"Instead, she talked about how her journey to being the line's young female Cruise Director (which really put off some of the other passengers) and only made sales-related announcements trying to get us to buy crap from the spa or whatever.Onboarding was fast and easy (though some of that might have to do with us showing up at 3PM shortly before the ship took off)

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary, sailing dates, and to use a 20% discount certificate that was issued by NCL due to canceling the Epic's winter Mediterranean sailings. The terms were rather restrictive and this sailing qualified. We booked about 3 months ahead, so we were within the final payment date and could only use one CruiseNext certificate. NCL would not budge on this, despite ...
Loved the destinations but the ship and amenities were terrible. The only great things onboard were the dancers and singer shows. What’s the good thing about using food clips to pickup your food when most people are coughing in their hands? There has to be a better way of serving. The wines were the cheapest I ever had. The package they sell is worthless. NCL has skimped on all their services even ...
We were a family of 4 (husband and I in a midship club balcony suite and my 86-year-old mother-in-law and young sister-in-law a little further along the corridor in adjoining forward club balconies). We had three nights in Tromso pre cruise at the Clarion Collection With hotel – we have stayed here before for four nights in early 2020 in a quest to see the Northern lights and it is warm and ...
For perspective, this was my first time cruising on Norwegian, and I have cruised previously on Celebrity, Princess, Royal Caribbean and Carnival. My husband and I found a fantastic last minute deal on the Norwegian Star for a Norway/Iceland cruise during Aug./Sept. 2023. Given the low price we paid, and given my incoming lower image of Norwegian, I was very pleasantly surprised overall at the ...
Given the reviews here was expecting the worst, but overall it was actually quite ok. Given the amazing ports and more than reasonable price, I am pretty satisfied in the end.
Itinerary: Reykjavík to Tromso via Svalbard. 3 days at sea which was a good break between all the excursions. 3 of the ports were tendered - but only the very first one was somewhat chaotic. The only issue was that they ...
I chose this cruise due to the itinerary, including Greenland, The Lofoten Islands of Norway, and The Shetlands. Before the cruise even began, Greenland and the Lofoten ports were dropped with no explanation, and the Shetland stop was canceled after we had literally arrived. There were supposed to be no sea days, but we ended up spending 20% of the cruise on sea days. Absolutely nothing to do on ...
The cruise originally had a stop in Greenland, but somewhere between inquiring and booking, this stop was removed from the itinerary which was somewhat disappointing.
There are television screens in a lot of the bars that play a 24 hour sports channel. This would have been worth an extra point, but in none of the bars did they allow the volume to be on. Given the programming of the sports ...
We recently had a very disappointing cruise on the NCL Star in July 2023. We have been on many NCL cruises dating back to 1996 on the Seaward and we have come to like a great many things about NCL cruises. One of the best was on the Jewel in 2019 to Australia and SE Asia. NCL has been one of our favorite cruise lines.
Our disappointment with our cruise to Iceland and Norway in July 2023 began ...
I chose this cruise due to its itinerary that would sail from Iceland to Greenland. We did not visit one port of call in Iceland and two ports in Greenland to weather conditions. Norwegian Cruise Line should be well aware of the weather conditions in these areas of the world. If the weather conditions do not allow visit of these ports even during the summer Norwegian should not plan these ...
Iceland, Greenland, and all the icebergs were beautiful to see and great to experience. With a full ship, the additional sea days did make us ready to get off. I also felt bad for the crew that did not get as many breaks from us. We missed 2 ports due to icebergs and 1 due to too rough to tender. The Captain noted that they looked at ice charts for the last 10 years and never saw that much ice at ...
