My wife and I cruised with our relatives from South Miami. NCL was their choice of Cruise Line. This was our fourth cruise we previously cruised with Carnival and Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. The NCL concept of a freestyle cruise was new to us and we were curious. The NCL Getaway Cruise Ship has dedicated a goodly portion of the ship to an area referred to as the Haven. The Haven area was off limits to us and was more for the wealthy passengers. The NCL Getaway Cruise ship was put in service in 2014 and we found the ship it self to be much to our liking. We had a balcony room on deck 12 and found the room to be very accommodating for two people. The ship has three complimentary dinning rooms we found to be very attractive and no problem getting a table. We had a three night dinning package which we recommend and found the specialty dinning restaurants to be of high standards and excellent food and service. With the freestyle cruise concept you are not committed to a early or late seating. However, reservations are required in the specialty restaurants. Negative comments: we missed the broadway shows; we prefer the late seating in the dinning room; we found the pools to be inadequate and too small for the size of the ship. My wife and me will probably not cruise again with NCL.

Cabin Review

Family Balcony Stateroom

Cabin B2

The cabin was comfortable with an adequate balcony. The cabin and balcony was large enough for two adults.

Port Reviews

Miami

Miami, is our choice of destinations to cruise from. We are happy with the facility and the view of Miami leaving the port.

Roatan

On our own we found transportation to the beach and found the beach to be beautiful and nice for swimming.

Belize City

There was no dock for the ship and because of shallow waters we had a fifteen minute tender ride to the Belize Dock

Costa Maya

We found our own transportation to the beach and walked from the taxi to the beach about two blocks from where we were dropped off. The beach was beautiful and nice to swim from. The local vendors were accommodating and friendly.

Cozumel

The ship was able to dock and the distance to the Island was shorten by the passenger shuttle. Plenty of shopping and good buys on wine and spirits.
