Overall good experience on my wife and I 2nd NCL cruise. Surprisingly very friendly staff made up for some minor flaws in the overall experience. No matter what cruise lines we vacation with, each has its pros/cons. Pros: - Boarding around 12:30 pm was pretty swift and was on the ship pretty early. - Friendly staff throughout the week - Self-exit with our luggage around 7:30 AM was ...

1) No drinking water provided, force you to buy their extra expensive sparkling water, spring water and alkaline water. They don't allow you to bring water or any drinks back to the shop when you go on store. 2) the room has stinky drainage smell, our bathroom drainage was a little clogged and drained very slowly. On the last day of the cruise, when all rooms were opened for cleaning, a strong ...

We were blown away as to how much Norwegian appreciates military passengers (active, Vets and retirees).  They had a private cocktail party in Syd Norman's.  We privately met with the captain, senior officers, cruise director, etc.  They really made us feel special.  Did you know Norwegian offers you 10% off your cruise?  Don't forget to sign up for this added benefit. The cruise was great; we ...

Last minute solo cruise

This was my 3rd cruise with NCL. I decided to take advantage of a last minute deal for a much needed solo break. Overall, the cruise was in line with my expectations and what I experienced on previous sailings with NCL. I got a basic inside cabin on the 12th floor. The decor is a bit dated but the cabin was quiet, comfortable and spacious enough for me. The steward Christian was ...

Another great cruise on the Escape

This was my second time on the Escape this year and I noticed many improvements and a few minor disappointments. We did the Caribbean cruise in February and although fun, the ship was packed with many, many pool chair hogs and loud drunks. The staff was friendly then but on this recent cruise, which was an older quieter crowd, the staff was downright gleeful. I heard singing, whistling and so many ...

Previous sailing on NCL traveled exclusively on NCL for decades . This was last terrible Cut out cabin service and had no working toilet for hours. Reservations for speciality dining impossible to get. Lines to speak with anyone at desk long. Entertainment fair. The staff is wonderful but corporate has made so many cuts in past perks and buffet choices that it’s not the NCL I traveled for ...

I chose this cruise for the itinerary and dates of travel. Ports of call were all wonderful, we the exception of St John, NB. No excursion is required in any of the ports (except St John) if you’re willing to walk a bit, or navigate public transport. St John doesn’t have a much to offer after a quick wander and visit tot he old market. Might be worth an excursion to Hopewell Rocks… Escape - ...

We just finished the Norwegian Escape this week. We were very disappointed overall. We usually cruise with Royal Caribbean and thought they would be comparable. We did not find that to be the case at all. Let’s start with the positives. The cruise itinerary was pretty phenomenal. We loved 4 out of the 5 stops we made. Newport Rhode Island was a darling and phenomenal stop. We would love to ...

We recently embarked on a 7-night Canada & New England cruise on the NCL Escape, departing from New York City on October 15, 2023. We had read some negative reviews prior to our trip, which left us with apprehensions, but I'm thrilled to share that our experience was nothing short of exceptional. I promised myself I would write a detailed and positive review for those like me, looking for updated ...

Hi All, This was our first NCL cruise and choose it because of the itinerary. Everything went as expected wrt ports and ship excursions were of a high quality (possibly a bit chaotic on the pier especially in Halifax but as it was hailing this could be expected - would have liked NCL to advise passengers before disembarking as many would have waited rather than clogging the terminal to ...
