We’ve sailed with NCL for years, always a great experience. We’ve also cruised with several other lines We choose to stay with NCL because of the “freestyle dining” We’ve booked the Haven once , the owners suite twice all the others have been suite balcony or standard balcony’s We also booked a cruise for the Mediterranean in November prior to boarding the jade … may have to rethink it ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We enjoyed our cruise and overall had a good time. The itinerary was great, the crew friendly and helpful, the activities were diversified. The ship was sold out and very crowded at times, especially the pool and early dining times. Without a reservation the waiting time to enter any Main Dining Room before 8 pm was at least 30 min. Lines to enter MDR would form long before opening time. Once, ...

This 11 day cruise was a lot of fun. Most of the staff was great. We found the guest service staff not as friendly as the cabin steward, bar and wait staff who were all very friendly. o’Sheenans, which is the only restaurant open after 10 or 11pm, was not very good. The food was pretty bad and the service was slow and not friendly like the other restaurants on board. The Jasmine was wonderful. ...

My wife became ill on the cruise and had to see the medical facility. She was diagnosed with COVID and a bacterial infection. The medical staff were incredible. Guest services, medical, housekeeping, concierge and butler were all incredible attentive afterwards and appeared to be genuinely concerned about her wellbeing. In general, all staff were professional, hardworking, and provided some ...

Blatant Lack of Concern about the Customer Experience

We have cruised loyally with NCL for 13yrs; over 78 nights on cruises; 7 different cruises. Each year, the guest experience has been slashed while the price has gone up. Yet, we still think the next cruise will be better. But I think we are done with NCL. Our recent sailing on the Jade was just a blatant lack of concern about the guest experience. EACH INDIVIDUAL staff member was incredible ...

My husband and I have cruised twice before with NCL, first time 10 years ago and 2nd time was 5 years ago. This trip was planned as a 40th wedding anniversary celebration and it met or exceeded all my expectations. We wanted a 14 day or more cruise, off-season works great for us and the pricing was very attractive. We initially booked a 2-bedroom (non-Haven) almost a year in advance but prior to ...

Service nearly everywhere was very good to outstanding. The waiters we had in the MDR worked very well to get our table of 4 were very well taken care of and consistently out in about an hour and 15 minutes. The head waiter visited our table usually 2-3 times every night. This has NEVER happened before on any ship on any cruise line. We were lucky to see a head waiter 2-3 times the entire ...

Took the 10 day Caribbean cruise leaving Tampa on April 7, 2023. Pros: Embarkation port of Tampa - a 1 1/2 hour drive from our home. Smaller ship, easier to navigate for one of us with mobility issues. Pleasant staff throughout. Clean concierge balcony stateroom that seemed updated in some respects (not others), unlike some previous reviews - no torn curtains or shower curtains. Bathroom ...

Norwegian Dawn significantly worse than pre-Covid

Food is generally very bland. This is true for the Garden Cafe (self-service buffet) as well as the "included" restaurants. There are daily themes in the buffet such as seafood, asian or Indian, but nothing was outstanding. There was a selection of Indian dishes every day, but I did not see a single Mediterranean dish let alone theme. The service at the included restaurants was good but very slow ...

Things got ugly during disembarkation. Listen up NCL this is important.

We were on the NCL Dawn for a 14 day Caribbean Cruise. There is lots to report regarding our disembarkation. It was the absolute worst ever. It seems there was a big problem getting the normal gangway in place when we arrived at the port of Tampa. The number of passengers who could get off was very limited as the Dawn crew resorted to using the level 4 very steep and narrow gang ways instead. ...
