Hello, I have never written a review like this, EVER. Actually in over 30 cruises this may be the second one. We are Sapphire Latitude status, that’s a lot of NCL cruises. We did a back to back. June 3 - 15 Port Canaveral to Lisbon, 12 nights - June 15 - 24 Lisbon to Rome, 9 nights. BA Balcony cabin, room was a good location and we enjoyed it. Room steward was nice. NCL has stopped the ...

We chose this cruise because of the Atlantic crossing then stayed onboard beyond Lisbon for the destinations in the Mediterranean (21 day cruise, total). My wife and I are Sapphire members with NCL. We hadn’t cruised with NCL for about 2 years. We have been experiencing the decline of many aspects of NCL cruising for the last 6 or 7 years. Their customer service and food quality has been declining ...

Destinations was top of mind as we explored the many choices of cruise lines. A Caribbean cruise was our top choice with as many ports as possible. Norwegian Cruise Line Getaway offered a 9-day cruise to the Dominican Republic, Saint Thomas, Saint Maarten, Antigua, San Jaun Porta Rico and of course the NCL private island in the Bahamas. With only 2 full days at sea, it seemed the best value for ...

We chose this cruise to try the NCL brand, the itinerary, and felt at the time, it was a good price. We enjoyed the size of our cabin and the view. We were in an accessible cabin (137** forward) due to my husband having mobility issues. With that being said, we were too far from the elevators and with items almost always left in the narrow hallways, my husband had to fold up his walker many times ...

My husband and I traveled with our two adult children, our son-in-law and our two grandchildren.There were 7 of us in three cabins. If I add up what everyone spent on this trip it probably came close to $26,000 not including air fare, hotel, and personal expenses. If I add that in it was closer to $30,000. We had a 2 bedroom Haven cabin and the grandchildren stayed with us, one adult child had a ...

I have been on over 20 cruises. I love cruising. I have cruised on Celebrity, NCL, Princess, RCL, Windstar and Carnival. I picked this cruise because of the ports. Puerto Rico, St Thomas, St Kitts, St Lucia (was replaced with Dominica) Antigua, Barbados and Dominican Republic. It was a twelve-day cruise, and I traveled solo in a club balcony room. There was a solo group meet up each night at ...

Change of Itinerary Was A Big Deal for Many Passengers; Major Step Down In Buffet Quality

This was our second cruise on NCL. The first (to Mexico early last year) was so positively memorable that we really looked forward to the Getaway cruise leaving NYC on New Year's Day. However, our experience with this Getaway cruise could not be more negative. I am very surprised that the other reviews of this sailing were not universally negative. First, the change in itinerary. We believe that ...

We chose this cruise as a Christmas vacation. We would’ve had a better staycation. The ship is beautiful and the staff is very friendly and helpful. NCL packs their guests onto the ship like sardines in a can. Freestyle cruising this is not. The venues aren’t large enough to accommodate big groups of people. Any of the entertainment you have to make reservations for. The cuisine onboard is sub par ...

First the pros; the show, the Million Dollar Quartet was really good. The staff was mostly friendly and helpful and the ship was very clean and modern. There are small dining rooms that are included which was nice. We only ate in the main dining room once. They had full-service lunch each day so you didn't have to eat at the buffet. Now the cons; The layout of the ship was terrible, we were ...

From the first time stepping on the ship we had a poor experience. Our luggage arrived after four and a half hours of being onboard the ship. Once it did it was damaged. We had brand new bags and both had rips all over them and the large bag now has a broken wheel. The buffet food was better then other cruise lines I had been on up until I went to the restaurants and learned that it was the ...
