The NCL Pride of America cruise is a great way to see the Hawaiian Islands. The ship travels at night so you have all day to see the sights. The ship is not the newest and does not have a casino or the water slides of the new super ships but it is clean and comfortable

This comment refers to my earlier trip. NCL’s cruisenext of the Bliss ship gave me a wrong impression of using cruisenext credit. This caused some confusion during payment of my future cruise, and frustration that I could not use two cruisenext credits to a single booking. One other comment I have is on the Garden Cafe restaurant in the Breakaway. The Indian food section was inferior to the same restaurant in the Bliss. The items served were not well selected and did not sometimes coorditate with the other foods.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise. The food was very good, and the ports we visited were top notch! The only real complaint about the ship was we couldn't use the pool or hot tub as they were too busy, and if you didn't want to drink alcohol all day, it was hard to get a glass of water, except on 2 or 3 floors. Also, if you are diabetic, the only drinks you can have is water, tea, or coffee. They did though provide NSA (No Sugar Added) deserts, I didn't realize what that meant untill into day 5.

This ship was a little older than others in the Norwegian line. Our cabin had a very tall bathtub to climb over.

NCL Prima had no chapel or Masses even though the cruise was for 15 days that included 2 Sundays and one Holy Day (Feast of the Immaculate Conception)

This was our first cruise and we liked it so much we took advantage of Norwegian's CruiseNext program while onboard. They essentially double your money toward future bookings. The cabin was cozy and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Can't wait for the next one!

This trip was a wonderful experience. I liked the cruiseline, and would surely book with it. I even have another cruise coming up with this cruise line in December. But unfortunately it will be the same cruise-ship. I shall be needing Affordable's help in the near future to find another cruise with the same cruise line.

Fabulous cruise!

We had a great time on our NCL Getaway Bermuda/ Bahamas Cruise. We want to go to another cruise with NCL again soon (and we are not retired yet) as schedule allow.

RM

The ship is well maintained, clean and well staffed. Everyone is so cordial and helpful and always greet you with a smile.

This was a great choice for seeing the Panama Canal. NCL always does a great job.

We love cruising with Norwegian. The staff are so friendly and helpful, the food is really good and plentiful, and the excursions are really nice. My only complaint would be that internet is basically a utility now, like water or electricity. Hopefully in the future, at least the basic, non-streaming internet could be included in the price of the cruise.

Our agent listened and then offered the perfect vacation package for me. He found the NCL cruise for the date and price and then even chose the cabin! My trip was a delight. He is much appreciated. A highlight of the NCL cruise was providing a host for the solo travelers. We were a congenial group that enjoyed sharing the experiences of the day with our excursions, and conversation and company every evening for dinner for those who wanted to participate. It was definitely a plus for NCL!

Everything met or exceeded my expectations

PJ

The NCL transatlantic cruise Rome to NY met every expectation aboard the Escape. Have sailed many times and the crew this trip was the most friendly we've ever experienced.

SB
Susan

The staff on the NCL Breakaway were friendly and helpful. As usual, the Haven is the preferred place to be...well worth the extra dollars for priority everything.

ML
Michael

Excellent service and all plans fulfilled

KC
Kay

This was a good cruise for an entire family. However, when just the two of us cruise we prefer other cruise lines.

The only snag was weather related late departure which affected the amount of time spent during port visist.

The staff customer service is Excellent they made you feel sooo welcome throughout the whole experience! Yes, I will most definitely cruise with Norwegian again in the future.

We found NCL to be comparable to Royal Caribbean, overall, though each cruise line tended to excel and lead its counterpart in certain categories. For example, the dining options and quality of food of NCL were slightly better than RCI's. Likewise, public accommodations, i.e., entertainment, games/shows/experiences of NCL were a cut above RCI's. Conversely, we found RCI's shore excursions to be somewhat better than NCL's. All in all, we feel we would have enjoyed our Panama Canal cruise with either.

The cruise was very good, but we expected more variety in the on-board events, particularly during the at sea days. The talks were just to sell cruises and jewelry. The trivia games were fun, but they could have given a prize worth a couple of dollars, maybe even a t-shirt. The food was excellent, especially in all of the sit-down restaurants. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of all parts of the ship and the tremendous effort by the crew to constantly clean and sanitize. They even immediately picked up small pieces of paper on the carpets. The cabin steward was very attentive and pleasant.

The Norwegian Dawn's architecture is lacking in comfortable areas to just sit and relax. Every inch is either a bar, restaurant, casino, or shop. This leads to a subtle pressure to spend money or drink. There was a distinct lack of cultural activities during the cruise. On past cruises they offered lectures on the locations that we were visiting without trying to sell us merchandise. We has a library that offered a view of the ocean while enjoying a book. On the Dawn the library is internal, small, and not really serious. My last criticism is that the ship was unable to maintain the air-conditioning in my cabin. Three of the eleven nights were spent with unacceptable heat. On the positive side, the staff and crew were exceptional. We had an upgrade that came with a cabin assistant, butler, and concierge. Our butler and cabin assistant were exceptionally attentive. They worked hard to make us comfortable and well fed. The concierge was somewhat less present, and in the end he never learned mine and my sister's names and all his communications were incorrectly addressed as a married couple with my sister\'s last name. In general, the food across the restaurants was excellent. In all the meals there were only two dishes that weren't up to expectations. The Moderno Churrascaria was exceptional, and the French specialty restaurant, Le Bistro, was beautiful with very interesting and tasty food. The cruise itinerary was good. The selection of ports was a good blend of similar but different West Indies ports along with US territories. In conclusion, this cruise really only suffered by comparison. If I'd had no previous experience, then this cruise would have been as magical as others. NCL is a fine cruise line that has handled COVID protocols extremely well both pre-boarding and while sanitizing on board. My issues are personal preferences aside from the AC malfunction.

I hadn't been on a cruise in 4 years before I booked this cruise and was glad I did the crew was wonderful and very pleasant look forward to booking a cruise for next year

We really enjoyed our experience on the Norwegian Breakaway. The staff were all very courteous and accomodating. We also could see the attention given to cleanliness and keeping everyone safe.

In addition to cruising with Regent, NCL's Haven is the next best option. The accommodations are nice and the staff is outstanding. It is like a ship within a ship. I highly recommend NCL and especially the Haven.

NCL provided a great New Year Celebration cruse. Festive atmosphere, great food choices at Seven Seas restaurant and at the buffet on deck 11. Cabins are larger that we have cruised in lately and with plenty of room for luggage and necessities. NCL staff was very friendly and helpful. Entertainment was very good. The band playing in the Bliss lounge was on the highest level. Boarding and disembarkation exemplary. Over-all it was wonderful experience.

Great service and experience

NCL was able to accomodate my special dietary needs with no problems. They also had some appropriate and fantastic shows and activities. I had one problem on the trip: I booked my shore excursions on the NCL webpage in advance, my excursion times changed when I got on board, I didn't know to look on my physical ticket to see that the time had changed, so I missed my first (and most desired) excursion. No one told me the excursion time could change after I printed my itinerary confirmation--and I talked with 2 members of the shore excursion desk the night before my first excursion! CHECK YOUR PHYSICAL TICKET FOR UPDATED EXCURSION TIME AND MEETING PLACE!!!

Our cruise was fabulous, and Affordable tours got us great deals. Very pleased we went through you.

The cruise itinerary was changed the week prior to sailing, eliminating one port entirely. NCL did refund the port taxes on the final statement. During the cruise, some arrival and departure times were changed, thereby cutting our time in port and shore excursions short. The onboard entertainment was good and most of the personnel were friendly and helpful, especially the wait staff and cabin steward.

Lori

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise! The staff on the Norwegian Jade were friendly, professional and extremely helpful. The food and service in the Grand Pacific was also excellent. The entertainment was first class - both the theater productions and the various singers in the bars and poolside.
