Bad Experience on an Antarctica Cruise

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Norwegian Star

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

My wife and I, both in our 60’s, booked this 14 day cruise from Buenos Aires to Antarctica and were very disappointed. We have over 30 cruises with 10 on Norwegian and the rest mostly on Royal Caribbean, Princess, or Holland America. I usually rate cruises as 5 star as you get what you book and a cruise is usually a good time. However this cruise on the Norwegian Star was overall terrible for ...

Our cruise of a lifetime to antarctica was a total waste of time and money. Hal couldn't have screwed up more if it really tried. i'll share just the highlights! our embarkation was a seven hour (two on a bus and five in the terminal) fiasco with ~ 5,000 people crammed into one room with five ships in port and then hal required all passengers to take a covid test on the third day! also, no ...

I really wanted to go to Antarctica, I booked this entire cruise with the plan to do the excursion. It ended up getting canceled due to insurance problems and Holland America gave us (everyone on the excursion) future cruise credit. I think I'm going to let mine go to waste, I have no desire to ever go on another cruise and certainly not a Holland America one. Aside from that: my shower was super ...

This was supposed to be a trip of a life time, booked over 2 years ago. But its prove to be anything but. We were notified 5 days before departure that "due to a technical issue with the ship's propulsion system, as a precaution, we will have to reduce our maximum speed by a few knots". This meant they cancelled the stop to Puerto Madryn (penguins). We received the princely sum of £131 ...

1. Notified just a couple of days ahead of departure of propeller problems and that we would misse Port Madryn. 2. Into Ushuala Argentina extremely late 4:30pm and stayed to 2am--long after the town had closed down. 3. Missed Port Stanley. The day we should have arrived was a beautiful day and but the day we attempted to approach Port Stanley we were in purported to be "hurricane force" ...

Chose Antarctica as the trip of a lifetime. Was a totally awful experience : 1. Ship had only one azapod so 72 hours pre-departure we were informed the itinerary was changing as the ship was unable to travel at full speed. 14 day itinerary and we lost one of only four land stops. We are due compensation of 1/14th of the cruise cost but this has not been received yet. Worth noting that the ship ...

In my experience, Celebrity is not the Premium cruise line that their advertising claims– not by a long shot. Recently took the Antarctic cruise on the Celebrity Infinity. We were notified 1 week before departure that there was a problem with the propulsion system that would restrict the ship speed to 2/3 of the normal cruising speed. As a result, one of the 4 port destinations was deleted from ...

We were sent to Antarctica on the INFINITY – A ship unfit for the seas. Two years of planning, over $24,000.00 (not including airfare, hotels, and other costs), and a year’s worth of PTO from work have led us to two weeks of disappointment. On January 13, 2018, about one week prior to our departure, we were notified about a propulsion issue with the ship and that they were canceling our port ...

First cruise with Celebrity and the last. We have been cruising for the last 35 years and never struck issues like these - even in older ships and much heavier weather. 6 days before we were due to board, the itinerary was changed due to 'technical issues with the propulsion system". The issue had also been present on the previous cruise so why weren't we told earlier ? As a result, the ...
