Transatlantic Cruise Guide

Overall we loved our first cruise great room and good food

Relaxing 14 day crossing. Lecturer, a forensic geologist, made the trip for us. There are very few children on a crossing, yet most of the television and theater movies are children's movies, which makes no sense.

Don’t use Norwegian period Medical facilities are a rip off $6,000.00 to be traated for a cold The ship arrived from previous trip with a gastritis epidemic affecting pax’s and crew Lack of sufficient crew on next trip since they drop the sick in Barcelona

The worst experience of my life on vacation ... First time using this cruise line and the experience was shocking ... never in my life had I had to make so many lines ... disastrous activities or would have to be paid ... disastrous television ... they charge you up to the movies. If you are going to play billiards, bowling and other activities you have to pay them extra ... they charged me tips twice on the bill and there daily. They never send a statement. They never send instructions for the process of taking bags last night (or even a regular customer), luggage tags have to go to pick them up for customer service (and guess that; because nobody told me). Many arrogant employees and show performers do not even say ... anyway ... I will never use this line again ... The only good thing is meals, cleanliness and hygiene ...

We enjoyed the ship itinerary and all the onboard activities and shows very much. Also the personnel generally do a good job of handling so many many people. Expecially the dining room staff were very nice, attentive and professional. We enjoyed those aspects of the cruise. The cabin small but the bed very comfortable. And a really nice balcony. On the other hand, It was very slow coming onto and getting off the ship (mostly Embarkation/Disembarkation.....not so much in the ports of call). Very little communication on the Embarcation and Disembarkation process. Guest Services was nice but uncoordinated with some of our issues (with the squeeling noise). We've only been on one other smaller NCL Jade, which we did enjoy a lot. I'm not sure if this ship is just too big. Or we had some bad luck. We like NCL but would have to think twice before going on a similar ship.
