We are platinum members, and this cruise was a nightmare. First, we always get a handicap room, since my husband is very unsteady and uses a walker. Upon arrival, we were booked a regular inside room, which, means the bathroom has a step up and a very small shower. Our agent assured us he booked us a handicap room. Went to guest services and no rooms were available. Entertainment was terrible! ...
First of all, Boston is not a great port. I would never sail out of there again. It was crowded and disorganized for embarkation.
We were listed to register from11:30 to 12:00 which meant nothing. I would encourage others to register after 2:00 because the wait is long. The staff, for the most part were great. Our room attendant was super. The dining room staff worked very hard and seemed ...
Sailed on a 5 day NCL cruise from NY to Bermuda. This was my 6th NCL cruise and definitely enjoy the NCL freestyle experience. This cruise was no different. As always with NCL we received the free at sea promotion and definitely took advantage of the drink package throughout. Bars were great- from the brew house, to the wine cellar, to the mojito bar and nightclub, was a great drinking 5 days ...
I have cruised NCL many times and have been on the Jade before. Things have changed with this cruise line. Customer service was not good. Could not get a water bottle or even a pad of paper and pen for the room. Was told this was only available for full suites and above, we had a balcony suite. Terrible entertainment with no real production show. Food in there free restaurants was awful. Again ...
This was my first cruise on Norwegian, but my 16th cruise overall. It was my favorite! The crew were ALL friendly, enthusiastic and fun. The food was good, service great, and the activities fun. Shout out to Patrick and Bruno (entertainment,) the waiters and bartenders from Topsider, Edwin and his fellow coffee singer, and Miss Washy-Washy! We bought 8 vouchers for CruiseNext and can’t wait to ...
We love NCL; this was our fourth cruise with them.
Started with a weather issue and Bermuda drop as a port; we did not find this out until we were in the check-in line. Not a problem, no one can control the weather!
With this change, our itinerary was reversed from the original plan. NCL service is great and one of the reasons we love it; helpful staff, nice and clean public areas, pool, ...
Embarkation was simple as the NCL app allows nearly all the steps prior to arriving. We arrived about 10 AM and since this was the first trip of the Alaska season, there were no passengers on the ship from a previous cruise. From baggage drop off to the waiting area was about 15 minutes. It would have been faster but it was clear that check in agents were being trained and were still learning the ...
The ship is overcrowded, and there is too much competition for everything on board including dining, elevators, and public spaces. We often have to wait for two or three elevators to find space. The breakfast food in the Garden Cafe doesn't change for seven days. We had to arrive by 6:30 a.m. to be able to find a table to sit. When ordering at a restaurant, the order takes a minimium of 45 to 60 ...
just got off the ship and had a fabulous time. we went to Alaska to celebrate our 30th anniversary..the crew was friendly and excited because it was the first cruise of the season. my first cruise as well. the food was delicious, the choices were plentiful as well as the drinks. we met people from all over the world and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy. everything was first-class and seemed to ...
Summary: FANTASTIC cruise and I would do this itinerary again in a heartbeat, but don't expect this to be a relaxing vacation.
About our group: 4 females celebrating a 50th birthday for one of us.
After reading some reviews, my expectations for the ship itself were low but I was pleasantly surprised to find it in really good shape- carpets don't appear worn, toilets all flushed fine (not ...
