This ship is very old and outdated. Poor condition, rust on bathroom wall and the balcony area. The interior was old and worn out and not very appealing as it was dark and dreary. While inside the ship during the day you felt like it was nightime. the food was just average with limited places to eat lunch or breakfast. The entertainment was just so-so and limited for a long 16 day cruise. The ...

This was our 4th Norweigan ship and cruise. Out of 20 cruises sailed this was the worst ship we have ever been on. The venues for the shows were small, the layout of the ship was noisy, and the food was cold or overdone, more often than not. The entertainment was repeated and not that great of quality. A large casino , but prices of buyins were high so tables sat empty a lot. Speciality ...

We chose this cruise because it was a great price and we loved the ports prior to the transatlantic crossing. Here are some bullet points of our disappointment: When I entered my stateroom there was duct tape on the vent in the shower room and the toilet room. There was lots of rust all around the ship, including our balcony. There were ceiling tiles falling down in one of ...

My wife, a friend, and I just completed the 12 day Mediterranean Cruise on the Norwegian Epic which left out of Rome on November 8. My wife and I have been on NCL a couple of times in the past and had a great experience - wish I could say the same for this trip. The Epic can hold over 4500 passengers; but, there are only 2900 on board (just over 1/2 capacity). Below is a list of issues ...

What a Disappointment

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

This cruise was over a year in preparation. Many of us were first time cruisers. We were a family of 12 looking forward to a Mediterranean Cruise and spent thousands of dollars in both excursions and for the cruise itself. We never made it to our first port Athens due to high winds and were stuck at sea, this in combination to already 2 days of scheduled sea days. We lost all our money on our ...

We had originally booked a cruise through the Greek Islands and Turkey to Rome on the NCL Epic but it was canceled and this was the next best itinerary for the dates we had available for our vacation. The first problem arose when our luggage took until nearly 9:30pm to be delivered to our stateroom. And upon getting into our balcony cabin We had a a letter informing us that the ten day thermal spa ...

We chose this cruise largely due to the great itinerary (Italy, Greece and Malta) and the price (November is low season and prices were good, but more on that later). We embarked on November 2 and disembarked November 12. The ship is very, very large, and was much more crowded than we expected, given that fewer ships sail the Mediterranean in November than, say, summertime. We did a combination of ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

My wife chose this cruise mainly due to our starting and stopping in Rome {Civitavecchia}, so we spent a few days in Rome after the 10-day adventure. Starting off with a late embarkation due to serious plumbing issues on deck 8, we had a nice first day at sea but arrived late to our first port, Santorini. Taking the cable car was the best way to make the most of an excursion that only lasted a few ...

Ok, first the good. The food is pretty reasonable. We eat at speciality restaurants , the buffet and the three included restaurants. Manhattan room restaurant was a bitt too big and noisy for us but the others were very nice. The restaurant staff were all very friendly and helpful and the food good. The speciality restaurants were great and $25 extra for Lobster seemed fair. There were garlic ...

Worst Norwegian class ship

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

We are long time NCL cruisers and were excited to try the Viva. We had one mid ship balcony and one Haven penthouse. Long story short the ship feels very cramped. The buffet is tiny and was full everytime we tried to get in. Indulge was full every time we tried to get in as well. There are many pools, but they are all small and not something we wanted to use. There were very few hand ...
