Review summary

This was my first Norwegian cruise and it will be my last Norwegian cruise. All cruise line food has slipped since the pandemic, but none we had on any cruise line was as best as the best on Norwegian.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
We left on time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Other than breakfast, the food on the ship was the same each day and was horrible up to and including the speciality restaurants.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Not much of interest foe 70 plus years old.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Musicals were good , the bartenders were funnier than the comedian.

Children's Programs

73 years old

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Staff was the best part of the cruise, except the folks cleaning tables in the buffet. Those folks would run you down if you were walking with a cane.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
The design of the buffet area is very poor. Telling people to go around the omelet station and get what they wanted caused people butting in and tempers to flair.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
It was the smallest of all we have ever had, the a/c didn’t work correctly, not enough space, lack or drawers, shower backed up and toilet stubborn to flush and no plug tin the bathroom to dry hair.

Ship tip

Don’t

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

1 out of 5
This is where the cruise started and ended, not a port of call.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

3 out of 5
Nice no excursion.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

3 out of 5
We hired our own taxi and toured the island.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

2 out of 5

St. John's, Antigua

Oops sorry 😞 thanks

Which ship, please? Can you add any specific information about why the food was not to your liking? Traffic at the buffet is a different issue from actual food choices/preparations.

Sorry your NCL cruise was not up to par. Thank you for sharing your experience though.
