We chose this cruise because it was a port close to our home and we didn't have to fly. It was a sweet 16 cruise for my daughter and she brought her cousins along so they were happy just to be going and hanging out.
PROS
- unlimited pizza and icecream for kids
- friendly staff
- felt safe letting the kids hangout without adults the entire time "ages 9-16"
-free charm bracelet ...
I will keep this short to highlight the positive because frankly there were very few issues of concern to talk about. The Getaway is an older ship that really did not show her age and you really had to look hard to find signs of wear anywhere. The ship is very well maintained and clean in all areas. Food quality, choices and presentation to include excellant service was the best we have ever had ...
A friend invited us to join them. Big mistake. Food was tasteless unless going to specialty dining areas. Buffet sucked in plain English. Housekeeping was fantastic. All staff were outstanding and friendly. Just felt overcrowded. As a non smoker I could not spend more than 30 minutes in the casino. Smokers would rather sit in there and smoke (not playing) so that they did not have to go to the 3rd ...
Team lead server Udaya was great! So was team server Maxvel & Asst. Team Server Putu & Ari my cleaner for my room & service! Overall I had a great cruise & the service was great.

Ari was great as in needing anything & always had a smile on his face no matter what. The ...
My wife & I have 32 Princess Cruises over the years. We had about 5 enjoyable trips on this ship when it was new in the early 2004-2006 years. The ship now has a/c that struggles to cool even modestly. Palm dining room was so overly warm gentlemen were removing their jackets. Only the theatre was comfortable.
1. Shows, except for final night "Bravo" (which was superb) were a giant snooze, ...
First, I would like to say I've only cruised with Royal Caribbean (16 times) and it's the only cruise line I know. My lovely wife wanted something other than the boring Western Caribbean itinerary that's offered from our home port in Galveston TX. We've traveled to Florida ports many times, to link up with RCL ships providing better destinations. We also hold shares with all three companies, so ...
This is our fourth cruise with NCL (Majesty, Epic, Bliss, Getaway) and we have another five already booked for the future. We love NCL because of the value, the unlimited drink package, the freestyle dining, no unexpected charges, the Latitudes program and so much more. We just became Gold -- we're a little disappointed in how little the benefits increase between Silver and Gold, but we won’t be ...
Destinations was top of mind as we explored the many choices of cruise lines. A Caribbean cruise was our top choice with as many ports as possible. Norwegian Cruise Line Getaway offered a 9-day cruise to the Dominican Republic, Saint Thomas, Saint Maarten, Antigua, San Jaun Porta Rico and of course the NCL private island in the Bahamas. With only 2 full days at sea, it seemed the best value for ...
This was the 7th cruise for me and the 8th for my wife. This was the first time on Norwegian for either of us. Other cruises have been with Carnival and Royal Caribbean. Port stops included Porta Plata, DR, St. John, Antigua, St. Thomas, USVI, San Juan, PR and the cruise line’s private island, Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas. There were two complete sea days on this nine-day cruise.
We booked ...
We chose this cruise for a fun weekend activity. Instead it was a nightmare. The service level on divina was absolutely absent ! The bartenders were awful especially by the wet areas. Ship is old !!!!! No one could make a simple piña colada or margarita. People walking around with their loud personal speaker playing rap and spanish music all over the ship and in their cabins at 3am. Mostly ...
