Review summary

The ship that we sailed on obviously wasn’t equipped to handle the seas that they were navigating on they had skipped three different ports due to weather and seem completely content to keep us on board spending money with the cruise line overall experience was very poor. Look up NCL spirit riot .

The Captain put us into harms way by traveling into Gail storms.

You first say that the ship can't handle the seas it was in and also say the ports were cancelled for unknown reasons....it was because of the weather. I think the behaviour seen in the videos was so disrespectful. Those people who were yelling in the crew's faces... no words. If you spent money on your sea days that's on you. Read the contract the next time before you sign it. If the captain had decided to head into the storm anyway everyone would be yelling at the captain that he put you all at risk! If you were not a part of that riot then good for you and if you were a part of that and don't understand why people are not sympathetic to your review, you need to do some self reflection. SMH.

Sensational photographic journey! I love this excursion to the Norwegian fjords filled with such scenic, stunning beauty. Moreover, I am extremely grateful to the captain and crew who made an important decision to skip some of our stops due to high winds.

DON'T SAIL ON NCL
