The food was below the past high standards of NCL.

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We enjoyed our cruise and overall had a good time. The itinerary was great, the crew friendly and helpful, the activities were diversified. The ship was sold out and very crowded at times, especially the pool and early dining times. Without a reservation the waiting time to enter any Main Dining Room before 8 pm was at least 30 min. Lines to enter MDR would form long before opening time. Once, ...

Understaffed and limited menu

I have sailed Norwegian several times and and enjoyed our trips. We found that the ship was understaffed in the dining room, and at the bars. The ship was full and it does not appear NCL planned for the volume of people. I rarely saw any any bar servers. The bartenders were often overwhelmed in the atrium. The dining room was slow for every meal. The food was hit or miss with some excellent ...

sailed on 1/14/2024 out of port canaveral. This was my first cruise by myself. My friends normally make the cruise plans and tell me what to book. I just booked one of the cheapest cruises within my time frame and went this year alone. As many reviews have noted, it was at capacity. This was the longest lines I have waited in on any cruise before to get drinks at a bar. You expect it to get ...

We took the Norwegian Escape on a one week Caribbean cruise with family members and had mixed success. First the positives : The onboard entertainment was exceptional, the staff were very friendly and very helpful, the meals were tasty with a lot of variety to choose from and the specialty restaurants were all excellent. Now the negatives that we feel we need to share : - don’t book your ...

while we knew that the ship was over booked and that there were many more children on board than usual, we were ok with it at first. Getting on board was a good experience as we are Platnium members with NCL. once onboard, we started running into the problems, parents letting their kids run lose while they sat at the bars, we were next to one group who were laughing wondering what all their kids ...

We were sailing for our first time with NCL. Saw great pics on the PRIMA so decided to give it a shot. We sailed multiple times with Royal Caribbean and absolutely loved it. The Good: great looking ship. Aesthetically very pleasing, clean, nice staterooms (balcony 10th floor for us). People complain about the layout of this new class of ship but we didn’t mind it. Smaller, easier to get around ...

Not up to par!

The service was definitely lacking on this ship. The adult pool area had one or two waiters that would come around every several hours to take a drink order. Most of the time if you wanted a drink, you had to go wait in a long line to get one. They were very slow to pick up the empty glasses. The big screen in that area played repeat soccer for seven days straight, and the speakers were not ...

Not the best Cruise - Disappointed

This was my first Norwegian cruise. We have taken 10 Carnival cruises, 1 Princess, 1 MSC and 1 Disney. So, I am familiar with cruises. It was me, my husband and our two teens (12 and 15) We were expecting this to be nice, so maybe that is why I was so disappointed. And, it wasn't just one of the items I am pointing out- it was just a combination of everything that really disappointed me ...

I read the reviews and took a chance as some folks just like to complain. Learned my lesson. This is a pretty ship and most of the crew were very good. the only sign of age I saw was rust on our balcony. Everything was kept clean. We LOVED the Beatles show. These are the reasons we would never go back on this ship. I should note that the ship was at capacity and to be fair, some things may ...

Pre-Christmas Family Cruise. My wife and I are in our 50's, 3 adult children and a fiance' in their 20s. Our family has always enjoyed cruising. RCCL was our favorite line when the kids were young, NCL has been our favorite in recent years. (although the two of us loved Celebrity on a recent cruise without kids) Overall, our recent cruise accomplished exactly what we were looking for.....a week ...
