Review summary

Norweigian is unlike other cruise ships. The food is very poor in main dining rooms. Small portion and low quality. Worse then any all inclusive I’ve been to. They nickel and dime you for everything. Nothing good comes with the cost of cruise. Getting off and on at ports were insane. We had no time to do anything and missed excursions. It was crazy. By the time we got to their private island there was nothing left! We paid for umbrellas and got none and no refund. It was a mess. We had no shade in that hot sun. I felt so sick from the sun with no break. It was awful. They sent us around the whole island for two hrs looking for umbrellas! I had 30 min in the ocean and no time to eat. It was the worst experience on a vaca ever.

Cabin / Stateroom

Our steward was amazing!! Only complaint in balcony club suite was how small the balcony was. I thought we were upgrading to get a bigger balcony.

Ship tip

Don’t sail Norweigian.

I agree with auntpinkie. Seems they're trying to make up for lost time by charging for more and giving less. These boat chefs don't seem to grasp the idea of seasoning the food or how to keep it warm without over cooking and drying it out. I just sailed with carnival where they had no clue about customer service or hospitality.

Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations. Cruising is not yet back to what it was. Sadly, it may never be.
