We have cruised over 30 times, mostly with Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity, so we have a pretty good feel for what's a good cruise and what's not. We are in our late fifty-early sixties. This was the first time on a Norwegian boat and we were a little apprehensive. I've not heard much about Norwegian other than the open dining style. Our travel agent was the one who recommended the ...
This was my first cruise on NCL, but we cruise often. It was good. The crew was fun and engaging. The other cruisers were delightful and the food in the specialty restaurants was very good. The weather was great and overall it was a very pleasant trip. We are in our early fifties and we found the entertainment to be very appropriate. Check-in was a breeze (but we did arrive early) and our ...
This cruise was a gift from my wife's work for 20 years of service. We did not have a choice but what a great job they did picking this ship. This was our 1st experience with NCL but it will not be our last. I read all the horror stories about embarkation but we had no problems at all. There were lines of course but they never stopped moving, we arrived at the port by Uber at 10:30 and were on the ...
We were very disappointed with the Getaway having experienced the Escape a year ago. From the dirty towels in our stateroom to the stains on the cabinet doors to the loose shower wall to the dirty balcony, our accommodations were underwhelming for the price we paid. Additionally, the ship looks tired/run down. For example, there are at least 300 dead pixels in the screen at Spice H2O and it’s ...
We choose this cruise because we were taking our 13 year old son and his best friend on a summer vacation and were looking for a cruise that had a lot of activities for younger teens. Extremely disappointed due to the fact that they could not hang out together in the teen lounge together because his friend was just shy a couple of months of being 13, and they would not allow him in that group, so ...
This was our families first cruise and it will not be the last. We were very satisfied with the NCL Getaway. Our cabin was 9200 and it fit all our needs for a family of 4. We were impressed with the service on the ship. We were awesomely impressed with the entertainment! The food was good. Food was excellent during the Circus Soleil show. I highly recommend spending a few extra dollars for ...
I attended the cruise due too my 25th birthday overall the cruise was super fun the bartenders kept a smile on my face they sung happy too me. All though we were told that I would get a birthday cake and I didn’t the staff did not acknowledge my birthday at all the restaurant in the back of the boat mad a undone burger and I bit into it and I have having stomach pains for 3 days since the cruise ...
Was going on a family reunion/wedding. Ship was not updated nor clean. Food was not the greatest, how do you mess up corn on the cob? Linen in the room was never changed. Yes, we had the towel animal at night, however, the bed was not turned down. Found an orange stick (for nail cleaning) and happy birthday confetti in our room, it was not ours. T.V. had like 1-2 channels other than the NCL ...
To celebrate my birthday I decided to take a weekend cruise. This ship was wonderful. The staff, especially the cabin steward was wonderful. Beverages, with the exception of bottled water, are included. However the regular water tastes perfectly fine. The food was good. Great Stirrup Cay, their private island, was fun with many activities such as snoring swimming and dancing. There was always ...
My husband and I took all 15 members of our family on this cruise as a Christmas present! First it was originally supposed to be 2 days and one night in Cuba with somehow became 30 hours there . Had to pay full price for everyone including a 1 and 3 year old. There were no discounts for 3rd or 4th person in cabin. Pre booked tours in Cuba because I trusted this cruise line, only later to find I ...
