As context for this review, we travelled on the Getaway on the October 18th sailing. I participated on the roll call here on the Cruise Critic site and encourage others to do the same as it helps build both knowledge and anticipation before the cruise.

This was our first cruise in a few years, and first with Norwegian, after sticking to mostly all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean (Sandals, Iberostar, etc.) over the past few years. We travelled alone as a couple, and both of us are in our early 50’s.
