What an amazing ship and great week! We sailed in mid-December.

Embarkation: It was efficient. We have gold status and had no waiting time to check in, but then waited in holding. We arrived at 10:45 and were given group 4 by a guy at the top of the escalator after check in. Group 4 boarded around 11:35. I wish they didn't just rely on a guy walking around saying numbers. He didn't have a paddle or anything, like we've experienced in the past.

Service: TOP notch. I had one small issue in the dining room and it was taken care of by the manager with appropriate kindness and humor. Room steward was attentive, bartenders were amazing, and waitstaff were the best we've experienced in a few years on NCL.

Cabin Review

Large Balcony Stateroom

Cabin B6

I knew from reading Cruise Critic that having the bed by the closet (and not the balcony door) would be tight. It was. I mostly used the drawers under the couch to keep us in separate dressing areas during the day. Otherwise, the room was great. Ample room inside, a comfy bed, a good sized sink and shower, and the large balcony category was great. In this room, the bridge hangs right over the room (up higher, of course), and there is a glass floor. We never saw anyone, but it was kind of funny knowing they could look down at any time upon us. Honestly, though, I didn't feel like we needed a balcony on the Getaway. There were a lot of little nooks to sit comfortably. Though breakfast on the balcony was nice on port days!
