San Juan to the USA Cruise Reviews

The ship was nice, but it is made for seniors. I am an active senior but I spent most of my time in the room. I paid for 3 excursions and got to do none of them. In all, I lost over $1000 on excursions. They are not worth it. Just shop in the city near the ship. When reporting the excursions, the manager insinuated that we were stupid and should have known and if we didn't, it showed that we had ...

We chose Explora because of their aspiration to be a lifestyle brand and I read other reviews saying children were not a problem on Explora - YMMV but wanted to let you know they were a problem on this cruise, and there are no policies in place that allow the staff to curb this issue (they recognise it as a problem but feel powerless to intervene). Perhaps it is just our sailing (29 December from ...

I love the crowd and vibe!!!! The entertainment was lacking, except for the Latin band they were good!!! Food horrible in the main, premium was just ok except for Le Bistro it was great. The ship is showing its age(sad to see) , my cabin was falling apart and I was sailing above the theater heard everything til 2am. Drinks were rushed and not good. Staff looked flustered. At 3pm housekeeping carts ...

I took the cruise from San Juan to NYC that was from Apr 14-22. Observations about the Epic: Despite having about 4000 people on it, the ship never seemed crowded. Majority of the times, when I was walking up/down the stairs they were empty. The only issue I noticed, was walking from one end of the ship to the other on the main decks 5,6, and 7 that had most of the public spaces - ...

We just returned from a repositional cruise on the NCL Epic, which departed from San Juan, PR on 4/14/23 and arrived in NYC on 4/22/23 after stopping at St. Kitts, Antigua, St. Marteen, St. Thomas and Amber Cover (DR). This was our 14th NCL cruise and 3rd since the restart. I traveled with my wife and we stayed in an inside room. Also, we cruised on the NCL Epic in 2014. Our cruise on the ...

We were excited to take a cruise that left from PR and ended in NYC. YES NCL cut their staff so you waited 30 minutes for a drink at the pool bar. YES the rooms are only cleaned once a day now. We tried to be understanding b/c everyone including the cruise industry lost money during Covid and had to try and make up money by making cuts. So we just went with the flow. Where we had a hard time ...

After doing two cruises pre-Covid we thought we’d try NCL for the first time. I probably won’t go back. Pros: Food was very good, liked how it sailed out of Puerto Rico (so got to spend a day/night prior to sailing), with the exception of the DR, all ports were great, and felt the ship was generally very clean. Also liked how it disembarked in NYC as the final port, although please read about ...

This was our fourth cruise. Cruised on the Epic from Puerto Rico to ST. Kitts, Antigua, St. Maarten, St. Thomas and back to New York. Sold out voyage with 4500 passengers. If you like crowds, lots of noise and lineups to get in to the restaurants then this is the cruise for you. Not enough elevators for that crowd and disembarking from the ship was a whole story of its own. Pilar in ...

My 3 year old had the time of her life, but I was disappointed. The Disney Oceaneer club for kids was fantastic and the nursery was also good. The adult entertainment and activities were awful. The buffet was better than average, but the main dining room, Pinocchio's Pizza, and the grill was bad to mediocre. If you don't have a rewards status on Disney, you can forget about booking any specialty ...

Overrated., oversold..dated ship.. staff unprofessional... unorganized.. not a luxury ship at all. From the moment we boarded the ship( had to carry our carryon ourselves) we sensed something was not right. Although the weather stopped us from going to most of our ports, the crew certainly did not make up for what was lost. Finally got us to Dominican Republic( not planned) and they planned ...
