7th time sailing with Norwegian and might not be sailing with them again. Main buffet hall closed more than open, pool way to small for so many people, if you or anyone going, smoke than dont go on the viva, smoking area was dangerous and very slippy, deck was power hosed with people trying to walk across the wet deck and wet stairs, pointed this out and was totaly fobbed off,to little bar staff ...

I chose this cruise for the itinerary and the fact that it was going to be the NCL's Viva's maiden voyage. To start with, you would not know that it was a maiden voyage. They did not arrange for a Fire Boat to send us off from the Port of Triste! If there was a welcoming party you didn't hear about it. Without this beginning party the rest of the cruise was flat. The cruise director could not get ...

We were looking for our first Med Cruise and to possibly branch out to a different cruise line. We settled on the opportunity to take the maiden cruise of a brand new ship, the Norwegian Viva, as it happened to have an ideal itinerary for us as it traveled from Venice (Trieste) to Lisbon. From the moment we stepped on the ship and were greeted with all the new novelties and layout along with the ...

Most disappointing cruise I have ever had! This was my fifth cruise on board a ship and the third time with Norwegian.

As far as the food was concerned, I felt I was back at a camp cafeteria even though I always ate in one of their dining rooms. It is a shame that their menus far out did the quality of food. Even the 'special' dining was bad news in the quality of food. I had paid extra for 'Priority Boarding'. There was none provided!! One particular day, I had to line up 2 hours just to disembark from the ...

Free at sea, cannot compensate for bad service and a bad ship.

Chose the ship to revisit the Mediterranean. Big mistake. Hair in the food on embarkation lunch. Hair in the food in the main dining room. Ship is very old with tattered carpet and chairs in the theater. If this is a refurbished ship, it needs to be retired. Boring cruise, Director with little to no interaction with us on the ship. Entertainment venues were mediocre at best. One night they just ...

The itinerary had port day each day visiting 7 different countries and 2 islands. A little overwhelming at first as I thought I would wear myself out. But surprisingly I never really got tired despite doing something everyday. I enjoyed most of the ports. Some were underwhelming. One port I would point out is that Venice was miserable. Local laws force the cruise ships to anchor at least 5 miles ...

Great Cruise Itinerary

We were attracted to this cruise because of the itinerary. Our cabin , 107**, was very good and so was the service provided by our cabin steward. The overall food quality was fair at best and the beef was consistently tough and chewy, even in the specialty restaurants. The service in the main dining restaurants, especially The Versailles Restaurant , was exceptionally poor to the extent that we ...

Last HAL ship of 2021 Europe COVID season heads to FLL with little entertainment

WE chose Holland America's Westerdam OCTOBER 18, 2021 repositioning from Venice to FLL to return to cruising at what we thought was the end of the COVID pandemic., October 2021. WRONG! The 2021 cruising season morphed into a strange version of the book "Ship of Fools" . Four different HAL ships ( Westerdam cancelled) had their itineraries and cruises cancelled and consolidated onto the ...

The Ship That will not be Named

“The ship that will not be named” — that is how my wife and I have agreed to deal with this atrocious memory. Embarkation was sadistic. Pouring rain in Venice, through which you MUST walk for the final 100 m to the shuttle and check-in location. Then MSC has you wait outside their MSC 5 million square foot terminal (with room for tens of thousands of people inside), in the wind and cold, for ...

We selected this cruise to celebrate my husband's retirement. The combination of ports and transatlantic cruise was the perfect fit and the time of year was just what we were hoping for. We flew into Venice a couple of days prior to sailing and enjoyed checking out the city. The problems started once we arrived in our cabin and discovered the toilet did not operate. Nor did it work the next ...
