Our first cruise, booked 2 wks prior to sailing just to visit Bermuda & see what other places we might one day revisit. Bermuda cancelled day 6. Jumped ship in Tortola to avoid 4.5 days of rough seas & gale force winds back to NYC.Had 2 Br Villa in The Haven. Unfortunately, out of about 200 people on deck 15 & 16 in The Haven, 20% were unruly, screaming, football throwing, hot tub hogging under 10 ...
I just got back from my 10 day cruise aboard the NCL Getaway, sailing from New York City to Puerto Plata, San Juan, St. Thomas and Tortola from February 6-10 2024. The ship was beautiful and had incredible dining, great bars, fantastic entertainment and a best-in-it’s-class staff! I’m seeing some negative reviews out there, but I really don’t understand how those people could possibly see anything ...
Our favorite vacation is a cruise and have found in the past NCL to be to our liking as we have never encountered any issues until recently.
Food, if we hadn't purchased the specialty dining packages (four in total) we would have been very disappointed as the food in the general dining restaurants was very bland and lacked any special flare.
On board entertainment and service was very ...
I decided to book this cruise after seeing a great deal from Norwegian Cruise Line. I heard really good things about the family-friendly atmosphere on their ships, so I was excited to give it a try. However, my time onboard didn't quite match up to what I had expected.
I've never had issues with motion sickness before, but we hit some rough seas on the way from NYC to SC. It was pretty intense ...
Not a very good experience and we don't recommend this cruise ship to anyone. Food was mediocre to below average. Buffett was chaotic, unorganized and food was either chewy and or cold. Surpisingly the pizza was very good (thin crust) but there's so much pizza you can eat. Food at O'Sheehan's wasn't very good with the burger tasting like some type of mystery meat? I requested mine to be prepared ...
Experience on Norwegian Getaway
Feb. 6 to 16, 2024
Pros: the bar staff in the Atrium were fantastic. The service was amazing snd the kept us laughing every time. The guests for the most part were very pleasant.
CONS: Adult only Hot Tubs were filled with kids the whole cruise.
The food at the buffet tasted like refried leftovers from the main dining room either cold or hard and dry. In ...
This was our first NCL cruise. We (wife and I) have cruised on three other lines before and are trying different lines to find the one that best suits our tastes in order to develop loyalty. We booked a last minute inside cabin. We opted not to seek an upgrade since we really liked the location of our cabin (mid ship with cabins above and below). We also declined the free at sea options since ...
Bring a frequent NCL customer I have to say honestly that this was the worst cruises I ever experienced.
Our first day started out as usual. Everything was busy but nothing unusual. I signed up for cruise next based on my previous cruise experirnces with NCL while we waited for our cabin to be ready. When we got into our cabin we were upset to find that the previous cruisers trash was still in ...
This ship is big and the reviews weren’t great but I found the food very good with lots of variety and fresh fruit. The shows were excellent but the bad did not outweigh the good. The ship is noisy with no place to sit and read. There was not much to do on sea days, in the evenings there were shows but in the daytime it was just drinking and gambling which I don’t do.
We missed the Bermuda ...
My entire family of six sailed on the Getaway to the Caribbean to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We had a great time because it was the first time the family has cruised together, and it was an altogether new experience for my son and grandson. Weather prevented us from visiting Bermuda, but we did get to St. Maarten, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico and Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. I ...
