Tampa to the Southern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

Went on this cruise because we had been on the Jade before and it was really fantastic.Hmmm well not any more really disappointing, the food was just awful and very repetitive,hardly any choice,there was just nothing that I could say I enjoyed.its really sad as I was really looking forward to it. All the staff seemed fed up as though they didn’t want to be there,I was not happy as the toilet ...

Where do I begin: Bad food, lack of dining space, high prices for everything including tips and surcharges. Two good restaurants: The buffet and Murano (with additional charges, expensive). The room (family room) had a drop down bunk bed. Had to get onto the bed sideways. Room very tight to move around; no real place to sit down! Safe inacessible for a short person (I am 4-11 1/2). ...

This was our first cruise with Celebrity, having cruised in the past with RC, NCL, and Princess. Our booking was messed up through the travel agent and we wound up booked in an Aqua Class cabin. The cabin itself was tired, worn, and needed maintenance. The mattresses had permanent dips and I flipped those over so we didn't have to sleep in as deep of a hole. Curtains were hanging off the rod, ...

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 ...

Where do I start.... Embarking time was 12-12:30, we arrived at Tampa port and line ups were very long, either passengers disregarded their time slots or NCL was very disorganized with registering passengers. We finally got through the process and arrived on the ship but had to wait for our room to be ready. Went to Garden Cafe (buffet) only half the buffet was open. We had an Oceanview ...

Sadly, NCL Dawn is just a vehicle to get to fun port destinations. As a pretty frequent cruiser, and latitudes member I must say we have seen a steady decline in NCL. The Dawn does not really honor the latitudes program that they promise to loyal repeat customers. The service is good, despite the obvious staff cutbacks. There are no longer a towel monitors and people were grabbing 4 or 5 towels ...

Chose this ship for its length and NCL’s included packages. Have been on previous NCL ships, last one was when Covid was just hitting the states. We were a group of 13 all in our 50’s-60’s and we felt like the young group on board, just hit a very elderly cruise that’s all. Embarking was easy enough. Outside deck service is near nonexistent, you’ll end standing in line, waiting to ...

Hi Everyone, I finally was able to take my first vacation in 10 years so I decided to take a cruise on an older ship, but not too old because I didn't want to travel on a floating city like the ships that are being built now a days. These ships can hold 5000 + PAX and 2500 crew. I also wanted to leave from a port that was relatively close to my home. I live in Florida and we have quite a few ...

NCL used to be a very friendly cruise line with great guest services. However, during our most recent two cruises with NCL (one before and one after the Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions), they have shown they know how to ruin a cruise. This southern Caribbean cruise, our third recent cruise, is no exception, just a significant number of frustrations, disappointments, broken promises that add up ...

This was our 8th or 9th cruise, so not an expert but do have some experience. We didn't get off to a good start as I spent $249 on Priority Access (PA) which didn't actually exist. You are reading correctly, it was fraud and I am attempting to get my money back and have filed a complaint with Norwegian. We arrived to embark and asked for the PA line which is part of the description. It didn't ...
