Good points:
- Good selection of food in the buffet restaurant and at lunchtime in the Epernay restaurant.
- Some of the music in the bars - especially The Storytellers.
- The Martini bar and its staff - hugely entertaining and friendly.
- Tuscan Grill speciality restaurant food and service. Excellent and substantial dishes.
- The pool and jacuzzis.
- Our balcony cabin - ...
My entire family of six sailed on the Getaway to the Caribbean to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We had a great time because it was the first time the family has cruised together, and it was an altogether new experience for my son and grandson. Weather prevented us from visiting Bermuda, but we did get to St. Maarten, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico and Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. I ...
Oh man, where do I start? The food was horrible. I think the best food was at the buffet which says a lot. Room service was by far the worst food. We visited three specialty dining restaurants. We went to the Italian one and food made my mom sick. then we went to the Brazilian steakhouse and they literally had three options and they were dry and flavorless. The hibachi restaurant I had high hopes ...
This was a great trip. The Jewel is one of the smaller ships but it was perfect for this intinerary because it was so port-heavy. I wouldn't reccomend getting the drink package on this one. It seems like a great idea at first but if you plan to leave the ship every day to visit the islands, it would be more economical to just buy your drinks individually.
We chose this cruise because we've ...
We were very excited to once again travel on HAL. It had been a few years so were really looking forward to stopping off a several ports in NZ as well as Hobart and Melbourne. Boarding in Auckland was a breeze, everything was well planned and executed by port staff. It was all downhill from there. The weather was on most days terrible but that is what can happen in summer in NZ so we were ...
The food was only fair, but it helped me to avoid going weight. The Italian restaurant on board was fantastic and I wish I had discovered it sooner.
The excursions were great although some cancelled due to poor weather and it prevented docking. The dance show was fantastic until a performer fell off the main stage and into the descending front stage pit and required medical help. They refused ...
NCL Getaway review 27/01/24 – 06/02/24 Cruise
It’s been 20 years since our fist cruise onboard Carnival Triumph, so since 2023 was our 50th anniversary we decided to give this one a shot since it left from New York.
NCL Getaway 10 day all inclusive cruise from New York. Ports of call were Bermuda, St. Maarten, US Virgin Ils., Porto Rico, and Puerto Plata DR.. Bermuda had to be missed ...
I chose to go on Norwegian getaway because I had went a few years prior and the experience was a good one. I decided to take a trip with two of my friends January 27, 2024 not knowing what we were walking into. The staff along with the people vacationing on the boat were not the nicest, this was a 10 day cruise and after being on for a few days and talking to multiple people, we found out that ...
We chose this cruise as we wanted to see Bermuda. Unfortunately the weather meant we couldn’t dock there which is understandable but as it appears to be a regular issue NCL should warn you beforehand.
We were fortunate to have a Haven cabin and with a separate lounge and bedroom it was fantastic. Very well appointed with lots of room and loads of storage. The bed was fantastic - so comfortable ...
Our first time in the Far East and I was a little apprehensive about this cruise but from the moment of arriving in Kuala Lumpur for pre cruise stay we felt very welcomed and safe. Glad we had a couple of days to explore this great city.
We picked this itinerary solely for our bucket lists, there were plenty of ticks! We knew Jewel was getting on, but she certainly wasn’t showing her 19 years ...
