13 Oct 2026
I didn't realise Norwegian Cruise Liner was 90% American. Everything was far too loud for me!
The restaurants were very good especially the speciality one's.
The bar and restaurant staff were brilliant, couldn't fault them.
There was plenty going on every day. The 70's, 80's nights started at 10pm and finished at 10.45pm!? Everyone was just getting into it and everything was shut down! The only option was in the nightclub where the DJ never spoke abd played from a laptop. I think that needs a rethink. Lots were disappointed.
We booked an excursion to Sorrento and Pompei - what a disaster. Had 1.5 hours in Sorrento and the same in Pompei. The Italian guide had sorted a lunch that we had to pay for $20, it was all set out even though optional but we wouldn't have any time to find anywhere else before continuing to Pompei. The cost on the ship was $159.99 each!! I felt it was very expensive for what we got!
So unfortunately, I won't be cruising with NCL again for those reasons.

NCL’s Freesryle drinks and dining package is their strong point. They’ve got well stocked bars of all themes - mojito bar, martini bar, outdoor bars and many bar. The speciality restaurants are varied and of a very high standard with service to match. We samples Cagneys Steak restaurant (superb!), the Teppanyaki experience was fun where chefs cook your food right in front of you. Also we chose the Brazilian restaurant which was excellent too. As well as our 3 included speciality restaurants their main dining rooms offered a very high standard 3 course menu. The entertainment on board wasn’t amazing but it was a smaller ship and it didn’t spoil our holiday. The itinerary was what we chose this cruise for and as it’s our 3rd cruise with NCL, we highly recommend tbem

Nearly everything was fine apart from our private transfer to Rome airport. We waited over 3 hours no one turned up. We eventually got a taxi to take us to the airport at a cost of 140 euros. We were very stressed at this point as we were in danger of missing our flight. We would therefore request compensation for this ordeal. My sister has a broken back and was in pain having to stand around for that length of time. It was such a shame this happened as we had thoroughly enjoyed the holiday. I hope you respond favorably to our request for compensation and look forward to your reply.
