Norwegian Western Caribbean Cruise Reviews

Overall the staff is very professional and well trained. Entertainment leaves much to be desired and venues are far too small. Sid's Pour House seats about 80 on a 3,000+ ship. Unlike on the Getaway and the Breakaway, they have four children perform the vocals instead of actual musicians and three of the kids cannot sing on key. Also the kids believe they are also a comedy act; they are ...

I will start with the positive (yes, that is singular): the staterooms are well-designed with larger-than-average bathrooms and air conditioners that blow cold (if you don't mind them blowing in the smell of sewage and exhaust). The best word to sum up this cruise is crowded. It just feels like there are so many people everywhere. It is very difficult to find seating in the bar areas or ...

For starters we are a traveling family. So we are well travelled. We heard many great things about cruises and was told that as far as cruise lines “Norwegian” is top tier. As first time cruisers we decided to splurge and go with what as been advertised and described as the best. We chose this cruise line because it was supposed to be luxury and family friendly. This was not the case. What we ...

Norwegian Prima January 19-26, 2024 The cabin was clean and standard size. However the bathroom was the very best I’ve ever seen on a ship. Included large sink, ample shower with glass door and adjustable temperature and pressure. Both bath and cabin had more than sufficient storage. Be aware that the Prima has NO: library (all online), card/game room, or computer access. One gentleman ...

They usually only have one bartender working at each bar. This means long lines all the time! Maybe it's their way of making sure people don't get to drunk? Either way it's frustrating to purchase a drink package and wait 30 minutes anytime you want one. The restaurants are no better. I think they need more staff or better management. We waited over 45 minutes before our appetizer even arrived. ...

Chosen for value and step up from Carnival. Mistake! Food quality was poor. Main dining and buffet were decent. Brazilian was bad. Especially for the price. Casino was horrible. Lost $80 in video poker machine and it locked up. Attendant would not show us the ticket and neither would the manager. Cabin staff, wait staff and bartenders were excellent. Ports were good. Definitely go to the zoo in ...

If you like sitting in your cabin, the norwegian epic is the ship for you. There were so many people on the ship, we waited 20-30 for a drink at every bar, for anything other than the buffet there was an hour and a half wait from the moment they opened, we couldn’t get a seat on the pool deck, and couldn’t get into any shows (even showing up 45 minutes early). On sea days, it was almost impossible ...

This was my third cruise and first on Norwegian. I will never book this ship again and will be hesitant to use Norwegian in the future. The Good: Staff was friendly and attentive. The cabin was OK and we had no issues with an inside stateroom. Price was good and included unlimited booze (no top shelf), 150 minutes internet and one dining upgrade. Good bang for the buck. Decent Buffet. ...

I really, really wanted to like the Prima....despite the negative reviews. Unfortunately, most of them were spot-on. I may be slightly biased because of my sheer lack of sleep on board due to our cabin door being broken and unable to seal shut. Meaning I was alarmingly awakened four out of seven mornings around 7:00 when the LOUD announcements blasted me out of bed (there was a 1/4-inch gap in the ...

About the Reviewer: I’m a middle-aged American male who traveled solo on this, my 62nd voyage. Just over half of my sailings have been with NCL, however, I have sailed on other cruise lines including Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, MSC and Carnival. This was my second cruise as a Diamond Latitudes member, which is NCL’s second highest Latitudes tier. This was my 8th voyage of the year and my 4th on ...
