1-10 of 80 Rome (Civitavecchia) Norwegian Epic Cruise Reviews
I’ve been sailing NCL since 2010 and truly enjoyed their suites and style of cruising. But by 2017 the new management’s constant customer unfriendly changes and cutbacks had me questioning the overall value of NCL. Watching NCL produce ships with race tracks, laser tag, video arcade pavilions, ever larger Vibe areas and more for-fee areas at the cost of included public spaces made me wonder if I ...
Cruised out of Rome and my flights and transfers were all organised by my agent with no issues whatsoever, met in Rome and although I thought the transfer was probably too long from being greeted to departing for the port on a shared 50 seater coach.
Actual embarkation was straightforward and very quick and I was soon at my cabin. I needed proof of a negative covid test, vaccinations and that ...
The cruise itself was okay. The pools are too small and the adult pool/Spice H2O was closed the last couple of days. We were given a $50 credit for the inconvenience.There are no lounge chairs in that area to lay out & they close early in the evening.The staff was very friendly and our steward was awesome, he was very attentive. As for the excursions, we spent too many hours traveling to each ...
We consider ourselves as easily pleased and fair - so here goes
The boarding at Civitavecchia (Rome) was seamless at our allocated time. We had all our paper work ready and check-in complete, with COVID test etc, which I think helped as there were plenty of folk sitting around waiting. If you do decide to get a test there, yes, as advertised, it will cost $65. There were places apparently in ...
After months of being unable to cruise due to the moratorium, I was eager to resume sailing. I had booked one NCL cruise but that was canceled. I then booked NCL Epic`s sailing from Rome on 20 Nov 2022. There were several alterations to the cruise identified shortly before I boarded the ship (but subsequent to the cut-off date for canceling with no financial penalty). First, the production of ...
Our Princess TA from Rome was cancelled. The price and itinerary worked for us so we booked our first NCL cruise. We have been on 38 cruises, mostly Princess tho we have tried Cunard, Disney, MSC, Carnival
Bottom line? I would never take this ship if fully booked. Even at 40% capacity there were some long lines. I will give NCL a try again—and bought two Future cruise certificates. Also, ...
I waited to write this trying to be fair and take the Covid protocols into account but even without Covid this ship is like a mish/mash of other ships. Bits of this and that...you soon start feeling you've been on the ship before. Deck, two tiny pools and massive slides etc. for kids. Naturally Cagney's, La Bistro, La Cuchina, were at their best as always. O'Sheehans was the only place with ...
We were anticipating a great accommodation on what we were told was a newly remodeled Epic…oh…wait…remodeled does not mean that all passengers will have nice accommodations! The remodeling apparently only meant that the former gathering space on the top deck has been eliminated and is now high priced suites for a select few guests willing to pay for the privilege. The standard cabins are ...
Just disembarked yesterday, so I thought I'd review while it's still fresh in my mind.
Embarkation in Civi was smooth and seamless and well organized, the whole process took less than 1/2 hour.
When we got to our balcony stateroom there was a strong urine smell in the toilet area, not a great first impression. Off I went to guest services, where they apologized and promised to have the ...
1. Nickel And Dimed: I felt like everything was extra money after I paid for my cruise.
- The app to message people around the ship was $10.
- Most of the restaurants you had to pay for ($40-$50/person)
- The best entertainment you had to pay for.
- All drinks except water you had to pay for. (other ships I have sailed with let you get a soda or lemonade or something similar with your ...
