Oh man, where do I start? The food was horrible. I think the best food was at the buffet which says a lot. Room service was by far the worst food. We visited three specialty dining restaurants. We went to the Italian one and food made my mom sick. then we went to the Brazilian steakhouse and they literally had three options and they were dry and flavorless. The hibachi restaurant I had high hopes ...
First the positives. The staff!! The staff were helpful and friendly. From the dining staff to the room stewards and everyone else. They were so good that I added a tip to my already prepaid tips. My room was comfortable and spacious. I was glad I opted for a large balcony with chaise lounges. The specialty restaurants were good. I enjoyed my meals at the Tropicana, especially with the ...
I chose to go on Norwegian getaway because I had went a few years prior and the experience was a good one. I decided to take a trip with two of my friends January 27, 2024 not knowing what we were walking into. The staff along with the people vacationing on the boat were not the nicest, this was a 10 day cruise and after being on for a few days and talking to multiple people, we found out that ...
NCL Getaway review 27/01/24 – 06/02/24 Cruise
It’s been 20 years since our fist cruise onboard Carnival Triumph, so since 2023 was our 50th anniversary we decided to give this one a shot since it left from New York.
NCL Getaway 10 day all inclusive cruise from New York. Ports of call were Bermuda, St. Maarten, US Virgin Ils., Porto Rico, and Puerto Plata DR.. Bermuda had to be missed ...
We chose this cruise as we wanted to see Bermuda. Unfortunately the weather meant we couldn’t dock there which is understandable but as it appears to be a regular issue NCL should warn you beforehand.
We were fortunate to have a Haven cabin and with a separate lounge and bedroom it was fantastic. Very well appointed with lots of room and loads of storage. The bed was fantastic - so comfortable ...
This is a lovely cruise ship and the staff are very kind and accommodating. We enjoyed the cruise. There are a few things that could have been better and briefly they are: The pool area/ hot tubs were overrun by what I can only call a rough crowd. Picture four hot tubs full of drunk obese people who seldom leave the tubs. They just sit in an overflowing tub all day while the empty beer cans and ...
As far as NCL ships go I liked the Getaway as I also liked her sister the Breakaway. I found the ship roomy with lots of nice spaces and lots of things to do. I use the Spice H2O during the day because it is adult only and the service there is always good. The complementary restaurants were excellent yet redundant on a 10 day cruise. The specialty restaurants were very good and food was plentiful. ...
We won a cruise for two through the casino, and it was wonderful. You had the typical elderly farts acting all doom and gloom, and the five dollar millionaires acting as though they have class, but after navigating through that, we made the best out of it.
I highly recommend NCL and Getaway. The spa was great, the food was excellent. The specialty restaurants were fine, but the ...
We had booked this cruise kind of last minute, was this or a west coast / Mexico. We had even considered a different line because of the poor experience we had on the Jewel but thought...maybe that was a one off, give NCL another chance? Very glad we did :)
Embarkation in Manhattan was less than great but considering the terminal was built when there were far less people on each ship it wasn't ...
This ship always seemed very crowded. The embarkation was very disorganized.Since we sailed out of NYC it was Cold and then cool for several days. The indoor space is very lined with indoor seating extremely limited. This is compounded by the open Casino that billows smoke smell into multiple other areas. The general impression of the crew was harried to unhappy, as it seemed the crew was very ...
