Poor kids experience

Food was great, staff were nice and friendly. We had a good time. The cruise director & captain were funny and witty. I’m giving them 2 stars because of the “Kids Zone”, our trip was predicated on having our 3-yr old go to splash zone while we attended our specialty dining, gambling and occasional drinks, however the staff and policies at the Kid Zone (splash zone) were horrible! ) they wouldn’t ...

Mid ship / Deck 9 Balcony Room Pros: Excellent / Great food (all beef is angus beef) - never over cooked as we experienced both times on Royal Caribbean. By far the best food on any cruise line we've experienced. Excellent customer service No seasickness due to captain/pilot's experience on large swells on last day of cruise No lines for Starbucks Cons: *No place to get away ...

We have cruised multiple times with multiple cruise lines this was such a disappointment to our group of 10 and a 16 month old. I will make this easy to review: 1. Long waits for everything 2. Since the casino is so large and covers so much of the 6th floor on the boat there is a constant smell of cigarette smoke on the floors above and below. 3. The kiddy pool is the size of a blowup ...

Norwegian Business Practices Require Review

Start with the positives, ship was quite nice, as were accommodations. Staff on the most part were helpful, and food was very good. Now the negative, way too many passengers to appropriately accommodate. Long lines and wait times for shows, drinks elevators etc. Norwegians overall business practices are poor in my opinion. Besides the unreasonable costs for packages such as drinks and specialty ...

I have cruised other cruise lines several times. This was my first trip on Norwegian. The good thing about the ship was that we had a nice balcony room, that was soundproof even though near the elevators and stairs. The rest was very poor. 1. Food was terrible. They did not even have the choices they listed on their website as their standard menu. They served the same core selections ...

Chose this cruise because of the itinerary and price. We found the overall ship to be in good shape and clean. The staff was excellent and very helpful. Stayed in a Haven suite and found the cabin to be clean and good size for my wife and I. We found the food to very good and restaurant staff to be great. The casino on the ship is the biggest we have seen on a cruise ship and really liked ...

This was our 4th cruise with NCL we have cruised 5 times with Disney and 1 with Royal Caribbean. This will be our last NCL! The staff was rude and they didn’t care about their customers. We waited in 30 minute lines just to get a drink even a soft drink. The food was horrible except at Cagney. The excursion we booked was to include a catamaran but didn’t…they only refunded us 30.00. They ...

I typically do not take the time to write a review but I felt compelled to save people from wasting their money on this ship. I must state this is our 11th NCL cruise and my family is loyal to NCL. Also have travelled on the Epic in 2019. WHAT HAPPENED? I want to start by recognizing the good. The cruise next team were fabulous and the service in Cagney's and Le Bistro top notch! We were able ...

I take no pleasure in saying that I've never dealt with a company that treats customer service as recklessly as NCL. There are several points for improvement. I'll focus on the most glaring issue. On the final day of our cruise, a staff member at the photography studio yelled at us, and became extremely condescending, over their inaccurately labeled and stated prices. We were provided several ...

What an experience on the Epic. I booked a family balcony and got an obstructed view with no way to see the ocean. There are only a few of these balconies but there is not a different room type for these. I tried to change rooms and was told no. I explained the room type does not say it’s an obstructed view and they said “ I will write a report and get back to you”. 6 days on ship and no follow ...
