Great crew, not my favorite ship

My mother and I chose this cruise because it sailed from New Orleans, and we wanted to see NOLA as well as take a cruise. We had previously sailed on the Norwegian Spirit on an Alaskan itinerary and loved it, so I didn't hesitate to book another Norwegian cruise. This ship is not the Norwegian Spirit, but there were aspects that I enjoyed: 1) The crew-- they were helpful and kind. They did ...

So, my new wife and I wanted to celebrate our 1st year wedding anniversary. We are in older years my wife 64, and me 72. we booked our trip 7 months in advance, of our anniversary. As we live in NW Florida, New Orleans was our departure point. We travelled the day before to be within a 20-mile radius of our day of our departure. Little did we know that our trip was in Spring Break. boarding was ...

First cruise with Norwegian. We’ve taken 3 others on Celebrity & Carnival. There were some good things about the cruise but many others that left us thinking it was just an average experience. Tot seems to depend on what you want. For kids maybe a good ship. If you like many nicer dining experiences maybe a good choice. If you like the loud pool scene they offer that. For us those aren’t ...

We chose the NCL Breakaway because we were in New Orleans for Mardi Gras and have sailed NCL many times before. It’s a beautiful ship but the venues are not capable of handling the number of passengers on board. The showroom is smaller than those on smaller ships and required reservations on the only floor show twice on two days during the week. The show BURN THE FLOOR was good but it was ...

We took this cruise for a quick get away. I have been cruising Carnival for years. This is an older ship but that does not bother me. Any day at sea is better than being home. I had 2 major issues on this cruise. 1st issue my linen on my bed was dirty. There were 6 layers of mattress pads sheets and a topper. I slept hard the first night and pulled my sheets off of the bed and that is when I ...

Cabin is clean but small and a bit dated. Quality professional entertainment almost non existent or in too small venues for such a large ship Food Ok, neither bad nor something to write home about. Servers and cabin attendants friendly but over worked. Some of the admin staff could be friendly. STOLE $41 from me. Charged us for 24 bottles of water we received and the same day ...

This is my second cruise. I’m not an expert. My first cruise was a 4-day Mexico vacation on Royal Caribbean (RC). My wife and I wanted to get away. We picked Norwegian gateway out of New Orleans to go to the Caribbean. Embarkation day went smoothly, we picked a 2:30PM time slot and it took about 15 min between arriving at the terminal and getting on the ship. Our room (regular balcony) was ...

Understaffed and limited menu

I have sailed Norwegian several times and and enjoyed our trips. We found that the ship was understaffed in the dining room, and at the bars. The ship was full and it does not appear NCL planned for the volume of people. I rarely saw any any bar servers. The bartenders were often overwhelmed in the atrium. The dining room was slow for every meal. The food was hit or miss with some excellent ...
