Review summary

NCL beware cruise gone bad Bed Bugs!!!!!!! We were looking forward to a relaxing cruise bitten from head to toe by bed bugs NCL refusing to replace the cruise with another. itched the entire cruise both my wife and myself. They gave a dinner and offered a small dollar amount. this does not even compare to the money put out by ourselves. Damaged clothing from laundering all our items,Airfare, accommodation, gratuities and cruise costs. did not ask for the entire costs involved but a reasonable replacement but no was the answer. Why do they not care about customer relations I guess we along as others are just nobodies. If everyone told 2 people and they told 2 people it would go on and on then maybe they would change there customer service and start to care about there customers. this was decided by head office so there current attitude reflects on all of there sailing mishaps. check there reviews!!!!

I don’t think the picture you posted is a bed bug Bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed. The picture you posted is of a much larger insect

I cruised on the Norwegian gem a couple of years ago. The destinations were. However the ship, the service, the food was sub par. Definitely not worth the money we spent. I will never cruise with Norwegian again. Carnival and royal Caribbean are superior in every category.
