Getaway, March 18th - the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
"I booked about 4 weeks prior and only saw the change in Orlando from overnight to just a day (which I was happy with but felt bad for those who strategically planned Disney trips).I had booked this before I even boarded knowing we had 4 sea days on this sail, and that Orlando and Nassau were not ports I was interested in getting off at...."Read More

We are a couple in their mid-fifties and had abandon NCL for 7 years after a series of decline of experience with them. We chose to come back because of a need for departure from NY. The itinerary was 10 days Bermudas, Bahamas and Port Canaveral. We couldn't go to GSC because of very strong winds. That is ok because safety is the priority ans I totally respect that. The good part: food had ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

I have never cruised before, and I took the 8-night cruise out of New York to the Bahamas and Florida with an experienced cruiser as my companion because the travel dates on this Norwegian trip worked for our schedules and we could avoid flying to the departure point in Manhattan. I had low expectations, but Norwegian still managed to be a complete disappointment. Embarkation was pretty orderly ...

Wished I had read NCL reviews before booking our cruise. This was only our second cruise. First cruise was with Royal Caribbean and had nothing but great memories from it. Food was fantastic and the Port calls and overnights that were signed up for were provided as expected. Maybe due to our previous experience on the RC cruise and being kind of green with cruises we were shocked to see ...

Back from an 8 day sail from NYC to FL/Bahamas. Here’s the Good, Bad, and Ugly. For some background, this was my 23rd sail with NCL, my 24th cruise overall. The majority of my NCL’s are reviewed on here. I had a family balcony on deck 13, traveling solo. The Good: Service by the crew was excellent. Hearing rumblings online with the change to once a day cleaning, I found my steward ...

We always cruise NCL. This trip was special because 2 of my children had never sailed before. As usual the food was great. We did three specialty dinners. Cagney's, Morderno and Ocean Blue. We enjoyed the Cafe in the morning before going to the spa. The spa is a must for us. It is so relaxing and no matter what the weather is we have full access all day. The staff through out the ship are ...

Full Disclosure, I do currently own stock in Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH), though to be blunt this is not a positive review and I likely won’t be sailing with NCL in the future (for details keep reading). As much as I would love to recommend this company and this ship (for my own personal financial benefit), I simply cannot. I had some major issues along with many, many minor issues ...

We went on this cruise because it was going to stop in Florida for a day and a half so My Wife could see her Sister. Well we were supposed to get in Port Canaveral by 1pm didn't get there until 10pm. So those plans got ruined. Next we went to their island in the Bahamas. We were supposed to to Bermuda from there and that got screwed over some excuse. There idea was to go to Nassau for the day. Ha! ...

This was the worst cruise me and my husband have ever been on... and that's of many! We cruised with a parent, us, a teen and baby. The cruise ship is very poorly designed. Way too many people and not enough seating ANYWHERE We traveled during March break which we expected to be busy.. this was a whole new level. Forget being able to see a show or go to a specialty resteraunt if you didn't book ...
