Great staff; bad experience…

We chose a cruise to go to the Bahamas, Cozumel, Belize, and Rotoan. The itinerary changed three times. First two, changing days around. I was told I now needed a passport to get into Belize so no problem my wife and I spent almost $600 expediting passports. Sure enough, they cancel Belize (the only reason we booked this cruise) and add Costa Maya…fine it happens. Next, they canceled the Bahamas ...

First, this was the first time I've ever been on a cruise for more than 1 day. This was a 7 day Caribbean cruise. Overall, it wasn't much different than staying at a floating theme resort. The stops along the way definitely were worth the trip. That said, there isn't much out there to prepare a Newby for such an experience. The staff was nice, but not very helpful. They couldn't answer any ...

Our 7-day Caribbean cruise aboard the NCL Epic was mostly a failure. The only thing epic was all the lines we stood in to see or do anything. Lines to get drinks, see shows, board tender boats, and even the dining had lines. The worst was the 45+ minute wait in line to board a tender boat on the private island to return to the ship, not to mention the lines for drinks and food on the island. ...

Not sure why this ship gets so much heat on here, I regretted reading this a few days before the cruise. Yes its a quirky ship, but its really quite a fun one too. The Caribbean sailings have been full at capacity, so of course there have been some lines. Famously the upstairs wave bar, but the bartenders work very quickly and work very very hard. Serving multiple people at one time, the lines ...

Our cruise experience started off with a bad note right from the start. This is my 3rd cruise first on Norwegian. Connecting with the app was a nightmare sending me to customer service right off. Was told the new Wi-Fi will not be available for several hours because they were changing accounts from the previous cruise. Several hours later it wasn’t much better. We found out in order to keep in ...

We were so disappointed on our cruise on Norwegian Epic . We had a balcony suite and had to move around in single file! The room was not always cleaned and they told us they only had decaf coffee for cabins ! Our friends were also in a balcony suite and could not find life preservers in their cabin . After two days one of stewards found under the bed ! They notified the steward several days before ...

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 ...

Norwegian has always been a must on my cruising lists for how nice they are. I figured this would be perfect for me and my husband since it was his first time ever going on a cruise and took years to convince. The crew itself were great! Ran thin but always so happy and nice. The ship was very outdated over booked and upgraded balcony room beds were just two cots pushed together. Sanitation was ...

Because i used to love ncl. After this cruise not so much. I am almost saphire and probably won’t make it to it. The food was awful. Pasta e fagioli was clear broth with flour in it. French onion ,onion and broth with a crouton and a spoon of cheese. Cagneys surf and turf, lobster burnt from broiler and filet was tough as leather. Still charged me for it. Room made up 3 times in whole ...

My son purchased this cruise and i was excited to get away for a week and relax…wrong!! After waiting in line to get through the drop off, security and finally boarding the boat, we waited 10 minutes for a packed elevator. Upon entering our small tiny cabin i noticed how dated it was, the two small 30 year old twin sunken in mattresses, the toilet was in a shower stall and would not flush for a ...
