We choose this cruise to visit as many places possible in Greece. Having the opportunity to visit, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro and Turkey were a bonus for us. The ship , the entertainments, the food, the atmosphere and the staff were amazing !. We like NCL and we will highly recommend this cruise line to anyone that would like to have options and relax in a good environment. Everything ...

I choose this cruise for the ports and price. The airport transfer from Civitavecchia-Rome to the bus was chaos. Individuals were checked in and then it took an hour before you were led to the bus. All the time airport officials were constantly redirecting where you should go, after the two ladies checked you in for arrival. Once on the boat, we were told we needed an E-Visa for Turkey. This ...

NCL is really cutting back

Itinerary and ports. We choose this cruise based on Itinerary. But in the weeks leading up to the cruise, NCL republished the time of the port stops, and I think all but the stops in Turkey had the time reduced in port. Which made coordinating any non-NCL tours more difficult, and even if you were on NCL cruises, the tours had to be rushed so badly it was more like a bus ride with extremely ...

The itinerary was great starting Rome and including Taormina Sicily, Rhodes, Egypt and Turkey. Unfortunately Israel was missed due to the tragic conflict at time of cruise. The ship doesn't have the latest amusements or slides so not great for children and the passengers were generally older than usual on this itinerary. The cabin we had was small with an obstructed lifeboat view on deck 8. We ...

Epic fail!

We chose this ship and cruise line because we cruised 4 years ago on this ship and really enjoyed it. This time, however, was a completely different experience. We had been delayed getting to Venice to meet the ship because of Air Traffic Control glitch that had affected the UK but we had booked through NCL so they got us alternative flights the next day to meet the ship in Dubrovnik. We were ...

I've mostly sailed in Mexico and Western Caribbean. I've always wanted to do the Western Mediterranean. I found this big ship beautiful and well maintained. Everything was polished and clean. The service was great as always in the restaurants, room service and attendant. We had a balcony room which was slightly smaller than the NCL cruiseships, but the balcony was generous. The twin beds really ...

Cheap for a reason

When booking our honeymoon we thought that the price of NCL outweighed the benefits of another more expensive cruise. In hindsight, they are cheap for a reason. The cruise started rough because of some storms which left people waiting in lines for up to 10 hours before boarding the ship. We were lucky and only waited 4 hours after our original check in time. Once on the ship we found out our ...

Lackluster experience on 11 day Gem Cruise

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

I chose this cruise primarily because of the itinerary stopping in Spain and Portugal. It was our first cruise on Norwegian. We were immediately struck with how crowded the buffet area was and lack of any seating. We never did find seating in the buffet area the entire 11 day trip. We sat in the Italian specialty restaurant or out by the pool. We tried sit down breakfasts several mornings and the ...

It was my first time in Norvegian company. I had already made many cruises with most of other companies (such as costa; royal carebean, celebrity, princes etc). This was the one which I didnot like much. Ship was ok. It was renovated in a good condition. has 4,5 stars. I always get balcony stateroom (since I am a little claustrophobic). This was normal BA cathegory but ıt was the smallest one I ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 40s

We were looking for our first Med Cruise and to possibly branch out to a different cruise line. We settled on the opportunity to take the maiden cruise of a brand new ship, the Norwegian Viva, as it happened to have an ideal itinerary for us as it traveled from Venice (Trieste) to Lisbon. From the moment we stepped on the ship and were greeted with all the new novelties and layout along with the ...
