A little bumpy, but good overall

Ship: Norwegian Spirit
Sail Date: Mar 30, 2013

Overall, this cruise was good and we had a good time. The negative things are partly on account of the bumpy roads (which the captain referred to as "potholes in the road) and our kids not having a great time. The North Atlantic was quite rough during the few days we were there. I asked a bartender if this was normal and he mentioned that 2 weeks prior they had a very smooth cruise. Can't do anything about nature, but I think we may not do the open sea again. Our stateroom (6035) was large for an inside cabin, probably about 230 sq.ft.. However, everything we used was in the back of the ship so we had a bit of a hike. The dining was decent but not as good as on Costa Cruises. This may be a result of not having a formal dining time and table. However, having the freedom to come whenever was nice but if you could get a table by yourselves (on a diff cruiseline) with the same waiter every night, I think that would be preferable. The food itself was good but nothing too spec...

NCL not very impressive

Ship: Norwegian Spirit
Sail Date: Mar 21, 2013

We have cruised in a few other cruise lines, and NCL was not very impressive! The shows were very good and the shore excursion desk was very helpful but very little amenities, if any. The food was not very good and wait staff very poor, no refills at the tables, no one offered help with finding tables, no trays.... We would not cruise NCL again but, if you like to feel at home and do it yourself you would then enjoy this no frills holiday!

Excellent experience, highly recommend this cruise

Ship: Norwegian Spirit
Sail Date: Mar 03, 2013

This is our 2nd Norwegian cruise. This experience is totally different from the one we had in Hawaii in 2005. Everything is excellent especially the hosekeeping and the food service staff . The cabin is surprisingly large from all the cruises we had. The experience is so good we're already planning for the Norwegian Epic this October.

Overpriced Cruise

Ship: Seven Seas Voyager
Sail Date: Sep 16, 2012

Based upon my evaluation of the main dinning room food service, I would not recommend this ship. I thinh Princess and Celebrity offer better value.

Ports in Europe - Western Europe

Villefranche-sur-mer, France (204 Reviews)

Set in the heart of one of the world's most beautiful bays, Villefranche-sur-Mer sits on the steps of a natural amphitheatre - the terraced hills of the Riviera - gazing out over the sea. The plentiful sunshine of the Cote d'Azur, reflected in the enclosed bay, has given Villefranche-sur-Mer a warmth and climate all of its own and its famous rich, exotic vegetation. Learn More »

Marseille (Provence), France (109 Reviews)

The most populated city in France after Paris, Marseille has all the sights and sounds of a Mediterranean melting pot, which it has been ever since the Phocaean Greeks invaded around 600 B.C. Its industrial docks rub shoulders with the picturesque old harbor, the Vieux Port, founded by the Greeks 2,600 years ago. Packed with colorful fishing boats and yachts, the Vieux Port is the heart of Marseille. Learn More »

Lisbon, Portugal (67 Reviews)

Lisbon is many cities, from the cobbled alleys of the Alfama district to the broad Parisian style avenues at its heart. View it all from the heights of St. George's Castle. Belem's Monument to the Discoveries recalls the seafaring past, while nearby Sintra's storybook palaces, and the seaside resort of Caiscais, have different tales to tell. Learn More »

Cannes, France (62 Reviews)

Cannes has an international reputation for glamour - pictures and movie clips of its croisette, its film stars and its grand hotels instantly conjure up an image of style and sophistication. Cannes is much changed from its beginnings as a resort when an English traveller, Lord Brougham, was quarantined there in 1834. Nowadays, the city hosts conventions and festivals all year round - and there's plenty to attract the guests and delegates. Learn More »

Funchal, Madeira (58 Reviews)

Funchal is a busy port exporting wines, fish, and fruit, it is best known for its beautiful setting and balmy climate, which make it a much-frequented resort. It has a late-15th-century cathedral and a convent church containing the tomb of Jose Goncalves Zarco, who founded the city in 1421. Learn More »

Le Havre (Paris), France (39 Reviews)

Le Havre is the gateway for optional tours to Paris, the "City of Light." See the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Champs Elysees. In Le Havre itself, cruise visitors can explore at leisure and learn something of the French "art de vivre." Visit fish and vegetable markets, public parks, modern architecture, a long seaside promenade and a vast beach. Learn More »

Ajaccio, Corsica (33 Reviews)

Renowned as the birthplace of Napolean Bonaparte, Ajaccio is bursting with history and cultural diversity. The Greeks were the first to discover the unique beauty of the island early in the 6th century BC, calling it "Kalliste", or "the beautiful". Climbing through the foothills and the mountains, you'll be surrounded by the greenery covering the mountainside. The local term for this lush plant life is "maquis." Learn More »

Zeebrugge (Bruges), Belgium (21 Reviews)

Located along the North Sea, Zeebrugge is located ten miles north of Brugge (Bruges) and serves as its port. The Brugge-Zeebrugge Canal connects the seaside resort with the cultural mecca that is its sister city. Visitors to Brugge will see stunning representations of gothic and roman architecture and collections of Dutch and Belgian art. Learn More »

Toulon, France (20 Reviews)

Toulon, a commercial and industrial city in southeastern France, lies on the Mediterranean Sea. Toulon's harbor serves as the primary naval base of the French Mediterranean fleet. In recent years tourism has become increasingly important. A modern resort area with a beautiful beach and hotels has developed at Le Mourillon, just west of Toulon. Learn More »

Greenock (Glasgow), Scotland (14 Reviews)

Glasgow, founded in the 12th century, is now Scotland's largest city, and is just an hour away from the capital of Edinburgh. Glasgow is an excellent base for excursions to the Highlands.
