Norwegian Western Caribbean Cruise Reviews

8TH CRUISEWITH NCL, 25TH CRUISE IN TOTAL EMBARKATION: Time scheduled but easy enough went well and took about 1 hour in total DEBARKATION: Not so good, you choose a time and color tag, they called our color, they herded us out of the ship through the main dining room. They actually put chairs up and had us weave through the middle like a maze. very poorly done. took about 1 hour not bad ...

I had never been on a cruise before so I figured let's go with Norwegian. I've been on four prior cruises (Carnival in April/1998, Disney in August/1998, Disney in May/2022, Royal Caribbean in May/2023). These four were definitely very good. Norwegian? Absolutely not. Let's cover the pros before I go into the extensive cons PROS -Beautiful, elegant ship. -Delicious food, albeit there were ...

Overall, I really enjoyed my second cruise with NCL. The main positives were: - Excellent staff in Los Lobos - Syd Normans Pour House - the Rumours show was excellent! - Staff in the Hudson's main dining room were fabulous, never felt rushed and food was excellent - Studio room was very well designed and solo lounge was great - Great ports of call, with excellent excursions ...

It has been a LONG time since we have been on NCL and it will just as long before we return. While the Gem itself is a nicely appointed in the common areas and the main dining room was quite nice, service support outside of the room attendant who was excellent was hit and miss. Some of the wait staff in both the main dining areas and specialty were quite good and others acted like newbies which ...

I just returned from a 7 day voyage on the Norwegian Prima. We did the Western Caribbean itinerary out of Galveston making stops at Costa Maya, Cozumel, Harvest Caye (Belize), and Roatan Bay (Honduras). My overall review/rating for the ship, crew, cabin and entertainment are all A+. NCL has definitely stepped up their game with the Prima class and my wife and I could not have been more ...

Background Information This was our 2nd Norwegian cruise (31st overall for me, 32nd overall for my husband) - we'd previously sailed separately on Norwegian Sky more than 10 years ago. When the Prima class was announced, we decided that this was a ship design very much to our liking. So we thought it was time to give Norwegian another try with a new ship more in keeping with the ships we've ...

We chose this cruise because of the destinations, and had heard good things about Norwegian. I’m a very positive person and always focus on the positives and try to diminish anything negative, however - there was NOTHING good about this cruise ship and their staff. Nothing. First, they allow smoking in so many places on the ship, including the casino on the 7th floor - which pretty much made ...

To get away from winter weather up north. Price and latitude extras were also an incentive. We enjoy sailing on Norwegian. We also liked the BOGO airfare making it a better bargain. It was our first time booking a window cabin after several cruises with a balcony. It was a fine trade for reducing our cost as we just sailed most of these ports in November. The specialty restaurants were ...

First cruise with Norwegian. We’ve taken 3 others on Celebrity & Carnival. There were some good things about the cruise but many others that left us thinking it was just an average experience. Tot seems to depend on what you want. For kids maybe a good ship. If you like many nicer dining experiences maybe a good choice. If you like the loud pool scene they offer that. For us those aren’t ...

I booked this cruise on the spur of the moment during some unusually bitter winter weather here in Colorado which is not my normal way of doing things. We know NCL (we are gold latitude members), and they happened to have a cruise which was still open and reasonably tempting. As always their initial price was a real "come-on", but, of course, NCL will add many, many more charges (including their ...
