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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Our 2nd cruise with NCL was a disaster. Staff were rude and miserable. Food was meh. Service at Taste and Savour was a disaster - service was so bad it took 2 hours to eat and we were late for events. They only cleaned our room once a day and our bunk beds remained in place - it was never cleaned until 4 pm everyday. Staff were rude!!! We were supposed to go to Bermuda but they took us to ...

Have sailed on NCL on 3 occasions and 2 other cruise lines as well. Had minor issues on previous cruises but nothing worth a negative review and had enjoyable experiences. This current one was terrible, from the food to thedelays and the confusion on board. You can tell the ship was way understaffed and the crew was exhausted trying to keep up with their responsibilities. But they still did their ...

This is my third Norwegian cruise, and it will be my last. Our itinerary changed several times before we sailed. They took away Virginia and added in Miami, then took away Miami. When we were at Cape Canaveral they added Miami back and took away Bermuda (weather related). The NCL application (9.95 per person) worked inconsistently. Everything I went to use it, I needed to disconnect and ...

My family choose this cruise line because it was for 12 days and the 7 ports of calls appealed to us. This was our 7th cruise so we were pretty familiar with how the cruise lines operated in general. The first issue I noticed was the odour in our stateroom the minute we were able to enter. I didn’t think much of it because I have a highly sensitive sense of smell. The odour carried into most ...

Awful experience from start to finish. Aftercare after booking was lackluster, cold and surly. I wont even go into the nightmare mess up they made with our flights, flying 4 of us separately on the same booking). We ended up booking and paying for our own airfare when NCL refused to change our flights, even though United Airlines said they would be happy to change our flights for free if NCL ...
