Nice common areas on deck - appreciated the stage area in a central spot that was consistent with music and entertainment throughout sea days and in the afternoons as cruisers were returning to the ship.

This was our first cruise with Norwegian Cruise lines, and it was also the last. We have done several cruises with Celebrity and Royal Caribbean. This cruise line does not measure up for us. We paid $4,000 to upgrade from an inside cabin to an outside cabin on the back of the boat. The cabin was small and bathroom except for the shower was very tight. I'm a little over 6' tall and it was ...

We paid a quite a lot of pretty pennies for Suite 11518 and were quite impressed upon first impressions. Of course, all we did was take a quick look around, high- five one another, and head out to the 12th deck to meet our friends and tell them how beautiful and LARGE our suite was. We didn't notice how haunted we would be until the following afternoon, when we came in from our excursion in ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

I chose the cruise because it was available at the time I wanted to take vacation and I had wanted to go to Alaska for a while. The Alaska portion of the trip was fantastic and I highly recommend it, I had beautiful clear skies and temperate weather with very little rain. The NCL staff outside of "Guest Services" was good overall and if not for the terrible service from their Guest Services staff, ...

NEVER AGAIN!...This is the title of my review. Yes, after being Silver member of Norwegian Cruise line (using this cruise line many times for different destinations) - this cruise to Alaska with NCL will be my LAST cruise with them. And here is why. I wouldn't complain about the bed size in cabin (very small SINGLE beds) but I'll start with FOOD in restaurants. As you already familiar, cruise ...

The main problem with sailing on this ship is communication. Most of the staff could not understand English and if the questions asked of them where outside the parameters of their spiel they just looked at you with a dumb look and said nothing. We didn't travel with children, thank goodness The ultimate beverage package is a joke and trying to change it to something that suited my friend and I ...

The family chose this line. I had heard that they were not a very good line. The staff and the balcony room were nice but it ends there. The food was below average even when you paid extra. The officers were not friendly and the tours were over priced. I use Viatour tours and the family use the boats tour company. They wished they had use my tour company. They cancelled one stop ...

Norwegian Jewel the worst ship I have been on and I consider Norwegian Cruise Liner with fraudental advertising. I was on a 7 night Alaskan Cruise. We were to dock at 3 Alaskan port and also at Vancouver BC. Two days before sailing; Norwegian Cruise send an email stating they were cancelling Skagway Port stop due to ship repair. Norwegian Cruise line reimbursed US$ 267 for the port ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 30s

Do NOT book a cruise through Norwegian. We have cruised several times through various cruise lines and they have the worst customer service we have ever experienced. They canceled our port in Skagway and only let us know two days before sailing. Not only did they cancel our port, but they brought us back to Seattle a day early. They were only going to offer each stateroom $100.00 of onboard credit ...

I wanted to make my wife's 50th birthday something she would remember! Well, thanks to NCL, it will be memorable....but not in a good way. 2 Days prior to sailing I receive a call from my travel agent informing me that Skagway was canceled because NCL decided to do maintenance on the propulsion system on the single most expensive sailing of the season. ( Yes I could have picked a less ...
