Huge drop in quality at NCL

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Jade

Well as a huge fan of the Jade and loyal NCL cruiser I can not argue with a lot of the recent negative reviews. My travel group came with an open mind but we feel very let down by NCL. They have obviously cut back on many things however, there short sighted savings will actually cost them more as loyal customers go elsewhere. The buffet has very little choice with the same dishes repeated many ...

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. ...

Cruise ship is very poorly maintained. Our cabin had numerous issues, none of which were fixed. Food was mediocre at most times. We had a few good meals in the MDR. We had cruised on the Dawn about 3 years prior, and this was our 10th+ cruise on NCL. The staff, for the most part, did not care. Very poor customer service. Entertainment was, surprisingly, pretty good, but it did not make up ...

I have never been on a cruise ship that ignored passengers more than this crew for the Norwegian Dawn. My husband and I do not drink alcohol, but in order to get any kind of service for poolside drinks, we had to rely on people who had beverage packages to order even a simple water for us. We were told that drinks like water or iced tea can be obtained from the Garden Cafe, a full deck below and ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

We have sailed on multiple ships but never Celebrity. We had heard such good things about their ships and service that we were excited to choose it to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. This was a very big mistake. The ship is very old and has not been updated. There were holes on the decks where it had rusted through. The lifeboats had not been tested since 2019, as noted on the side of ...

This cruise ship was not at all transparent in their changes they changed the whole itinerary. Did not tell us about this until the third day two days at sea then it was changed to completely different islands three instead of the seven. Then to come find out that if you did not have a excursion with Norwegian you could not get off the ship. The ship we were on had no Entertainment that you would ...

We have sailed multiple times on Norwegian and also on other cruise lines. Most of the usual items on this cruise were fine. Housekeeping and dining room staff were lovely, polite, accommodating and efficient. It was a good itinerary with a nice balance off sea days and ports. The Dawn, while in need of a refurbishment, was clean and had the right amenities. The entertainment, especially the ...

We went on this Cruise because it was the itinerary we wanted for the Panama canal but we will never go on carnival again! We will be sticking to Royal Caribbean. The shore excursions were great but pretty much anything having to do with onboard sucked! The shows were so loud I couldn't stay for any of them, the food was not good, I ordered breakfast to my room every morning with extra cereal ...

I have been cruising for 40 years. My very fist cruise was on NCL Starward in 1984. This was a theme cruise which it why I chose it. The Summer Palace was beautiful, the dining room staff was very pleasant, but the food. OMG! Terrible is an understatement for the worst dining room food I have ever experienced. I am amazed at how bad it was! The menu never changed, & the menu descriptions did not ...
