Norwegian Getaway Review
First time family cruisers…overall GREAT experience!

Additional details
We were first time cruisers so we don't have much to compare it to in the cruise department. We do travel a lot and have pretty high expectations so we were hoping for a great/clean/fun/higher-end cruise experience. We were traveling with our children ages 9 and 11. I have a gluten allergy which was a bit tricky to navigate. The cruise ship was very clean, well maintained, and beautifully decorated.
Transportation to and from ship:
We took a car service--from Ft. Lauderdale airport to ship in Miami. We had our driver stop so we could purchase a case or two of bottled water/seltzer--worth the extra $10 fee. We paid about $100 inclusive to transport the 4 of us. We took the Norwegian bus back to Ft. Lauderdale--this was also $100 and it was a MESS. The line was long and there was miscommunication and we were all frustrated…not a great way to end vacation. I would recommend taking a cab/car service it works out to be the same for better service.
Cabin Review
The room was perfect for our family of 4. We had the family mini suite and the size was good. There were lots of little spaces to store things and the bathroom was nicely laid out…The balcony was on the small end, but it was fine. Again, not having much to compare it to cruise wise, but the room seemed to be well thought-out. The room was quiet and being mid-ship was nice.
