Norwegian Getaway Review
Transatlantic with hiccups followed by Baltic Capitals
Rating by category
Additional details
We enjoy transatlantic crossings to enjoy the ship's amenities and to avoid suffering through long airline flights. This is our fourth crossing - the third going to Europe and one from Europe to the U.S.
We chose the dining package for our booking bonus, which gave us 4 specialty restaurants on the transatlantic leg and 3 on the added Baltic Capitals leg.
Since we have been to the Azores before, missing it due to weather and swells was not major. Missing Bruges, Belgium was a bit more disappointing but not a major letdown since we love sea days and are capable of enjoying the time.
Cabin Review
Balcony Stateroom
I don't usually get a balcony room. I enjoyed our tiny balcony to read and write and review my pictures and enjoy penning my thoughts and consider all the blessings in life (friends, family, physical health, etc).
Yes, a bit cramped. Yes, a bit more costly. But, I saw a fireworks display while leaving Germany (starboard side balcony). You can't pay enough for that.
It would have been nice to see some sea life. But I didn't. I did see sunshine and felt warmth. These are pluses.
All in all, a great balcony experience that beat the pants off my usual inboard cabin with no windows.
