I just booked this ship for a sailing from Honolulu to Papeete.
I’m going on this in October for the Seoul to Japan cruise
we'll be going on her next month… first time on NCL ship
hope my family will have fun and enjoy this short asian trip
I was an electrical engineer on her when she was known as Superstar Leo.
Before her only on cargo, tankers and RoRo vessels.
Star Cruises, owner back then of Leo, was by far the most boring job I have ever had.
Therefore I will never ever set my foot on a cruise ship ever.
Just back from a cruise on the Spirit from AUS to NZ. + No kids, no queues getting on and off, cabin big enough, relaxed atmosphere. – Nickel and diming , staff trying to sell me unwanted stuff, felt like walking a market in Kairo. Gratuity, hate it, price the cruise properly and pay your staff a proper wage, (20-25 USD/person/day) Staff doesn’t come across as genuinely happy, you can feel them wearing a mask over what felt like despair, ship didn’t feel like a happy ship. Overpriced excursions, check on Klook or similar for better deals. Food is meh and avoid the Asian restaurant.
I’ve cruised a number of times on NCL and actually did a 22 night back to back Mediterranean cruise pre refit. I was booked on the Spirit for a Japan cruise in 2020 but sadly, the cruise had to be cancelled and we received a full refund as well as airfare compensation.
My friends are doing a cruise on the Spirit in October 2024 to South Korea and Japan.
You know if cruises from in south east Asia depating on December move a lot? I suffer from sea sickness often and I want to take a cruise leaving taiwan and finishing in Singapore, just wondering if it moes a lot during that time
I'm going on her in March 2024 and I tacked on a Princess cruise to do a 10-day Queensland cruise after a few days I Sydney. I'm bummed that the Thermal Suite doesn't have a Thalassotherapy pool or hot tubs, especially since there are no kid zones. I know Spice H2O is adults only for most of the day, but I like the spa for a true kid-free space.
Really and excellent, open and honest review. We planned our 9-21 Feb 24 Sydney to Auckland cruise back in 2022 and even more excited about it after watching your video. Thanks and will be looking for more of your reviews!! Steve
Thanks a lot for the video.
In 2010 we were on our honeymoon cruise (Mediterranean Sea) from/to Barcelona on the Spirit. We enjoyed it.
Now I will be in November/December 2023 on the new Spirit from Hawaii to French-Polynesia as solo traveller; very excited comparing solo experience from cruising on Bliss mid November 2023 (Mexican Riviera) and then on the new Spirit.
My husband will be on the Spirit from French-Polynesia to Sydney (different life schedules, being not able to cruise together in November/December this year).
We will just give kisses and hugs at pier at time of disembarkation (me) and embarkation (him).
But on Christmas we will be then together in French-Polynesia.
We’re scheduled to sail March 2024 and hopefully the website will update soon regarding Covid restrictions
Thank you, love the blooper reel too!
Even though the NCL spirit has been refurbished, since it’s an old ship does it have plumbing problems such as blocked toilets everyday? I’ve been on one ship and this happened everyday
Dammit, I sailed on this ship and now I don't recognize it…..
We are cruising Spirit in late August, from Vancouver. Looking so forward to making her acquaintance!
Thinking about Hawaii Tahiti for September. Thanks for the great tour!
y no muestras el gimnasio????
I cruise on the Spirit in November to French Polynesia and Hawaii. I wasn’t impressed at all, inside stateroom was super small. Food was underwhelming in main dining room, and not enough outdoor sitting space for everyone during sea days. Never been able to get a lounge chair by the pool. It was my first cruise ever, and won’t ever cruise on the spirit again.
The ship looks wonderful! I agree with you they could tweak the itineraries to capture more local guests. My guess is that will happen should a global recession cause a reduction in the overseas guests. Being from the east coast of the US, I need find retirement prior to heading down under! See you in a few years!!
I would be interested to know if they still allow people in the casinos to smoke ? This made my last sailing (on Jewel) quite unpleasant
we took a cruise on Star-Leo from Sydney,dueing Sarrs virus in Asia, Her":over the top"features like Roman columns midships,& pirate -ship aft ,plus a great Atrium with internal lifts,& Aft dinning rm with huge windows was tops,gave P&O Fair princess a shake up,now she looks dowdy
Sailed on her in January 2023. Our first NCL cruise. Auckland to Sydney. Not as impressive as Celebrity Eclipse. Drinks package excludes water, juice and coffee – which makes it unimpressive. Rooms are small and starting to look tired already. Most activities were line dancing or things with an up charge. Price was ridiculous considering what you can get on similar cruise itineraries in Australia. Paid $3000 for interior room, but did get upgrade for extra $150 pp to ocean view. Muster drill on promenade deck in rain was a joke. Adding airfares and hotel costs for one way itineraries to cruise charges is crazy. $$$$
I don't know what the attraction is with NCL. Sure, this tub looks nice but with USD onboard, one-way itineraries, and nickel-and-diming at every corner after having paid a hefty fare just get to onboard, it doesn't seem an attractive cruise for me.
She looks like a great ship, but I can't get onboard with those itineraries, US currency and cost
We sailed on this ship when she was the superstar Leo back in 2000 on a 5 night cruise our very first cruise, leaving from Hong Kong. Absolutely fell in love with cruising.
The cruise was amazing food, accommodation, entertainment and crew excellent. Then we were back on her in 2017 as Norweigan Spirit a Mediterranean Cruise, felt like home again.
Being a smaller ship it was easy to get around. The crew were amazing as well as the food, entertainment and the easiest port disembarking. Would totally recommend this ship.
I sailed Norwegian Spirit in 2005, and I remember she was gorgeous. Lots of reminders of her Origins. I felt the ship was very ahead of her time and she has aged very gracefully. Glad they’ve invested so much in her. She’s an amazing ship – almost a mini Norwegian Dawn. Hope she sails for many years to come.
Nice ship review Mate. Thanks
Ok. I had to watch this a couple of times. Please tell me the shower door opens out, not pushed in like in demo
Enjoyed your review, Adrian.
The fish carpet is genius. An elegant solution to a common problem on cruise ships.
