We went on a friend's and family cruise, 5 cabins 19 people all together kids and adults. This was my 17th cruise 3rd with norwegian. We had reservations in the Manhattan room every night for all of us for dinner, this is where disaster started, took forever all the food we got was cold or had to be sent back then the whole other table didn't get fed for 20 mins after ours we had 2 tables because of our size. No staff was making sure that people were doing washy washy like they should, any where in the ship, Mark my words we will hear about an outbreak soon on this ship. Clean staff for the rooms were horrible, we had a coffee cup of cigarette butts on our balcony for 3 days before we have it to the room Stewart to take away. Also there were Cheerios under my bed for days, we finally talked to guest services about our room Stewart and they sent up a manager right away( props for that) and I talked to him about all the problems. They took forever to get to cleaning the rooms plus turning down the rooms. Our room Stewart was the same as another of our 2 cabins and had other problems with him also. The other 2 cabins of our group were on another floor and they had big problems with there room Stewart and got a new one, that was much better. This was the second time in this ship we sailed on this ship 2 years prior. The room was nice in size and good size bathroom. We like having a balcony. The port of Manhattan does need more seats for people in this port, if there going to put a bigger ship in this port they better upgrade the seating capacity. We also had sewage smells in different areas on this ship during different days.
We liked the cabin size and location. Lots of room for 4 people, shower was decent size.
Been here to this port many times over the years, they have been doing a good job of cleaning up this port. They do need a little check back into older times, items are getting pricey on this island for what it is.
Beautiful beach. We got off the boat early because last time I was on this cruise we had a terrible time rendering so knew to get off early. Would be nice to put in a port and get rid of the rendering boats, can see there adding some things to the island, some construction going on. Plus we saw a group of people putting hundreds of picnic tables together.
