Half the service twice the gratuities

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Norwegian Joy

This was our 2nd time on the Joy the first time in Haven this time balcony plus. Which is bigger bathroom. Overall the ship was clean after the 3 week drydock. Due to weather and rough seas we spent most of our time inside. The activities were very limited and usually basic bean bag toss, language lessons and trivia in the atrium. Then there were the usual art, bingo, and other extra charge games. ...

11 Days at Sea, Right Out of Dry Dock

My wife and I sailed a Transatlantic cruise after the Joy came out of a 3-week dry dock. We have sailed 30-35 times, mostly on Celebrity and Azamara. Last NCL sailing was 2016. This specific crossing was 60% of capacity. The ship was clean and well maintained. Crew is ever present. The only location showing a bit of on-going construction was the area of the 24 newly-installed cabins where a ...

Pleasant but lackluster

We had an unexpected two weeks off and asked our travel agent to find a good deal for a cruise. The travel agent found a Norwegian cruise on the Norwegian Star leaving Southampton on October 23, 2023. We had never sailed with Norwegian before and were open to trying it out. We've sailed previously with Carnival, Celebrity, Oceania, Princess and Royal Caribbean. We have not cruised since 2018 so we ...

Booked a European cruise that sailed out of Southhampton in October. First the good. The meals were good. The Garden Cafe buffet was actually good with a variety and selection that pleased multiple tastes. We also enjoyed the the food at Cagney's and Moderno. They make good food for specialty diners. The crew were very friendly and attentive to doing great service in housekeeping, food, ...

Good cruise - Service and quality lacking in some areas

NCL has been the company of choice in the past due to it's freestyle policy and overall quality and after a patient wait following 3 cancelled cruises due to covid and the war in the Ukraine we were eager to sail again. Over this time costs have inevitably gone up as have the gratuities (more than 100% since our last cruise in 2017). Now we more or less expected this under the current climate but ...

This was our sixth transatlantic cruise, the second on the Getaway and our eighth overall on an NCL vessel. Our cruise and the Getaway were par-for-the-course meeting expectations. No surprises or unexpected disappointments...It's one of the big ships with all the competitive bells & whistles. The staterooms & bathrooms are clean, somewhat spacious, comfortable and practical. A shortage of ubs ...

Good Enough Cruise

I liked the itinerary and looked forward to a smaller ship than I usually sail. This would be my 8th cruise all of them with NCL. Found the ship attractive, peaceful and calming. Neutral colors were used throughout the ship. Had an inside cabin and I found it comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well for the most part. Ate exclusively at the Garden Cafe and found it very ...

We love NCL, Sapphire level 20+ cruises, however, this cruise was pretty bad. 1- Cruise management Many problems could have been prevented with better management. With 10+ busses returning from excursions at lunchtime the main dining room was closed . This created a chaotic situation at the Garden Cafe and the Irish Pub with no seating available. Assigning excursions to busses was also ...

False Advertising about Ports/Excursions

Review for a Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise on Norwegian Getaway

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

I chose this cruise because of the ports it advertised to visit: Paris, Bordeaux, Brussels and Amsterdam, also included Hamburg. Once I booked and tried to get excursions, I was told they were full, no longer available. For Paris, I had to book with an outside travel site because they had nothing available. During the cruise, they canceled on the actual day 3 excursions to Brussels, Hamburg and ...

I have been on quite a few cruises and never had poor enough experiences to feel the need to write a review to inform others of what they might be getting into, until now. With other cruise lines, they personalize your experience and make you feel welcomed aboard like you are part of their family and they have been expecting you. This was not the case with Norwegian. They could NOT care less about ...
