We were on the Norwegian Jade in Nov 2021 cruising the Greek Islands and had a great time. We have a Baltic cruise booked on the Norwegian Getaway June 2022 and can’t wait. Sorry you didn’t enjoy your cruise on Norwegian.

I’m sorry the cruise didn’t meet your expectations. NCL is my favorite cruise line.

You are mad at that cruise line because you went at the end of the season and most of the ports weren’t open for full tourism? Did you not look the weather and seasons up before you went? You didn’t wonder why a cruise in November was so cheap compared to even a cruise in October?

What could they have done to make your cruise better?

I couldn't understand some of your comments but everything about the ship sounded ok. What was your complaint with NCL? Is it just that there wasn't much to do in Greece?
