The Norwegian Getaway is no doubt a large, beautiful ship. For the most part the staff if very helpful and responsive. The problem areas are as follows:

1) The main Pool. Whoever planned the pool size for a ship holding over 4000 passengers should be fired. On a sunny sea day, there are no chairs available after 8am. There is an H2O adults only area, however there is NO pool, just 2 small hot tubs. FOr a brand new ship, was simply inexcusable.

2) Want to try and book the Vibe Beach Club? Unless you arive in group 1, FORGET IT. The few spots sellout quickly, although I do challenge their system for being honest and fair. When I boarded (group 8), I went immediately to customer service to ourchase the Vibe, only to be told it was sold out already. Funny they also said I can be placed on a standby list if someone doesnt show up. SInce there are no early reservations, how could it be that no one "would show up"? Something smells in this process. Funnier is it was only half full on most days.

Very Disorganized and boarding began late. When I asked about the early boarding that I was told casino players would have, I was told no such early boarding exists!
