We sailed on the Norwegian Getaway because we like Norwegian, and they offered friends and family for the week we could travel. Overall, the cruise was excellent. Embarkation went smoothly and quickly. It only took us about 30 minutes to go through security, check in, and be on board. We visited the Taste restaurant for lunch because we hate the chaos of buffets on embarkation day. The food was good with polite and efficient service. Cabins were not ready by 1:00 as predicted, but it did not matter since we were eating at Taste and relaxed until they gave the all clear for cabins.

One issue that we immediately noticed when in the cabin was the lack of outlets. We had only two US outlets, and my husband's bi-pap used one of those outlets at night. There were no USB ports only the two outlets so charging our phones, cameras, electric razor, and tablets was a bit of a challenge because they wanted everything unplugged whenever you left the cabin. Our cabin steward helped us out with this problem, but I recommend having some type of splitter with you unless you have nothing much to charge.

We ate in the complimentary restaurants for most of our meals but visited specialty restaurants for 3 nights. The food in both Savor and Taste was good, and we always found something on the menu that we wanted. Servers were polite and helpful, but it still took about 2 hours for dinner. One night we did Cirque, and the food and show were both very good. We had steak and shrimp with a dessert platter that was served before the show. It was delicious. One night we did Teppanyaki and enjoyed everything except the soup. None of use really care for miso soup, but the entrees were good, and our chef was entertaining and very accommodating. Our other specialty restaurant was La Cucina. Service there was excellent, and the food was good especially the shrimp ravioli in lobster sauce. I also had salmon and it was prepared nicely. O'Sheehans was nice for breakfast although the menu is more limited than at Savor or Taste. Read more
