April 2023 - 7 Night Western Caribbean (Tampa Roundtrip) Cruise on Norwegian Dawn

Old, poorly designed ship in good condition with poor food, but good service.

Wouldn’t pick this ship to sail on again. Worst buffet ever experienced on 26 sailings. O’Sheehans is great. Ate ther a lot since buffet was so bad. Norwegian is really cutting corners on food in MDR and specialty restaurants.

Good crew, but food, activities and shows poor.

Hadn't been on NCL for a year and they have definitely cut back on food quality. Their larger ship design is far inferior to RCL.

Okay cruise.

Dining room food was good, but buffet in Windjammer left something to desire. Dining staff were excellent in all dining areas. Cruise director's staff were not sincere. Prefer our other cruise on Norwegian to Royal Carribean for food and entertainment.

June 2015 - 7 Night Hawaii (Honolulu Roundtrip) Cruise on Pride of America

Adventure of the Seas

Sail date: August 26, 2023

The quality keeps going down

First Royal cruise in 9 months. Quality of food and entertainment have gone below standards expected and received on past Royal cruises. What has remained consistent is quality of staff. Royal seems concentrated and spending dollars on new, bigger ships designed for younger crowd and entice more on board spending. Will look to Celebrity and Norwegian before booking with Royal again.

Celebrity Edge

Sail date: July 13, 2021

Their balcony cabin design is absolutely the best

Captain was most personable and visible of any we have had. Her positive personality is reflected in her entire crew. Would I pay more for celebrity over royal or Norwegian? No

Norwegian Escape

Nice cruising with no crowds

Ship had only 1400 passengers due to Covid cancellations which made it nice with no crowds anywhere.

Majesty of the Seas

Sail date: October 14, 2019

Nice short, low cost trip

Good cruise for the money, but not one for someone wanting to experience all cruises have to offer as ship is old and doesn't offer much variety in dining and entertainment.

Norwegian Epic

Sail date: February 04, 2017

Never on the Epic again.

What a mess getting on and off this ship. Worst experienced in any of our cruises.

Food has gone on the cheap since our last Norwegian cruise. No lobster without an upcharge for the whole week. Only food in Cagneys rated top quality with us. Our mini-suite was a poor waste of space. Cleaning of cabin varied from 10 AM to 4 PM during the cruise. Main entertainment was terrible and offensive. Design of ship allows outside space only around the pools.
