My husband and I are 60+ and this was our 2nd Norwegian cruise. We live in Florida, so there is no review for a Miami hotel. Getting to the ship is fairly easy, there are clearly posted signs in the city as to how to get to the ship's embarkation. However, be forwarned, if you park at the port terminal it is expensive. You are better off exploring other parking options. Getting onboard was relatively quick and painless, as we are return guests and got on an expedited line. The Getaway is a huge ship. I want to say that if you have trouble walking distances be aware of this. However, there are plenty of places to sit along the way. I felt that the two pools were small for the size of the ship. They were always crowded. Overall, it is a lovely vessel, very clean and well maintained. Of course, it is still new.

Freestyle dining is one of the main reasons that we like Norwegian so much and the dining experiences were from poor to excellent. We chose the ultimate dining package as a perk upon booking the cruise and that gave us some more options. Our worse experience was at Taste where my husband ordered a cornish hen dinner and was served half of a cornish hen! Our second worst food experience were the all you can eat ribs at O'Sheehans. I actually could not eat the ribs that were served to me. Plus service was poor and disorganized. Our best experiences included Teppanyaki, the Japanese restaurant (highly recommended) and the Brazilian Moderno Churrascaria (wish we had eaten there more). Of course the buffet was good for breakfast. It seemed that if there was a way to cut corners, it was done at the restaurants. Entertainment was very, very good. There was always something to see and experience. I highly, highly recommend seeing Burn The Floor. That is a Broadway quality production! Other than the two poor dining experiences my only other complaint was disembarkation. It was tedious, drawn out and miserable. I hope they find another way to do it. Overall, this was a good cruise experience and we will cruise Norwegian again.
