We choose because of the itenery. Ship was very clean & crew very friendly. The food was horrible ! Corn & ham on pizza only 1 example. Entertainment I have seen better at high school level. Pool Entertainment was funeral music. They asked us to buy a cruise pkg of $3k upfront lump sum to guarantee them 12 cruises. NO! there was a port cancelation & the refused refund of the port fee. They ...
Just completed 20 days on the sun from Seattle to Fl. First off we had a penthouse i bedroom rear facing suite on the 10th floor that had a very large deck with two chairs and two loungers with thick and comfortable pads. The room was ok - the shower wad small to fit the 6 foot tub. The living room needed an extra chair and bigger table for eating on but we just bough in a deck chair. The bed was ...
This cruise was very disappointing. Of all my past 18 cruises this was the worst. I had sailed Norwegian twice prior to COVID and it was very good.
We were very disappointed in the lack of service and poor entertainment likely caused by Norwegians cost cutting measures.
Entertainment in the theatre was not enjoyable due to the lack of quality performances, repeated performances, and the ...
The cruise was chosen for destination and length of cruise I wasn’t sure how the 21 day cruise would be seeing I had not been on a ship for this lengthy duration. It was wonderful. I found with the longer cruise I never felt rushed to fit everything in or over schedule my time.
The Breakaway has far more outdoor deck space that can be enjoyed with relaxing furniture. There are outside ...
Booked short notice knowing this was the last sailing of the season, weather would likely be a factor, and port activities would be minimal. Figured we could enjoy the ship and view the wonders of Alaska in the fall. We previously cruised NCL Bliss in June 2022, Celebrity Millennium in May 2023 and visited each port but I had not seen Glacier Bay. I also thought fewer passengers would be onboard. ...
Its true that I dont have a lot of cruise experience and what I have (except for another cruise line in 2013) is post Covid but I am very puzzled about so many poor reviews of this ship. In my opinion, it was close to perfect. Yes, there were a few aspects about it that could have been improved. I will mention them throughout the review.
The hardest part of this cruise for me was trying to ...
First the good - food, service staff, and drink package included were all good to very good. Now the bad - WiFi was poor at best (non-existent most of the time). Tips were included and paid for as part of the package I booked (about $350 beyond the $1,800 for the cruise) but NCL now adds $20 per day per person for an additional almost $300 unexpected service charge that even my travel agent was ...
This was a bucket list cruise for me and my sister. Cruised to Alaska in late fall to hopefully see the northern lights and we did. We were told it was the best weather of the season, even though it was the last cruise of the season. We simple loved the convenience of the cruise, unpack once and enjoy everything the ship has to offer which was alot. We enjoyed some of the specialty ...
This was our 4th cruise and third since covid. Alaska does not disappoint and we will be going back. As far as Norwegian is concerned I will need a lot of convincing to try them again. Our room was dirty when we arrived Drawers covered in dust bunnies and they were still there when we left. There were items from the previous cruisers still in the room when we got there. We didn't meet the room ...
My nephew had a break at school so my sister took the opportunity to take him on vacation so she booked NCL Bliss.
I had no plans on joining them but my mother talked me into it so I can keep them company.
This turned out to be the best vacation of my life. We ate, drank, play, laugh ... it was fantastic.
Weather - cloudy and occasionally wet. Typical PNW weather at this time of year. ...
