After a recent NCL cruise on the new Getaway, I can only advise the public that the ship itself is beautiful, but beware of the " who cares" attitude that is exhibited by the NCL guest relations department.

Sixteen pieces of clothing had to be sent to the laundry and cleaned and pressed . Guest relation's response ? " We have no control over the rain." I am still fighting over getting compensated for my one bag that now has a nasty mildew smell, even though their laundry was supposed to clean and dry the bag. No one at the guest relations desk apologized.
