlantic ...

We booked a long and fun transatlantic. The ports were on our bucket list (Ibiza, Azores, Madeira) and the timing was right. This is the first NCL megaship and we hoped for a lot of dancing opportunities aboard. A review of available daily programs was mixed. But once aboard it was all good. The hub for us was the Manhattan Room. They have a good sized dance floor and small orchestra each ...

Went on my first transatlantic cruise last year on Island Princess. Loved the stops, hated the ship, and it’s pretty much non-existent entertainment. Knowing that NCL doesn’t skimp on entertainment, decided to give it a try. Happy to report, Breakaway did not disappoint! So much to do on this ship! The musical Six, Burn the Floor, Multi-Instrumentalist, OceanFest, Vocalist, Magician in the main ...

We chose this cruise because of the convenience of embarking from NYC, visiting fantastic European ports and being well within our budget. Crossing the Atlantic was not as rough as we expected because when we crossed in 2015, we had to hold the railings as we walked. Probably because we wore those patches for dizziness no one got seasick in my group. The entertainment on the NCL Breakaway was ...

My friend Jim and I enjoyed the Epic's December Transatlantic voyage from Lisbon to Manhattan. Here are some of my thoughts: The Good: We stayed at a terrific, boutique 22-room hotel in Lisbon called the Sao Vicente Alfama before embarking; Uber worked well to get us around the hilly Alfama neighborhood and to the Port; Our mini-suites(11249 and 11253)were comfortable and our cabin ...

I chose this cruise because I enjoy transatlantic sailings. We embarked at Civitavecchia, visited Livorno, Cannes, Barcelona, Alicante, Malaga, Cadiz, Lisbon, Ponta Delgada and disembarked at my home port, New York City. We had seven fun filled sea days. There were alot of trivia games offered. NCL Escape has great entertainment and dining was also very good. Lobster is offered as an upcharge in ...
