Review summary

Didn't live up to expectations. Not as advertised. 2 days in Havana turned into 10 hours. Private island was canceled so we tried turning Bahamas into our beach day. But only got 3 hours on a beach. Then to say they are sorry the offer 25% off our next cruise. That’s a slap in the face. So what I’m hearing is “We are sorry that our ship broke down and it’s our fault that we didnt give you what you paid for and to make it up to our customers they have to pay more money to ncl so ncl can profit off of the that broke down due to bad maintenance practices. Don’t cruise with ncl

Time was cut short. Had to return to ship too soon? The ship left earlier than was supposed to

HAVANA, CUBA

1 out of 5
Day excursion was moved to evening. Was dark out couldn't see much. Museums & galleries were closed. Our 2 days in Havana became 12 hours in the dark. Couldn’t shop because they were closed. Our excursion guide said nothing will be open and this is a day tour. It took over 2 hours to get off the ship. We didn’t get on land till after 630 pm and then ship left at 530 am so really we had only 10 hours because must be on ship well before it leaves
