Lacked "wow" effect, but still many positive elements

We are active cruisers, going several times a year. For this experience, the embarkation was very long with refreshments refilled. The staff was generally friendly and eventually we made it through the wait. Our first impression on the ship was disappointing. There was a two deck atrium and another three decks in height. This probably was done to add more staterooms, but that first wow ...

While most of my NCL cruises have been good, this one on the Getaway did not live up to the typical experience. The food was not as good as it was on the Escape or Epic last year. The solo coordinator was okay but not great. The balcony room I was in was near a crew area with elevator so I kept hearing a lot of banging at all hours of the day. I rarely slept through the night. I have had ...

Embarkment and disembarkment went smoothly. Rooms were very quite and cleaned and restocked more than once daily. The buffet is large and can sometimes feel disorganized and confusing. Taste, Savor and Tropicana dining areas were nice. All servers were very pleasant and attentive to what you requested. My only negative comment would be that all three restaurants always offered the same daily ...

Sixth time on the Getaway, it's like home away from home. My wife and I had a fabulous time. The cruise is as good as what you make it out to be. There were not as many kids on the ship this time due to the school year start so it was heavenly, although we never had a problem with the kids being on the ship at the same time as we are, but it does make for a bit less of a crowd. The ship is ...

My wife and I are in our 50's. This was our 7th or 8th cruise spanning RCCL, Carnival, and Princess. My wife and I sailed on this class of ship last year so quite familiar with the features, age, etc. We selected the cruise for two reasons. We had never been to southern caribbean islands before and we were able to cash in points for the cruise at a low rate. The embarkation process was a ...

We chose this cruise because of where it was going and on the advice of our travel agent. We thought the staff was amazing food was great plenty of choices. Shows were really good. We will definitely sail with them again. They made our first cruise a wonderful experience and we expected alot. Can't say enough good things. The main areas of the ship were done beautifully and were very comfortable ...

My wife and I departed for our seven-day Royal Caribbean 5 year anniversary cruise on September 8th on Freedom of the Seas. This was our first cruise ever on Royal Caribbean. We were excited to depart on a relaxing romantic Caribbean cruise... or so we thought. After being locked out on our balcony and bruised from getting knocked down, it was anything but what we were expecting. Our Cabin ...

We flew into San Juan and spent the day prior to the cruise exploring Old San Juan on our own. Old San Juan is gorgeous and filled will all kinds of shopping, dining and historical buildings, and you could easily spend days there doing everything that OSJ has to offer. We stayed at the Hampton Inn near the airport, which was a little noisy due to runway noise from the neighboring airport, but did ...

Overall, if you are looking for a fun time and lots of activities, I would recommend this ship! Embarkation was fairly quick and easy in San Juan (our embarkation port) the disembarkation was not as organized, and caused some frustration. Our ship was clean and beautiful! Walking around felt like a treasure hunt, finding something new around every turn. Our interior cabin was nicely sized, ...

I took the cruise out of San Juan in order to visit the southern Caribbean. As with everything there was the good, the bad and ugly, let’s start with the good. Embarkation and Debarkation were painless, was one of the first on the ship and one of the last off. I was on deck 8, starboard outside cable (balcony). The room was excellent, not sure why I have read people saying the rooms ...
