This was a very good introduction to cruising and we took the opportunity to back to back
in order to see as many Islands as possible during the two weeks. However this had the
downside that meals and entertainment were repeated during the second week and therefore
lost some of the novelty value. On balance the cruise was very good value and it would be
a holiday that I would take again.

This was my second cruise on the Seaward. The service has improved, but they lost my
sister's luggage and were not very accomodating about it. The dining room experience was
wonderful. The waiters and stewards are great and the food is imaginative, tasty, well
prepared and plentiful. The entertainment is okay. They are still showing Grease, which I
saw 3 years before on my first cruise. The ports were nice, but we didn't spend enough
time at them. The excursions they sponsor are over priced and you are better off booking
them by yourself, just off the ship. I like this ship a lot. It is clean and well run for
the most part. I would definitely return to the Seaward in the future, or perhaps another
NCL ship.

The Seaward is a pleasant place to spend a week in the Caribbean on. We've been on her
twice.
The ship itself is crowded when full. The cabins among the smallest in today's new cruise
ships -- but with all the modern features (cable TV, phone, etc.). You may wait in line
for the midnight buffet and to get into some of the lounges but the staff goes out of
their way to make the wait worth while.
Both times we were aboard, the dining room ran like a high-energy swiss watch. The Maitre
D was always hovering and our waiter and busboy had their act together. The food was
excellent in quality, presntation and quantity and served with flair. We go for the theme
nights with the waiters putting on a show.
Engertainment was very good in the lounges and on-deck. Frequent on-board activities while
at sea make eveyone want to participate (like the Seaward Olympics were everyone forms
teams and competes in hokey events -- its a blast).
Public rooms are clean, nicely decorated and friendly, but sometimes crowded. Deck space
is plentifull with two large outdoor pools.
A great ship for a family vacation.

We've only been on two cruises but this one was the best. The ship wasn't really flashy
and it was quite a bit smaller, but the dining room service was beyond GREAT! We felt very
"at home" (if you can feel at home on a cruise). We were VERY pampered and
wanted to bring our waiters home with us. We felt as though all of the cruise staff were
there to make our trip enjoyable.
The cabins were pretty tiny -- as were the showers, but the service and atmosphere made up
for every bit of that. Plus, we weren't in the cabin that much anyway.
We didn't really enjoy Nassau, but the private island was great. There were plenty of fun
activities for those who wanted to join in, but there was also plenty of "beach
space" for sunbathers.
Great ship! I would take this cruise again.

Cruise opinion: With 5 previous cruises behind us we thought we knew the ups and downs of
cruising. We had never
encountered a ship before where no cared. I sent the following to the CEO of NCL on our
return from the Christmas
Cruise of 1996. He has yet (this is 13 February 1997) to respond.
We did recieve two form letters: a) from a marketing person wondering if we wanted a 25%
discount on our next
cruise. (Hardly likely)
b) letter from the Captain telling us how much he enjoed our cruise and hoped we would
'sail soon' with him.
(explective deleted)
Hans Goultein 30 December 1996 CEO Kloster Group 7665 Corporate Group Miami Florida, 33126
Dear Mr. Goultein,
In the last three years I have had the honour of being a guest on three of the Norwegian
Cruise Line Ships. My
family and I returned today from the 22nd of December sailing of the Seaward.
While on the Windward cruise in April of 1996, the concierge (an excellent employee)
suggested we try the
Seawards Christmas cruise to Aruba as that had been one port of call we had not seen. Up
to that time NCL had
been our cruise line of choice so we booked passage in cabin 6001, "The Owners
Suite".
On the 23rd of December, at approximately 1500 hours, the din from the Cabaret from the
deck directly below our
suite was sufficient to awake our two year old from her afternoon nap. I called the
pursers office and asked to speak
to the Head Purser. I was informed I was speaking to an assistant purser and what question
did I have. I said I
wanted the Head purser as I was concerned that this problem concerned possibly two or more
departments so I
needed someone with some authority to make decisions. I again was informed that as an
assistant purser this
gentleman could help me with my problem. I explained that as I was in room 6001 and
therefore was directly above
the Cabaret. My family and I could hear virtually everything that was going on in the
rehearsal below. I was queried if
I wanted another room but that nothing comparable was available. I said no but just asked
if the music be dropped a
couple of decibels. The gentleman, who unfortunately I did not get his name, said probably
not as they were
practicing for the "Gala Broadway Review". I said I would like to speak to the
Head Purser at the earliest
opportunity. We terminated our phone conversation at that point.
At about 2200 hours that night with the bass literally bouncing the sides of my daughters
crib causing her no sleep
and crying I hurried down to the Cabaret for a confrontation with someone. I approached a
gentleman who was
working the lights and sounds and asked if the performance was to go on very much longer.
He replied no, only
about 15 minutes longer but that I wasn't allowed in his area. I replied that the music
was causing my daughter
distress and he replied "what the heck do you want me to do ? Maybe you should change
rooms."
I returned to my room and again telephoned the purser's office and spoke with a young
women who was very
empathic and concerned. I believe her name was 'Kristin' . She was the first employee who
showed us the courtesy
and efficiency my wife and I had come to expect and had seen on other NCL ships. She said
that previous cruises
had also had complaints from that cabin and that the noise issue had been addressed but
that she would leave a
message for the Purser to call us, however no other rooms were available. I replied I
didn't want another room I
wanted the room I though we had bought, 'The Owners Suite'.
On the 24th of December, the afternoon rehearsal from below caused me to again call the
purser's office and ask to
speak to the head purser. He was 'out'.
During the Latitudes Party at 1930 hours, held ironically enough in the Cabaret Lounge, I
asked my wife to go speak
to the Cruise Director Charlie Oski. At that point in time, I had no hope of my getting
any satisfaction from anyone
on the Seaward but thought maybe she could get us relief for my daughter and family. My
wife came back to her
seat puzzled and angry and reported that he said 'the music was okay and perhaps we should
ask for another
cabin'. Does no staff officer on that ship care about the individual passengers ?
On the 25th of December, a gentleman called and introduced himself as 'Ricardo the Head
Purser'. he informed me
that he had heard of our concerns and said he had asked if the performances could be
altered to take into account
the volume of music and the late night performances. Perhaps now our cruise would be as we
had expected it to be.
At 2115 hours that night my wife, almost in tears by now, asked if I would take our
daughter to a 'quiet place
somewhere on the ship, maybe on the ninth deck where she may fall to sleep'. I called the
purser's office spoke with
Ricardo who apologized and said he thought the problem had been 'cured'. I asked him if I
could invite the Captain,
Cruise Director, and Hotel Director to a Champaign snack that night so everyone could hear
what we heard virtually
every night. He said no that that couldn't happen, but that he would write a report.
Later that night the Late Night Comedy was so loud we heard virtually the complete
performance of the comedian
including Aretha Franklin incessantly singing 'Think'.
At this point we seriously discussed jumping ship in Tortola and staying either at Fort
Recovery Resort for the next
three days or flying on to San Juan and finding a resort there to save something of our
vacation. Perhaps that is
what we should have done as that night the late night bingo game came into our room each
and every time the
caller called out the letter and number.
With five cruises of experience, three on NCL, I thought I understood the expectations and
opportunities offered with
sailing. With the purchase of "The Owners Suite", cabin 6001, I thought we were
buying privacy, courtesy, an
ambiance not available in other quarters of travel. At this juncture I wonder if our
expectations were to high or if this
ship is one with no one in control. Is the music for benefit of the passengers or are the
passengers there for the
performers benefit ? On the Seaward, I regretfully feel the latter is true. We never felt
that we could get any
enjoyment from any of the Jean Ann Ryan Company or any other offerings as the volume
assailed our senses
almost 6 hours a day.
I have no expressed desires of you or NCL at this point as we have decided to use other
carriers or resorts from now
on. Based however on our previous voyages, I believe that I had a responsibility to you
and your company to inform
you of the unfortunate cruise we endured. I would be remiss however if I did not point out
some employees who in
fact did meet the expressed exceptional standards of NCL.
Anton, busboy first seating, table 34 is excellent with younger children and should be
recognized by the company
for duty above and beyond. Buyong Kamarudin, cabin steward, dressed up the room every day
to lighten up the
room with festive decorations. Youth coordinators; Peggy Springer, Sherry Humphries, and
Julie Meyers not only
gave our 7 year old son a good fun time but taught him important lessons as well.
Assistant Pursers Deborah and Kristin with good humour and cheer allowed me to vent my
frustrations while still
attempting to make mediation for the company. Ricardo, Head Purser, seemed concerned with
our plight but unable
to make any meaning adjustments. He seemed a sensitive person who had no authority. These
eight individuals
kept us from totally losing all hope and leaving the ship mid voyage. The Ships Captain,
Cruise Director, and Hotel
Director could learn from these eight as these three wouldn't/didn't respond to our pleas
for help.
With apologies to John Donne, I have a few suggestions:
1) Directly delegate someone on board who can be the passengers advocate or ombudsman.
2) Inform officers and staff how to handle concerns of passengers by directing them to
number one above.
3) Give someone authority to authorize the control of the music volume.
4) If number three cannot occur , warn potential passengers of suite 6001 to either: [a]
not have small children
booked and/or [b] designate that particular cabin to passengers who plan on using the all
evening performances of
the ship and would not be disturbed by the vibrations of the bass and music forthcoming
from the Cabaret below.

Hans Meeg, Master, M/S Seaward P.O. Box 149075 Coral Gables Florida
Sir,
The absolute worst vacation my family and I endured was at your desecration. The enclosed
letter I sent to you
listed the complaints I had about your responsibility of command. Not only did I list the
grievous errors on your part,
both personal and professional, but I made some recommendations that I thought could be of
benefit both to you but
also to your ship.
The company seems to take this matter in the same fashion that it would a missing piece of
luggage. Our whole,
complete voyage was ruined by the inaction of the company, the staff on the Seaward and
you. NCL's response is
enclosed . Read it Sir, and see if my anger is not justified. The response is not from the
Chairman of Kloster, not
from the Hotel Operations Department or even for heaven's sake from the Seaward. No some
low level bureaucratic
,who obviously never even read my letter, will give me '25% off the next cruise if we use
it within the next year'.
Where is the justice? Where is the answer to the complaints? Does no in the company care
about repeat
customers or even customers complaints?
Today I received your letter, SIR, with words obviously someone else had written because
neither you: Hans Meeg
Captain-Seaward, Terry Linder Hotel Director -Seaward or Charles Oski seem to now the
meaning of. Words you
used were : pride experience of a lifetime worked closely with my crew and staff high
standards preferred passenger
rich and memorable experience. Admit it, Sir, you don't give a damn about us, None of you
do or you would have
had the courtesy to respond to my query.
It gives me no pleasure Sir, as one fellow Navy person to another to tell that you have no
honour.
Sincerely

Unfortunately, this was the worst cruise I have been on and would not go on NCL again. My
tickets arrived four days before I was to leave L.A. and when I called Norwegian Cruise
Lines (at the suggestion of my travel agent) they were terribly rude. They told me my
travel agent was making a commission -- it was not their job.
During the cruise (which was a 'Deluxe Outside Superior Stateroom,' and for which we paid top dollar, the toilet overflowed four times, the television did not work and repeatedly flickered off and on, a door to one of the closets rotted off the hinges, the door to the bathroom area stuck and did not slide; the small light to the bathroom was corroded and out and had to be repaired. Several doors did not close and repeatedly swung open. The small drawers for personal things were off the tracks (the tracks were all pushed out of place) and when I pulled all the drawers out I found some 'bikini" underwear from a previous passenger. However, the drawers still did not close. The air conditioner had to be repaired, as all it blew was icy air.
The walls, carpets and floors were dirty and stained I did talk repeatedly to the Chief Purser, who was very sympathetic, and who finally gave us (I was with my 84 year old mother) $100 cabin credit. He also suggested that I write to NCL when I returned. My Mother had looked forward to her elegant cruise for eight months and her disappointment with the physical surroundings was tremendously sad.
When I returned to L.A., I wrote to Hans Golteus, the CEO and President of NCL, stating all my problems, with cc to the Director of Customer Service. I received a form letter from the CEO, stating that he would investigate. One week later I received another form letter from the Director of Customer Service. She had not even read my letter, as it was a form letter and gave me and someone else (a different name, not my mother's) 25% off on a future cruise line. I tried twice to call NCL from LA to talk to the Director of Customer Service and both calls have been unreturned.
As far as good, the waiter, busboy and maitre 'd went out of the way to make my Mother happy; the Chief Purser listened to me and agreed that none of what was happening to us should happen to anyone on a cruise, and the Cabin Steward repeatedly helped by trying to get things fixed. I would really like to use your forum as a way to warn other potential cruisers about NCL and particularly about Seaward, and I thank you for this opportunity.

My husband and I sailed with three other couple on the Seaward and we all had a great
time. The dining experience was
fantastic. All three of the other couples had been on other cruises and they all agreed
that the Seaward was the best.
The Midnight Buffets were fabulous. Everyone on the ship was great to us. We went on
several planned excusions by
the ship and had a great time.
The only problem that we had was that one of the couples did not have the same airline
flight as the rest of us. They got
to the ship several hours before us. Our flight arrived so late that we missed all of the
orientation and excusion
information. The ship pulled out almost immediately. We were lucky that the other couple
was able to inform us as to
where everything was and what we needed to sign up for.
We had a great time aboard the Seaward and would take any of NCL cruises again.

Great Cruise! I think most would be impressed by the ship. Sure, its not 3,000 passenger
megaliner, but it has a nice
feel to it. Dining was excellent: both the food and the service. The entertainment was
superb. It seemed like there was
always an activity in one of the lounges for you to take part in. Ports of call were the
best I have visited. Barbados is
excelent. The only port that was not nice was Marinique. Rude people, dirty, you honestly
would be better of staying on
the ship. So, don't jugde this ship by its size, or by its lack of a 7 floor high atrium,
