Review summary

This will be short.....Cancel or rebook for a later date. Unfortunately we were not offered to only passengers a week later could. You will regret going with what is going on, even if you loose your money just cancel. They are not scanning passengers as they claim. No temps are being taken. People with cold symptoms coughing all over the place aloud to board. I wish I had never went. Just a short view of what was going on onboard...vomit all over the elevators they smelled badly even after there supposed cleaning. Coughing people everywhere! People fighting onboard. Same food being served everyday even in main dining rooms. How many times can one rename and eat beef stew and mashed potatoes! Nasty hotdogs, cold burgers and the same Indian food reheated everyday! I was surprised by this as our last sailing on NCL the food was great .

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It moved surprisingly fast, faster than before the Coronavirus. They never checked temps of anyone. The passports were not throughly check for the speed in which we all were moved. There were people with cold symptoms aloud to board coughing all over the terminal.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
The same food was served on the buffet and dining every day. This was a surprise as I ave ailed many of Norwegians ships and not experienced this. They also never changed the menu in the main dining it was the SAME menu no variety at all.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
We stayed in the room for the most part. The thermal suites we booked ended up being beyond full with coughing people all over the place!

Entertainment

We stayed in our room for the most part.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
The staff was friendly, however there was panic amongst them. They couldn't answer any questions not eve where we would dock. We were told several different things we would tender then it was we would dock, they didn't now!

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
The ship was not clean The elevators smelled of vomit. They had vomit on them many times upon a door opening. It was truly disgusting. The carpets throughout were disgusting.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
The cabin was dirty upon arrival. Dirty towels hanging with blood and makeup on them. Urine all over the toilet seat. Dust so thick we had to wipe down the entire cabin. The cabin tray with the coffee maker was never cleaned, it had sticky substance left in it and food. The only great thing was that large balcony!!!

Ship tip

CANCEL!! DON'T SAIL.

Always a favorite.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
I have been here many times. It was okay, it would ave been better if they could figure out where we were docking so plans could be made to snorkel at least.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Sailed this ship twice. I have n ver seen fighting, dirty rooms, vomit nor did the elevators smell. Will be booking in May on the Breakaway if all is good. Cruise for tomorrow on the Bliss was canceled. I have been on 4 of NCL ships and loved them all.

Wow, maybe next time you rent a yacht for yourself! I was in same cruise and none of those issues.

I was on this cruise. I saw no fighting or vomit. Our cabin was cleaned several times a day.

With all you claim, maybe you should have taken pictures. I find all youre claims very hard to believe.

I was on this cruise, I agree with people coughing but not once did I see vomit in the elevators. Buffet had same food for breakfast and lunch but different each night for the themed nights.

That’s sounds a bit far fetched

If all of this was going on there should be pictures to back up as you could at least get some of your money or send it to the news.

It was! I advise to save yourself the worry after you disembark! This entire situation was not ideal. I would say yes go if what I had seen at the port not taking place. They were not doing what they said they would do. I don’t think they care either to them you are $ and that is all. Safety was set aside.
