Norwegian Cruises

Numerous reviews about the Norwegian Cruise Line have proven that the voyage is indeed impressive. They said that the weather was always nice and if ever it rained, it does not hinder the passengers from enjoying the beautiful scenery. Norwegian cruises are known to have cabins that are extremely functional. However, critics said that the tube cabins that are located near the bow are really dark. It is better to pay a bit higher for an inside cabin as they are more livable. There are also some cabins that are tiny in size as compared to others. The mini-suites feel cramped because of the wall separating the bedroom from the sitting area. But the grand suites are truly impressive with their full baths, lovely beds and spacious area.

There were also complaints about the noise and vibration that the ship makes. Most of the passengers find it unappealing that the vessel had to stop every now and then to pick up cruisers from different ports. Some of these stops took place in the middle of the night and it disrupts the sleep of resting passengers. The cruise also failed to deliver good customer service. There were a lot of complaints about the ‘cruise director’ not being courteous to the guests. But since the cruise line is new in the industry, both critics and passengers have found these pains and mishaps forgivable.

The food was generally good. According to one article, Norwegian cruise deals include serving lamb and reindeer on special nights. They also have a wide variety of cold cuts and hot dishes. Supper was usually an alternate of fish or meat and they serve potatoes with the meals a great deal. One other thing that’s unusual about this cruise line is that they do not serve snacks, drinks or even coffee in between formal meal times. Although the meals are not high-end, they were really very good. Some of the great things about the cruise line are its affordable prices for the shore excursions and its acknowledgement of the importance of essential travel insurance. The company strongly encourages their passengers to get one before getting on board.

Because of its northern location, Norway in the summer has 24-hour daylight experience. Travelers who want to take advantage of all the sunshine should hop on cruise ship and take the time to get to know Norway’s culture. After all, the different departure ports are dotted all over the coastline. Some of the places that the passengers will surely enjoy are Hellesylt and Flam. The latter has one of the world’s longest and deepest fjords while the former is popular for its amazing waterfalls. The port of Geiranger is exciting for those who adore nature. It has acres of vegetation and the snow-capped mountains are enough to complete the majestic view.

All in all, the ships have a couple of kinks that need fixing but the cruisers will surely enjoy the trip.
