Norwegian Getaway Review

Additional details
The Getaway (June 20 - 27) was our second cruise, the first being on the RCL Seranade of the Seas. On the whole, we preferred the RCL experience but that is mainly because we prefer a less children oriented cruise, and perhaps a smaller ship would do less rolling.
Mainly, our concerns centered around the room. During the day, there were no sounds from the Garden Cafe buffet overhead. It is well-carpeted and no scraping chair sounds came through. However, at 3 am (!) there were all sorts of metal bangings and squealing that came through the ceiling. We could hear metal doors opening and banging shut. It was worse some nights than others.
The other noise problem came from the live music two decks above. The deep bass played in our room as well as on that deck. That would continue most nights after 1 am.
