I'm sorry you had a bad time on your cruise. If you are like me you really look forward to your vacations whether it be a cruise or something else. I too have had a cruise from hell and it seems like sometimes it just snowballs. Other times it is just one pleasure after an other. I hope your next cruise goes better.

100% I rarely have issues while traveling. This stood out so I thought I’d mention it. Some people literally hate admitting they had troubles. It’s fine with me if that’s what floats your boat. We’re with a group of 23 and unless it’s purely coincidental they’re experiencing the same. It’s hard to complain and not sound like sour grapes but it is what it is.

If you all think it’s perfect then great I’m happy for you. Your experience doesn’t negate mine. That’s all I got. Good day

Not entirely accurate ... we have received partial refunds for bad excursions. Once when the activity level was obviously inaccurate - damn near killed my older parents - and another when the guide on St Johns was 45 minutes late and another had to be substituted.

Yep we got full refund. It had nothing to do with weather or conditions. It was literally a swamp. The guide even said it’s not clean water and do not even put your feet in it.

You do realize that the vast majority of the debarkation is not under the control of NCL but rather the port and customs? Of course with your attitude of waiting to find out what is wrong I am absolutely 100% sure that you will find something that you do not like that will just ruin your entire cruise.

Lol you people read into **** too much. Typical forum mob mentality. It was my opinion and there are plenty on here with the same opinion. I really couldn’t care less what you think nor should you. This is precisely why you don’t hear more of this.

Sounds like a real bummer of an experience.

 

 

 

I guess you’ll be trying another line.

 

 

 

I suggest Regent or Oceania for the experience you are likely looking for.

Ya I won’t risk it on ncl again. I don’t cruise every year as it’s pretty much the same. Every 2-3 years or so. Next two years already planned so I have plenty of time to research and plan. To be clear I’m not looking for ultra luxury etc. but when carnival had better service....

We were looking at the Getaway only having been on the Breakaway last month no problem getting a drink but the smoke around the waterfront and some restaurants was really bad. How is it on the Getaway?

Yep same but that didn’t bother me too much. It was there but not overwhelming.

It seems like overwhelmed bars are due to spring break, I had no problem getting a drink anywhere on the Breakaway. I don’t take ship tours, prefer to research 9n my own and get reviews. Some beaches get rough surf at times and get red flagged, we have that issue here at times during the summer. Mother Nature.

This was more of a swamp

Sorry it's not working out for you.

Live and learn... I’ve seen some similar complaints but hoped they were isolated

This would be my 7th Cruise and first on ncl. Mini suite is nice, food pretty good but that’s about it.

Bar service...awful. Lines, being ignored. one time I was sittings at bar and was told to get in line if I wanted a drink. Really? WTH. Waiters by the pool? Nonexistent. Lost laundry. Ncl booked excursion Jeep tour with beach...no actually just an hour and a half in a sandbox because you can’t go in the water it’s not safe...

rude staff everywhere. Guest services not really helpful. We’ll get back to you...no they won’t.

I’m pretty sure the slow bar service is because of the UBP I believe they are trained to slow it down. None of them would survive a Friday night even at a local small bar. I feel sorry for people that didn’t get the UBP because they had to wait as well. I’m pretty sure there’s no way I spent even close to the cost of the package, I’ll know tomorrow if they itemized all the drinks on the final bill. Many times I just gave up.

Dinner in the MDR was a 2.5-3hr endeavor. I carried my daughter back asleep a couple times. Didn’t matter when you went it was slow, this was also a way to push you to the pay restaurants. Some odd things, at one bar a drink could be 13.95 and 17.95 at another. Or one thing was covered the next day it wasn’t.

Balcony never got cleaned from day one and had potato chips scattered about even after it was requested to be cleaned.

That’s what immediately comes to mind. Let’s see how they can botch up disembarkation....
