Cruise to Nowhere Cruise Reviews

The ship was so big, but that means there was so much to do! I was on during the inaugural season and there were quite a few kinks to be worked out. The decoration was beautiful, art was great. Entertainment was a little cheasey, but the ice shows are not to be missed. The food was wonderful and if you have a waiter names Merik, you will be in good hands!

Here is what I found to be terribly unhealthy, the glassware in my room was not cleaned and was just put back in place with white paper caps on them as if they were clean. I know this because when I started my cruise I poured some water and saw there was lipstick on the glass and then AFTER THE ROOM WAS MADE UP BY THE ROOM STEWARD, THE SAME, USED, LIPSTICKED GLASS, WAS PLACED BACK IN THE COUNTER WITH ONE OF THOSE PAPER CAPS ON IT, indicating it was a clean glass when it was just, I guess wiped off(how clean could the rag be). How long it was and how many people drank water out of that glass next to the ice bucket I do not know, what I know for a fact is that a dirty glass was placed back as clean. Also there were other dirty things about my room but nothing as disgusting as used drinking glasses!!

Royal Caribbean as always been the trailblazer in ship design innovation and the Quantum is no different. From the North Star to the Robot Bartenders everything rings technological innovation.

I have been on other cruises and was really looking forward to going on this one with 25 friends. This was such a disapontment. The food was horrible and to get a drink of anything took at least 1/2 hour. The staff had no idea what they were doing. The only place you could smoke besides outside, was the Casino, so that is where everyone went whether they were gambling or not. The Freestyle dining is a joke. I would not sail on NCL anytime in the future unless they got thier act together.

This ship is spectacular!

wait time at port was over 2 hours, 2 lines, latitudes, and first timers...the first timers actually got on before us. went to super at 6 :30, the italian resteraunt, we were told next seating was at 8:45, we saw lots of tables vacant, we were told they had tables but not enough help. went to the casino, my husband and 3 others waited over one hour to be paid off, 1 person was working, fixing machines, paying off etc. i ordered a coke at the bar...went to pour coke int0 the glass and noticed lipstick stains on the rim...went to the bar to exchange glass bartender could not find a clean glass...he went in back and cleaned the one i had...had breakfast the next morning....waited over an hour to be served...and my toast was cold...we overheard waiter telling a talble of 6 that they did not expect the crowd....all we heard was complaints even from travel agents. one person had been on 32 cruises and said this one did not even come on the bottom... portions of food was small....menu was not good....this actually was a trial to see what the ship was like going to bermuda...we have been on the majesty to bermuda 5-8 times. the dream had bigger staterooms but overall service, size etc was well below the majesty. we really felt bad for people who have booked the boston bermuda ...oh another thing....i bought a carton of cigs, and a shirt and had to pay duties and taxes on them....i guess they decided to do this the last minute,,,we were told because we did not go to a port we had to pay the duties and taxes...this was a cruise to nowhere...lastly...boat drill was a joke...there were not enough life jackets so people just walked away...good thing we never encountered an emergency. this was the ship the dream.we sailed on a 3 day cruise to nowhere out of boston on may 9-11...i do not reccomend this ship.

Overall impression is very good. I like four and five star facilities, so I am picky. The ship looked new, clean and impressive. We had a balcony, and I highly recommend paying for it..it gives extra space and adds to the experience. We had two children with us, the coach was turned into a double bed each evening and was quite comfortable. I beleive we paid a bit extra for an extra 20 square feet and the assurance of a pull out. The room was very comforatble and there was plenty of space for our clothes (we had five suitcases)!.

Myself and my daughters 21 & 16 had been on many cruises in the past but never with Norwegian.A family member

had taken a cruise with this line and gave it such great reviews I decided to try it for myself.  I must admit the boarding process was awful. As I stated previously myself and my daughters have gone on many cruises in the past but I have never experienced such displeasure boarding a ship.  The wait time and the way in which the boarding was conducted was very disorganized.  Once we were on board (3 hrs later) we found the ship to be a great experience.  If not for the boarding experience I would have given this a 3-4 star rating. The only complaint my girls had besides the wait was the ice cream.  They say its not as good as other cruise lines and they didn't like the fact that they could not get it themselves.

was a beautiful ship the staff on board was the best, when things get cancelled they need to commucate better with the passengers, over all this was the best cruise i have been on.

The Jewel is a beautiful ship. The wood grains were awesome and the immediate greeting with Champagne was AWESOME. I thought my vacation was off to a fine start. Unfortunately, once I was in my room, the expectations were turned upside down. My room had two inches of dust, leftover trashcans from the prior guest and only one set of towels for my husband and I. (We like to take 2 showers a day and needed more towels). We asked for additional towels and they were collected when the cabin steward came to do the turn down service. We had to ask several times for towels. I guess they were having a laundry problem and towel shortage. Maybe that's why there were no towel animals. We preordered a cake and it was beautifully decorated. However, it appeared stale and again had no take. I was quite disappointed. The chocolate covered strawberries were very nice though.

The boat was unbelievable! Everything was so perfect and beautiful..... I couldn't believe! I was amazed with everything! There were lots os things to do, to eat, nice music to listen to, the show at the theater was awsome..... everything was so pleasant! We got this one night cruise as a gift and now we can't wait to come back for a 7 day cruise aboard the same boat. I have no words to explain....

Being the first cruise I have ever been on I do not have alot to reffrence. But, I can tell you this, when it came to service and luxury this is not the place. The ship is outdated. The crew was not in sync. The food quality was poor. This made all of the passangers angry.It was just a horrible time. Glad that it is over.

The room was tiny. The hall smelled like raw sewerage, when a crew member was asked about the smell he said "It always smells like this". No room service, didn't freshen up the cabin, had to call and ask for additional towels, no turn down service, sporadic TV channel. Bowling ally was closed "Private Party" . Had to pick up items purchased at the shops the morning of departure from the shop. Waited on line fro 40 minutes. Annoying staff saying "Washie, Washie" always wanting to spray hand sanitizer every time you walked near a food area.

We have been cruising for 3 years now solely on NCL.  This is our 5th cruise.  We went on Breakaway for a friend's birthday.  

Pros:

* Food very good, especially freestyle

* Rock of Ages was great

* Staff was above average, but seemed tired

* we had overall a good time

Cons:  Generally, the space was very crammed and I wonder if they took away public spaces for more cabins...

* Fitness club very small (compared to Epic)

* Le Bistro (the best restaurant) situated in a closet space

* Bliss was too small

Again, overall a good trip but I would have been clausterphobic had I gone for more than 2 nights.  Can't  imagine the 12 day cruises on this ship...  Won't go on it again.  I would recommend the Epic.  

Quantum of the Seas  proved to be a wonderful experience. I really enjoyed checking in because it went so quickly.  We tried I-FLY and it was an amazing experience sky-diving simulation.  Our balcony was great. The stateroom was loaded with storage. The food was delicious and elegantly prepared. We enjoyed the shows and the bumper cars, and the NorthStar. I highly recommend this ship. It is beautifully designed, there's lots of restaurants and there are lots of activiities to participate in. We were never bored! All the bartenders  made great martinis! The ship is just gorgeous.

I recently took a Cruise to Nowhere out of Boston and it left a lot to be desired. The food was good but the staff was unfriendly and slow. I can't find anything else positive to say about it.

This was a very short cruise, but overall, I thought this was a beautiful ship -- very classy -- larger and even more elegant than the Norwegian Sun and Dream, which I've also sailed on. I have noticed a difference, however, in the amount of "free" amenities since I last cruised four years ago. It seems a lot of things/services have been cut down on, or are now charged for.

This was my second time in a few months we were on The Norwiegan Dawn.The ship was beautiful.Everything was perfect.Couldn't have asked for a a better way to spend the weekend.

Everything aboard met my expectations.  Staff was excellent in service and friendliness.  Very serious problems with the quality of food especially the food served on the buffets.  Otherwise had a great adventure with many friends.

the weekend cruise did not offer to much fun, the bars were packed and it took way too long just to get a drink. they ran out of budlight before we left.
