Norwegian Spirit Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I liked my trip but would have loved it if the ship was better all around. I felt 1/2 the staff was ready to be done and the other 1/2 treated me like a queen.

This ship is an older ship, good for ports of call. If you’re going for great food and service,choose another ship line.

We had cruised on the NCL Spirit prior to the Eastern Med area....Great cruise. This route of this cruise included Venice, and the countries along the East coast for the Adriatic Sea, Corfu, and Malta. We like this ship and its size. You never feel crowded and there is plenty of cruise type stuff to do. Wonderful staff from cabins, wait staff, greeters at restaurants, etc

This cruise included what we want to see. I also felt like I was being nicked and dimed for such thing like water and drinks. We did have ultimate drink package which was only good for drink up to $15 and could not be combined to purchase that $33 bottle of wine which also had a corkage fee and 20% gratuities fee. This brought the cost closer to $40 even with the not so ultimate drink package. No bottled water or soft drinks were included with the ultimate package, a real let down.

First trip on Norwegian, overall good but not great. Excellent itinerary, gorgeous ship, but below Viking and below Princess. Food was good but not great. Entertainment good , not great. Good for families though. will try Norwegian again in December with family in the Caribbean.

The ports of call would be the only reason I would go on this particular ship again.

So much fun. The staff was great and the service was superb. I wish I had more time at all the ports but that can't be helped. Yummy food, and fun entertainment. The boat could use some updating, our shower was falling apart, thought the staff quickly re-did some tiles. But we had no problems outside that!

The strongest aspect of this cruise was the itinerary. Have never seen a better line up of ports in the Eastern Med. This was the reason we took this cruise and we are glad we did. We liked Norwegian's free style cruising. We don't go on cruises to get dressed in tux and tails.

Ship has been update nicely. Very clean and modern. Open pool area nice for sunning! We found this to be on par with Holland and Princess, all having there small differences, but would do NCL and the spirit again.!

very good except couple issues mentioned above cabin smelled foul in few occasions

Food left a lot to be desired unless you went to the specialty restaurants.

All in all very good cruise. I would definitely cruise with Norwegian again.

We really enjoyed the cruise. Weather in Greek Islands from late spring is warm to hot while there's lots of history and culture to experience. Ship was excellent - food, shows etc. We will look forward to our return.

The Spirit is one of the older ships in the NCL fleet, but it's clean and well-maintained. It doesn't have all the fancy bells and whistles that the newer mega-ships have, but the smaller capacity means the ship is easier to get around and feels more intimate. The staff was fabulous; everyone was friendly, helpful, and did their best to make our vacation fantastic. The food and drink were perfectly fine, and so were the activities. We really appreciated the Freestyle Cruising concept, and were happy we weren't forced to eat at assigned times, sitting with strangers. We very much enjoyed the itinerary; every port was different, and with the exception of the massive issues with returning to the ship in Santorini, all the ports were really wonderful. Overall this was a fantastic vacation, and we definitely look forward to Cruising like a Norwegian again in the future :)

Did not like the food in the Raffles Court that much. it was ok. The food in the specialty restaurants and in the main dining rooms was much better. The itinerary was great!

Overall a good introduction to some of the more popular Greek islands. Norwegian Spirit is a nice ship and well maintained. Entertainment is very canned. No acoustical guitar, no comedians, and little magic. Just expect a lot of flash and no substance. Not one Beatles or Stones song in the "Rock and Soul" show. Skip the specialty restaurants and spend the money ashore on authentic cuisine.

As I said that I won't cruise on Norweigan again due to the salty food, and a man jumping off the boat causing us to miss a port that we paid to see. There was no compensation from the ship to make me want to try another cruise.

Only negative was the wine police that CONFISCATED our stuff. Chinsey chinsey chinsey

Great itinerary. Very comfortable balcony room. Generally good on the food, but menu should be revised to include more vegetarian/vegan friendly options. Stage entertainment very good.

Overall, we made the best of our vacation but it was not the cruise for us. We were surprised to find everything on the ship in English with the majority of guests being from the U.K., then America, then Asia. But with a long overseas trip, almost everyone was over the age of 65. The service was poor, the food was poor, the cruise director Dave was terrible, and the activity schedule was poorly planned.
