14-n-cruise from New-York to New Orleans. Loved the itinerary and the value for money. Got a big deal including drink package, 3 specialty restaurants, 300 minutes internet and gratuities. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was tasty, but unspectacular. Would I sail NCL again? No!!! In many aspects we had the impression that the ship was not ableto handle the number of guests it was ...

Overall the service was good. The bartenders were amazing. The room Stewart are ok and know that they only service your room once per day. Most waiters were excellent but definitely luck of the draw. The food served in Buffett as well as dining rooms were barely warm. We ate in dining rooms for breakfast and dinners and food was only hot once. We did visit Cagney Steak and the porterhouse was ...

14 of us embarked on a Thanksgiving Week cruise to celebrate my mom's 85th birthday. We were 7 adults and 7 kids (ages 6-13). Overall it was a fun week, due mostly to the ports of call. The ship is lovely but management issues unfortunately took away from much of the enjoyment. Pre-Cruise and Embarkation We flew into Ft. Lauderdale late Friday evening and stayed at Cambria Hotel Dania Beach. ...

We have sailed NCL for about 16 years reaching Latitudes (the frequent sailing program) level Sapphire across 10 cruises. Over that time, we have sailed on 8 different ships (Pride of Hawaii, Pearl, Jewel, Gem, Getaway, Bliss, Encore, and Joy). Ever since our second cruise, we have opted for rooms in the Haven. In that time, the common areas of the ship (including, and perhaps especially, the ...

We thought this would be a great cruise with lots to do. The comments about all sorts of extra charges are true. Food was just average where steak was quite tough and limited desserts. Selection was very similar every day. Probably the biggest complaint is the elevators. I think we spent more time waiting for an elevator than anything else we did. They ended the contract for Footloose before we ...

Allergy Accommodations Need Work and Non-Transparent Service Charges

I chose Norwegian, as I had heard great things about their food allergy accommodations. As someone with a severe food allergy to soy, these accommodations were key in ensuring I had a safe and enjoyable vacation. While I do see an effort in this area, in that every restaurant knows you have an allergy the second they scan your card into the restaurant and all of the waiters ask about it, the ...

We booked the Haven experience on the NCL Joy over eight months ago. We are Platinum on NCL and have sailed on most of their ships (some twice) and had mostly positive experiences. Previously we had sailed on MSC Yacht Club (twice) and just loved it. I presumed that NCL’s Haven would be the same although it is a lot more expensive now and we knew we could not afford it again. We arranged ...

We have sailed with NCL before, including a wonderfull Alaska Cruise on the Pearl. The Sky looks good from the aesthetic stand point, and eventhough is an older ship, the sice and public spaces were to our liking. The boarding process in Miami was spotless, and perhaps the best of all of our sailings. It is noticeable that NCL has donde a great job with the personel at their terminal, including ...

We were invited to a wedding aboard this cruiseline. I had heard great things about Norwegian, and had only been on a Carnival Cruiseline before this one. Perhaps I had set my expectations too high, or perhaps I was simply experiencing the aftermath of Covid. Overall, we had a great and very relaxing experience, but these are a couple of my observations that would’ve greatly improved our ...

We chose this cruise primarily for the dates - because it lined up with my family's spring break. Here are a few thoughts as I reflect on our experience. Highlights: • The staff of NCL Joy were beyond fantastic. So accommodating and friendly. I can't count the number of crew that stopped to talk to our 3 year old and make her trip special. I also appreciate that without asking, they bring ...
