I chose this cruise as a means to visit the 6 countries it travels to. The entire experience exceeded my expectations. Embarking and disembarking were quite efficient and easy. We decided to upgrade to a balcony suite before booking and it was a great decision. Our cabin had more than enough room and was clean and very functional. The food was outstanding and we easily got seated for every meal. I only frequented the buffet for my first meal. We saw 2 outstanding shows in the theater and good music acts throughout. I also enjoyed relaxing and walking on the top decks. Every employee was friendly and efficient in their roles. Each port offered something different and the timing of each was very good. The ship was efficient and clean throughout. I would absolutely recommend NCL and the Getaway. I am a tough critic and I honestly was very happy throughout.
