Review for a Mexican Riviera Cruise on Norwegian Bliss

If you don’t know any better, you may find yourself enthusiastic about NCL, but if this is the case, you are missing out! I am currently aboard the Bliss on a 7 day Baja cruise and I will tell you what to expect or what to avoid. For starters, the embarkation process is a zoo. It’s sad to say, but don’t come when you are scheduled, come way later in the day and here is why. First, there are so ...

Ship is very tired

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Pearl

We sailed on the Pearl since it hosted a musical cruise we were interested in. Our balcony cabin on the 9th deck was clean and the bed was comfortable but several maintenance issues were very apparent. We noticed torn wallpaper near where a coat hook had been installed and a light fixture looked liked it had been bounced around a bit and could have used a replacement with something that wasn’t ...

Disaster

Ship was over 4 hours late departing. Check in was a disaster, took 3 hours of waiting in lines to board the boat. Also, parking was $315 for the week. Food is beyond terrible. I ate oatmeal and cereal everyday. We even ate at a speciality restaurant, ocean blue, and our meals were disgusting. People next to us were sending them back as well. Savory, taste, tropicana all of the included ...

Cost- cutting evident; tired ship

6-10 Cruises • Age 40s

We took my parents for their birthday on the Norwegian Sun…they live in Florida and wanted to sail out of Miami or Ft Lauderdale. I had limited vacation time, and didn’t have many other options to book, so this cruise checked the boxes. We normally sail on Azamara or Celebrity, so we kept an open mind for NCL, knowing it might be a different product. We knew it would be an older ship, but as ...

Trust me don't go on the Epic

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Epic

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

We have cruised multiple times with multiple cruise lines this was such a disappointment to our group of 10 and a 16 month old. I will make this easy to review: 1. Long waits for everything 2. Since the casino is so large and covers so much of the 6th floor on the boat there is a constant smell of cigarette smoke on the floors above and below. 3. The kiddy pool is the size of a blowup ...

Great food; no private areas outside to get away from the noise

Mid ship / Deck 9 Balcony Room Pros: Excellent / Great food (all beef is angus beef) - never over cooked as we experienced both times on Royal Caribbean. By far the best food on any cruise line we've experienced. Excellent customer service No seasickness due to captain/pilot's experience on large swells on last day of cruise No lines for Starbucks Cons: *No place to get away ...

Do not sail on NCL!!!

Review for a Hawaii Cruise on Pride of America

10+ Cruises • Age 40s

I have been on 14 cruises (4 Disney, 4 NCL, 3 Carnival, 2 Tradewinds catamarans, and 1 Costa). I am most disappointed with NCL. The service has gotten worse. I do like the NCL’s ports I’ve sailed (Bermuda, Mexican Pacific, Western Caribbean and Hawaii) but I would have had a better experience visiting those ports with another cruise line, or even sticking to resorts and getting a rental car. As ...

Great food and fun

This was my first Norwegian cruise an I enjoyed every minute. The cruise staff was excellent and so accommodating and friendly . I’ve been on over 12 cruises and I have to say, it’s the best so far. The food was excellent with so many delicious choices. I looked forward to hopping up to the bar at Spice H20. Jerry and Vitas were the most fun and friendly bartenders I ever met. They were so ...

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Joy

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

We chose Norwegian Joy because we'd been on another NCL cruise and enjoyed the experience. As Midwesterners, we wanted to escape the end of winter, so booked in md-March. The "Free at Sea" benefits made it attractive and affordable. We felt we did great research--on Cruise Critic and other sites--and thought we could deal with the consistent negative comments about the crowding, bottlenecks, ...

Overall a great ship. Brand new. Food on board was delicious. Drinks were well prepare most of the time everywhere, beer on the other hand can be colder for my taste. The game room and go karts were spectacular. Entertainment for example the betelgeuse show was wayyyyy to long. Half way half of the people were sleeping and other already left. Total.of 1 hours and 45 min... almost 2 hours i think ...
