My family and I cruised on the Getaway on the March 15th sailing. This was our 10th cruise; we'd sailed once before with Norwegian, on the Pride of America in 2005. We had a great time in Hawaii, but I was disappointed by the quality of Pride of America's food. We've also sailed on Princess, Royal Caribbean, Disney, and Carnival. When we read that Norwegian's Getaway was coming in 2014, we decided to give Norwegian a try again.

Embarkation was a breeze. From start to finish, couldn't have been more than 15 minutes. We were on-board Getaway by 11:30 am, and although the cabin stewards were still in the process of cleaning our three staterooms, they let us leave our luggage, and we were off to lunch. Food was pretty good at the Garden Cafe buffet, and finding a table was not a problem, After lunch, it was back to the cabin to unpack.

I should say upfront, that the cabin was small; you can see from the website that their square footage is a bit less than what's standard on other ships. But it was very well laid out, and the only time we had a crowding problem, was when the entire family gathered in our stateroom. But it was functional, with sufficient storage space, and the shower was the best on any ship we've sailed on; roomy with a hinged door.
