My wife and I just returned from the Norwegian Escape after taking a trip over New Years and her birthday. We really love to cruise. This was our first experience with Norwegian and for the record we have been on cruises with Holland America, Carnival, Princess and Royal Caribbean. We are comparing to everyone but MSC as we haven't been on their line yet.
I perceived Norwegian as an upper ...
I cruised on the Norwegian Escape on December 16, 2023. Although this was not my first cruise on Norwegian, it will be my last!
I was disappointed with so many aspects of the service provided, that I'm sure I'll forget to mention something. 1. The guest to crew ratio was not conducive to great service. I had a party of 7 and meals in the main dining room were at least 2 hours for each ...
We chose this cruise to go with a friend group. We felt we got a good price using the Black Friday special and had heard good things about NCL. We traveled to the cruise together however on our flight back we were booked on separate flights which was inconvenient as we had travelled to the airport together.
The entertainment was not family friendly and it was good entertainment but not ...
Hello, I have never written a review like this, EVER. Actually in over 30 cruises this may be the second one. We are Sapphire Latitude status, that’s a lot of NCL cruises. We did a back to back. June 3 - 15 Port Canaveral to Lisbon, 12 nights - June 15 - 24 Lisbon to Rome, 9 nights.
BA Balcony cabin, room was a good location and we enjoyed it. Room steward was nice. NCL has stopped the ...
We chose this cruise because of the Atlantic crossing then stayed onboard beyond Lisbon for the destinations in the Mediterranean (21 day cruise, total). My wife and I are Sapphire members with NCL. We hadn’t cruised with NCL for about 2 years. We have been experiencing the decline of many aspects of NCL cruising for the last 6 or 7 years. Their customer service and food quality has been declining ...
Destinations was top of mind as we explored the many choices of cruise lines. A Caribbean cruise was our top choice with as many ports as possible. Norwegian Cruise Line Getaway offered a 9-day cruise to the Dominican Republic, Saint Thomas, Saint Maarten, Antigua, San Jaun Porta Rico and of course the NCL private island in the Bahamas. With only 2 full days at sea, it seemed the best value for ...
We chose this cruise to try the NCL brand, the itinerary, and felt at the time, it was a good price. We enjoyed the size of our cabin and the view. We were in an accessible cabin (137** forward) due to my husband having mobility issues. With that being said, we were too far from the elevators and with items almost always left in the narrow hallways, my husband had to fold up his walker many times ...
I planned this cruise with a friend that I hadn't seen in almost 15 years. First, the good... the crew was absolutely amazing. From the moment we embarked until we said our last goodbyes, there was not a single crew member who we would not have given the highest regard. There were a few who stood out above the rest and we recognized them with Hero Cards and additional tips, but all were amazing ...
Good: food variety and quality. Clean and pretty ship. Good port options.
Reality: nickel and dime to death. Intentionally made it hard to keep water it drinks in room, no water fountains and only at a bar or open restaurant . Restaurants overbooked, wasted dining passes. Priority passes are worthless! No room on sun decks at all and no enforcement “no saving chairs or leaving chairs.” They ...
Took the grandkids for their first cruise. This ship is so unorganized. Staff running in way too many directions. Bars forget it you wait to get a drink and when you do get your drink it’s never the same as the last one! Whiskey sour how hard is that whiskey and sour mix, apparently very hard for this crew. There is no doubt the bottles are watered down there was no to very little whiskey in my ...
