The ship was only at 60% capacity, which made it very comfortable for all onboard. Plenty of space for everyone. Food was great. Would recommend the wine tastings for the at sea days. The shows were very interesting. The excursions that we opted for were all great. The Tastes of Maui was awesome, there were about 7 stops. Food was provided at them all. Not large servings but enough so that you ...
Like several other reviewers, we had sailed with Oceania on 5 occasions before the "pandemic" and rebooked based on those experiences.
This is clearly a company where the dead hand of remote corporate policy wonks is at work, setting procedures and practices on the ships with absolutely no clue of what going on at the operational, customer facing level. Penny pinching ad nauseum.
This was an ...
After thoroughly enjoying a New York to Bermuda cruise on NCL, we were hooked. Plans for a second cruise fell through so I was looking for our next opportunity. We were going to visit our daughter in Australia and decided to take the long way home. I saw a back to back cruise from Sydney to Tahiti and then Tahiti to Honolulu and booked it to experience the South Pacific — a place I dreamed about ...
Chose this cruise for the unique opportunity to see both French Polynesia and Hawaii, and the ports of call did not disappoint. What did disappoint was the lack of effort and variety that comprised activities while at sea. With 4 straight days at sea, we were hoping for a full option of things to do, but the daily itinerary was pretty much recycled from one day to the next. There were not a lot of ...
Excellent service on the ship. Small ship, not too many people, this is good. Too many giant screens, not necessary at all especially when listening to a band playing music. The band Hotwire is excellent, if you want to dance.
Disappointed that all communication are in English only. On other companies it is in multiple languages.
Food was just ok. Japanese and Italian restaurants ...
We were so excited to go on this cruise as it was our first family vacation in over 4 years. We have cruised several times before and have always had a positive experience. This was the first time we had gone on a cruise with Norwegian, but we had heard so many good things about this cruise line I didn't expect all the issues we had!
This was the first time I have travelled internationally ...
We used the NCL Promotional Air - Most everyone had to as there are only two scheduled flights to Tahiti per day. They got us to LAX then had 3 maybe 4 charter flights to Tahiti. Lucky for us we were on one of the latter flights that was maybe 2/3 full so we could spread out. The seats in the economy section of the “Air Tahiti Nui” Airbus A310 were most uncomfortable. We arrived with no ...
We both with Norwegian spirit to sail to Tahiti and Bora Bora and other Polynesian and Hawaiian Islands. The locations were gorgeous the cruise ship workers we're very helpful and friendly. Norwegian Cruise Lines and it's management left a very sour taste in our mouths. On day two they begin to run out of alcohol mixers and products such as pina colada which for a tropical island vacation is a ...
Tahiti to Hawaii inaugural cruise for this port and updated ship. They took up all passports and would not give back as stated till 6 days into cruise after visiting other countries. Forgot to load orange juice onto ship. No one knows anything. Told no daily puzzles or library area by ft desk. Wrong as a Multifunctional Room on top floor. Have canceled or changed over half of shore excursions ...
We have been cruising for a long time and we were really excited to try NCL, but it was quite disappointing, considering how much we paid and in comparation with other cruises.
To start explaining, they keep adding service charges for EVERYTHING, and the day before leaving we found out that they were also charging a room service charge: $16 per person, PER DAY. Considering how much we paid for ...
