First time sailing on Norwegian and I was not impressed. First, they ripped my luggage and when I went to guest services to report it, I was basically dismissed. The entertainment was mediocre at best. It was okay, just not a great time.

Review summary

It was okay, just was not a great time. I have been on many cruises and was excited to sail on Norwegian for the first time. I was looking forward to visiting Belize only to find out I was still about a 45 minute boat ride from Belize.

Loved the excursion but wanted to go to Belize and not the island owned by the cruise line.

I agree a cruise is what you make of it. I was just on celebrity and had a few complaints but still had a great time met some wonderful people and it would not stop me from going on another in the future. Maybe try another cruise line, not all lines are for all people. I have been on NCL 5 times this ship twice and loved it.

I was on the Getaway six times over the last two years. We will be on it in 20 days from this writing. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM that could not be solved. It is what YOU make of the cruise, one negative situation can destroy the whole cruise for you if you let it. WHENEVER I had a problem I immediately put it on paper to the proper authority, then move on, believe me It does not matter what line you are on, they take steps to correct the issue so you can get back to enjoying your stay on their ship. They will send your an apology and some type of favor to your cabin, at the least someone makes contact with you, but to sit and focus on every little thing makes no good sense. Why throw your cruise away. My wife and I were on a new Carnival ship, we did didn't like it, we found many faults, but we made the best of everyday, we smiled, we talked to new people everyday, but were running for the door upon return to Miami. Would I do Carnival again, probably not even free, but I sure wasn't going to waste my days there wallowing in despair.

How does a person go on a cruise and not research or go one YouTube

This ship was one of our favorites. We sailed it twice, convincing family to join us on the second cruise. If you had done your research, you would have known that Harvest Caye was NCL’s private island, and not the mainland Belize.
