Cruise to Nowhere Cruise Reviews

1st and best cruise by CaptainCook01

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Oasis of the Seas / Destination: Cruise to Nowhere

Well I started on this cruiseship which I think now is totally cheating because this ship is like NO OTHER,well except the Allure it's sister ship.Its two ships combined into one and right when you walk on to the ship your mouth is to the ground.They have a rising tide bar that lowers and rises ,it's more novelty but insane.Every level you get off is like another cruise.The Pool deck to this day is still the biggest pool deck I've ever been on,Huge jacuzzis that hang over the side of the ship.Nightly entertainment was as good as NYC shows.They have a Central Park cafe that I ate lunch almost every day.Royal has the nice class to its ship and things that are free don't come off cheap.I compare Royal Caribbean to a Nice Marriott or Hilton.Food at night was very good and menu changes every night.Service was great.Cant find a thing to complain about ,getting off and on takes a lil bit and elevator rides are longer waits but overall would do it again   .Oasis is the real deal!!

Ship: Norwegian Breakaway / Destination: Cruise to Nowhere

Our first time cruising so,we did a short one. We loved it and would lime to do more little cruises like that just to get away from it all and not have to take much time off from work. Cant wait to do it again next year. Wish they had them in the,spring not just cold, months

Registration and dinner by Banigan

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Jewel / Destination: Cruise to Nowhere

Registering and getting on the boat took over an hour boarding 2 boats from the same line. Dinner in specialty restaurant very poor food cold finally left with out eating spoke to manager offered to bring out new dishes but by that time we had waited over 45 minutes. When we looked for another restaurant all were closed including the garden buffet. (It was changing over) went to bed without eating. Very disappointing.

My first cruise by NoelV

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Dawn / Destination: Cruise to Nowhere

Well my first impression of the ship was like any other first impression for a first timer. It was HUGE!! I've never set foot or even come near a cruise ship until my first voyage, so I was automatically impressed. Upon entering your room the staff instructs the passengers to participate in a mandatory life jacket drill in the theatre, after that the fun began. Everyone goes up to the very top deck and there is the most amazing barbacue with live music and of course drinks. Just so i won't spoit it for you I will just say that the food was great just don't over eat because you still have more food coming to you through out the day.I did the cruise to Nowhere which was for 1 night and I sure wish it was for much longer because I never really got to enjoy all that ship offers. My girlfriend and I stood in the Balcony stateroom and it was just perfect. It was great to have a room with your own balcony with patio furniture especially when you just want to sit outside in your own privacy and have a few drinks. The bed was pretty comfy, great sized bathroom every thing separated. You have your own fidge where you can store cold beers or whatever. For dinner my girlfriend and I went to cagney's steak house and the food and service was great. It was a specialty resturant which meant you had make a reservation and pay for the dinner but it was worth it. The service was a little slow at first but it was a full resturant and a full ship. After dinner we went to the casino played a few of the slots and won a little drinking money which was great. After digesting the food we both went to Dazzles night club and it was just a really fun night. They first had some karoke where you see random people make fools of themselves but afterwards they bring in a DJ and the real party starts. Non stop dancing, good crowd, and of course the non stop service. Every time my drink was empty someone from the ships staff was there to take care of it. At the end of our voyage to nowhere the ship serves a breakfast buffet of pretty much anything you can think of eating in the morning. Overrall my one night on the Norweigan Dawn was just the best. My girlfriend and I are now planning to do a real 5 day cruise. I recommend the one night cruise to anyone who has never been on cruise. It is a good way to experience what it is like before you commit to a longer 5 or 7 day cruise.

NCL stands for NO CASH LEFT by BrianP6

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Norwegian Majesty / Destination: Cruise to Nowhere

I hate to bore you all with the crazy details but this boat is a joke, go elsewhere! NCL hooks you on the "Freestyle" BS but in all actuality, without reservations for each and every meal, you'll stand in line the whole time waiting for an open table. More like Freestyle standing. Don't get me started on drinks... The wait staff is VERY pushy and would make excellent car salesmen. The drinks aren't really that good and the cost is north of ten bucks. But let's look at what IS included: Water, Coffee and Horrible Iced Tea, that is IT. And you have to go to the 10th deck to get it. Or, you can pay $2 for a soda? Or should you pay $63 for a sticker to get free sodas? (either way is a scam) Hey, I've got an idea, lets all play Bingo* (*Note, all players please pay $20.00 for a bingo card and we really don't tell you what the prize is until somebody wins) Kids Club staff is RUDE. Last thing I want to do is send my kids off to be with someone who could care less about their job let alone my kids. So when I went to complain at the front desk, they paged the manager of the department and guess what... It was the same person who treated me like crap. (Lets lead by example people) Lastly, to top it all off, "it's too windy to stop in Cozomel so we're just gonna go to Key West and skip this port". So I paid $200 per person in govt fees and port fees for this trip, and NCL only refunded me $11 per person for missing Cozomel. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Awesome cruise! by SherryM5

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Mariner of the Seas / Destination: Cruise to Nowhere

This was our second cruise. It had been 15 years ago that we cruisied on another cruise liner. Royal Caribbean is absoluty the best. I'm ready to go again after I recover from speading so much money on jewerly. HA! We met the nicest people, not only the crew but people from all over the world. We even ran into some friends from our home town. The food was awesome and the the head waiter (Jeffrey) and his assistant really took care of us. I also want to thank our excuration team in Jamacia......Victoria and the driver were the nicest and sweetest people I have ever met. A big thanks go to John Wayne and Curtis for the great Class Bottom Boat ride. Thank you Roayl Caribbean for a great 7 day cruise. Will see you again soon. Keep up the good work.

One-Night to bask in the Norwegian Dream by SherryM1

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Pearl / Destination: Cruise to Nowhere

The ship is a great combination of fun with the elegance of cruising. I really enjoyed the one night to get to see the ship, I highly recomment this for anyone that is not sure about a cruise. First, they must understand everything is not always this hectic. The room was very nice, but I did not like the closet placement next to the bed. Bathroom was amazing layout for a cruise ship. Very up beat color scheme ... Loved the ship will sail it again!

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Dream / Destination: Cruise to Nowhere

This was a 2day cruise to nowhere out of New York .the food on this ship was excellent.I loved the layout on this ship much better that any of the other carnival ships.They have a floor on this ship called dream street and on this floor they have the casino,shopping and the nightclubs;they also have on this floor a wrap around lanai that includes 2 hot tubs overlooking the sea,They do not have enough public space for the amount of peoplr on board esp. on the lido deck.

First and Last NCL Cruise by KerriE

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Norwegian Dream / Destination: Cruise to Nowhere

The entire experience was disappointing to say the least. Every aspect from service, food and amenities were lacking. As my first cruise, I expected much more and expected a 3 day cruise on this cruiseline to be their opportunity to court me as a future customer. They did the exact opposite. I wouldn't recommend this ship or this cruise line to anyone. I have attempted to issue a complaint with the company and even that has been a hassel.

OK but not up to Celebrity standards by JohnU1

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Constellation / Destination: Cruise to Nowhere

The onboard entertainment was the best that we have experienced on any ship. However when we boarded the Constellation at about 1:30pm on the 1st day we were told that our cabin was not ready yet. That was OK with us as we were able to have lunch on board. When we arrived at our cabin at about 3pm even though we were told that our cabin was ready it was not. It was obvious that many of the surfaces had not been properly cleaned as the were dusty. The drawers were not only dusty but had hair in two of them. The toilet had not been properly cleaned and the shower had visible mildew. It was relatively quiet in our stateroom until the last night when someone started to move furniture at about 2:30am resulting in a loud scraping sound. As there were no staterooms on the deck above us this very loud could only have been generated by the crew. Speaking of crew, they were certainly a very friendly group who tried very hard to provide excellent service to the guests. Overall it was certainly not the best cruise we have taken on Celebrity but nevertheless acceptable.

Two times going on Three! by GaleB

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Miracle / Destination: Cruise to Nowhere

My husband and I first went on this cruise in 2008.....great time. We booked a balcony but really did not need it since it was too cold in October to enjoy it. In 2009, I book two inside rooms for myself and 3 girlfriends. Again, we had a fantastic time. From boarding.....no lines to getting to our cabins which were next to each other. It was a good time to take in the shows and the various activities going on. I had a great time buying alcohol for the holiday and jewelry. I would recommend this cruise for anyone that has not experienced cruisin before. I am looking to book a 2010 cruise for my husband and I. The time of year is a good time for a trip. Don't think about it just "do it"!

Nice and Relaxing Cruise. by MirnaM1

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Miracle / Destination: Cruise to Nowhere

The carnival miracle cruise was a 3 day experience which was very cozy & just fun. The staff are just so dedicated & kind, made us feel very comfortable and appreciative to their hospitality. This was a great start to get us to try a longer cruise to somewhere. LOL! The ambience of the cruise was inviting and so very clean.

Inferior Dream by SusanJ6

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Dream / Destination: Cruise to Nowhere

The Dream was very unclean and smelled. Uncleanliness gave you the heebie- jeebie's. Food was not good either. Not alot of variety like on other Cruise lInes.
