Cruised out of NOLA on the Getaway to the Western Caribbean. Disaster from the get go. We booked online...3 balcony cabins all on the same floor next to each other as we were traveling with kids and elderly passenger. We paid for 3 balcony cabins and were assigned 2 balcony cabins - one at the back of the ship on deck 10 and one one the front of the ship of deck 8 - and 1 INSIDE CABIN on Deck ...

Pros: Nice balcony room Great entertainment Cons: Embarkation was a disorganized mess. Told there would be a 'casino at sea' line but never saw it. Took one hour and fifteen minutes to check in. Terribly over-salted pre-made food. Only restaurant we had a decent meal was La Cucina Heavy sell on excursions and future cruises Poorly written Free Style dailies with limited ...

I am a platinum member of Norwegian latitude club, so this was not my first cruise with them, but it will be my last. I was staying in a spa cabin which basically means you have access to the spa. After nearly a week in my cabin of being itchy and finding bites on me, I discovered I had bedbugs. Having traveled half way around the world in my lifetime, I have never had bedbugs and was completely ...

We spent several days in New Orleans before the cruise because...well...it’s N’awlins! We stayed close enough to the port so walking there was easy. Embarkation was fairly easy; we boarded with our two carry ones, headed for O’Sheehan’s and waited for cabins to be available. The biggest drawback to our cabin location is that it overlooked the bow. Great view, but a challenging obstacle course ...

This was our third time on the Getaway. We didn't chose this cruise because of the ship, it was all about the destinations. After this one, I would be very reluctant to ever book out of New Orleans again. New Orleans itself was a great experience both before and after the cruise. We very much enjoyed exploring the city and had a fantastic time. Lots to see and experience. However, from the ...

First the ship,is typical of trying to add more decks and rooms without any more elevators, dining or show room.With 4000 people it could be elbow-to-elbow. Folks were not rude, just TOO MANY! Ship was too long. We walked from the extreme front to anywhere we wenrt. NO washers and dryers. Poor form. Shows were poor except for Burn the Floor. Only ship I have ever sailed which required show ...

I have cruised with Norwegian 8 or 9 times and really used to enjoy Freestyle cruising, but this cruise was simply a disaster from start to finish. I cruised on the Getaway when it first came out and it was a great ship, but whatever they have done to it during the remodeling has made it impossible to enjoy yourself. This ship is MOBBED with people at ever step, there is no way to get a seat ...

We originally chose this specific ship because of the affordability of the balcony rooms. Ignoring the negative reviews we went ahead and hit the button as a balcony room was a must for us. Pros: The cabin was as good as the pictures showed. It was clean, large, and I seriously wanted to take that showerhead with me. So first impressions were high. We also had an amazing snorkeling excursion in ...

Slow service at the restaurants. Italian specialty restaurant not worth the money. At the bars, the service was slow as well. At times, I didn't even get served. Staff look over-worked and short staffed. At times, staff were flat out rude. Spent a lot of time at Guest Services, as they kept messing up our account. At first, they stated we didn't even have a credit card on file (we put this ...
