We chose this cruise to coincide with our grandchildren's spring break from high school in snowy Colorado! We also chose it because they sailed free!
They both REALLY enjoyed their cruise and we REALLY enjoyed them! They were the perfect age for grandparents to cruise with! They are self sufficient, they loved having their own keycards and the ability to go grab a bite and/or a beverage by ...
Firstly, our itinerary was changed prior to embarkation causing some minor hassle but in these times we had to go with it.
Check-in at the fantastic new NCL terminal in Miami is breathtaking, unfortunately, the check-in staff was not very well informed regarding Latitudes embarkation.
Once onboard we headed straight for the pool deck for a cocktail, we were greeted by very abrupt, rude ...
I needed a post COVID break. The cruise was not full which made the ratio of staff to customers just a equal.
There were not the usual variety and number of shows and this ship lacks the smaller piano bars.
The ship was especially clean and the crew were so happy to have us on board.
The food service for my special diet was exceptional.
I had a balcony cabin and enjoyed the addition ...
My wife and I sailed on NCL Getaway out of Miami 2/2/22. There are tons information about the ports and excursions so I am going to focus on something else. Service! (good or poor) can make an average cruise great or leave a bad feeling about the entire experience. We booked a room in the Haven (yes it’s worth the extra cost) the two bedroom villa # 16112. The two bedroom suite has two bathrooms ...
I guess I should begin by saying that we have been to Miami a couple of times and noticed a remarked difference in attitude from staff at hotels. I should really advise of a small con when you book a taxi to the Cruise Port. We did this twice (we were on the Joy following the Getaway) and the same thing happened on both occasions from different hotels. Instead of a taxi arriving a massive black ...
We have cruised with Norwegian in the past and have been very satisfied (the Pearl). The dining options are always good as is the food. I really like the specialty restaurants, but my husband likes the buffet, so you can't lose.
The staff is always wonderful. We were pleased with the COVID protocol and safety measures. They were always busy cleaning.
We were less than impressed with ...
I chose a Norwegian cruise mainly for the thermal spa area. The cruise was a rowdy one. The quiet zone was not enforced at all. The larger issue for me was the staff not enforcing the wearing of masks. In the buffet was the only time staff actually told people to put on masks. I got up once to get a spoon and was reminded to go back and get my mask. In the spa, the Atrium, the theater, and ...
About the Reviewer: I’m a middle-aged man who sailed on the Norwegian Getaway New Year’s cruise from December 27, 2021 to January 5, 2022. Of note, this was the last cruise before the ship paused service in January 2022 due to COVID issues among the crew. This was my 49th overall cruise and my 28th with Norwegian Cruise Line. I bid on and won an upgrade to a club balcony (mini) suite. This ship ...
This cruise was a last minute (2 weeks before sailing) due to my other line and selected ship changing. I was able to stay with the same itinerary which was important.
I’ll start with the few negatives.
The extra costs. The free options are not as vast as on other ships, but the Complimentary offerings are sufficient. Before the staff moves on anything your sea card will be handed over. ...
Okay, so we all understand this new Covid world we live in and make adjustments accordingly but I think NCL tried to push its luck one to many times with this cruise out of Miami on 12/27. My other Covid era reference was on the NCL Encore out of Seattle on 10/9, which was extremely well done.
So what was different here? For my wife and I we noticed immediately at check in at the Port of ...
