From embarkation to disembarkation (both remarkably easy!), we had the time of our lives. There were 4000 guests on board but you'd never know it. The new menus in the MDRs (which there were 3 of!) were excellent and better than the 2 specialty restaurants we ate in. The service was amazing... the hotel desk, hotel director, room steward, Maitre D's in the MDRs, and many waiters...all friendly and accomodating. Can't say enough about how well we were treated by staff. We had no problems with the timeliness of food delivered in any of the restaurants. The new seafood buffet was beyond words superb. Our room (inside stateroom) was spacious compared to other NCL rooms and had alot of storage areas. The bathroom was the biggest we've had on NCL. Entertainment was good but only 2 shows albeit we did not go to the comedy show. The one downfall on this ship is that the atrium is used for all major activities (such as game shows). Otherwise, we found things very easily and loved the new elevator system. The buffet was huge and we never found it to be too crowded and never found an issue with finding seating (often an issue on other NCL ships). The 2 specialty restaurants were just ok...there really should be new menus in these.

Ports were nice; wish there would have been one more. Bahamas a bit concerning re: safety and next time will take an excursion. We enjoyed meeting fellow Cruise Critic members for the first time we attended the Meet and Greet and really appreciated the talent and friendliness of Cruise Critic member, Michael, who played guitar and sang. We liked that there was not a strong push to sell things to cruisers and that there were not alot of overhead announcements. The cruise director (Sinan) and his staff were sensational and we laughed so hard at the game shows because of their humor. We went home and told a family member about this cruise (and still 8 days later talk about it every day) and she booked a cruise for June! Getaway is a terrific ship with great staff and amazing food. The trifecta of a stupendous vacation!
