As far as the food was concerned, I felt I was back at a camp cafeteria even though I always ate in one of their dining rooms. It is a shame that their menus far out did the quality of food. Even the 'special' dining was bad news in the quality of food. I had paid extra for 'Priority Boarding'. There was none provided!! One particular day, I had to line up 2 hours just to disembark from the ...
Chose the ship to revisit the Mediterranean. Big mistake. Hair in the food on embarkation lunch. Hair in the food in the main dining room. Ship is very old with tattered carpet and chairs in the theater. If this is a refurbished ship, it needs to be retired. Boring cruise, Director with little to no interaction with us on the ship. Entertainment venues were mediocre at best. One night they just ...
The itinerary had port day each day visiting 7 different countries and 2 islands. A little overwhelming at first as I thought I would wear myself out. But surprisingly I never really got tired despite doing something everyday. I enjoyed most of the ports. Some were underwhelming. One port I would point out is that Venice was miserable. Local laws force the cruise ships to anchor at least 5 miles ...
We were attracted to this cruise because of the itinerary. Our cabin , 107**, was very good and so was the service provided by our cabin steward. The overall food quality was fair at best and the beef was consistently tough and chewy, even in the specialty restaurants. The service in the main dining restaurants, especially The Versailles Restaurant , was exceptionally poor to the extent that we ...
I cruised many times before but first time with Norwegian and it was not good experience.
Food:
- Garden Cafe buffet was way below average and mostly asian cuisine. Only soup made for your request was delicious.
- O' Sheehan's Bar& Grill had very limited choices of food the same below of average quality
- Special dining in Le Bistro was satisfactory. Ginza was just ok.
- Versailles ...
We have just experienced six weeks cruising on the NCL Star chosen for the itinerary. The refurbished ship is basic, clean. and most staff are friendly. Staterooms are about 1/2 the size of a standard hotel room; comfortable with basic amenities, but not very soundproof. Hopefully your neighbours on all four sides are respectful and considerate of others. The Bliss Lounge is now dark without ...
We chose this cruise as we’ve always wanted to see the Mediterranean. We arrived in Rome a day early and stayed near the Trevi Fountain. Embarking was quick and easy in Civitavecchia and disembarking in Athens allowed us to see a number of ports.
The only disappointment was the change in port from Monaco to Saint Tropez. When we got to Saint Tropez on Sunday, everything was closed. Being ...
We thought we liked the itinerary - 10 day cruise from Venice to Barcelona with a different port everyday. We wore ourselves out and did not have the discipline not to get off the ship every day. Just couldn’t resist at least seeing the port. Next time I will choose ships with at least 2 sea days on a 10 day cruise. Ports we liked: Split, Dubrovnik, Kotor: each of which we did either a hop on/hop ...
We chose Norwegian Star because of the price was right. But the saying goes you get what you pay for. Let me start by saying that if you expect help from personnel if you contract Covid on the ship, you are badly fooling yourself. Let me tell you, as for a health care professional for 40 years, sanitation is the least of there worries. I went on board on April 13, 2022 in Venus, Croatia, ...
I chose this cruise because I was excited that we would be at port most days and I really wanted to visit Santorini, Greece. Unfortunately, we were notified the day before we set sail that the itinerary had been changed and we would not be going to Santorini after all. They offered us $100 compensation per state room. They had also removed a stop to Montenegro and had shortened 5 of our other ...
