We chose this cruise to get away from our cold weather and see a part of the world we've never been to.
The negative reviews (and we heard plenty on board also) are just so sad to hear.
I only ate at the buffet twice, but my husband had breakfast there often and was pleased.
The food was lovely in Taste, Savor, and the Tropicana. Sure it gets chaotic and you have to wait when you have ...
I just got back from my 10 day cruise aboard the NCL Getaway, sailing from New York City to Puerto Plata, San Juan, St. Thomas and Tortola from February 6-10 2024. The ship was beautiful and had incredible dining, great bars, fantastic entertainment and a best-in-it’s-class staff! I’m seeing some negative reviews out there, but I really don’t understand how those people could possibly see anything ...
We won a cruise for two through the casino, and it was wonderful. You had the typical elderly farts acting all doom and gloom, and the five dollar millionaires acting as though they have class, but after navigating through that, we made the best out of it.
I highly recommend NCL and Getaway. The spa was great, the food was excellent. The specialty restaurants were fine, but the ...
We wanted to do something different for the holidays but after being a bit disappointed by the high passenger loads and reduced staffing and services on some recent cruises, our expectations were a bit muted. Also we were not enthused about flying during such a busy time of year.
As it turned out, the QM2's cruise to the Caribbean over Christmas and New Years was a very pleasant surprise. We ...
Scones with clotted cream EVERY SINGLE DAY!! And hands down the best ship's library ever (though I've only been on 5 ships in life so far). My husband and I did our first crossing from NYC to Southampton in October 2022, and we loved it enough to come back again. The first crossing in 2022 was even better in the entertainment realm--we joined the National Symphony (I think that was the name; their ...
Chose this cruise to get away for a bit and go someplace warm. This cruise is sandwiched in between an iceland cruise already sailed and an alaskan cruise for next year. Also wanted to see Bermuda as I have not been there. Even though our itinerary was reversed and we ended up missing the stop in Bermuda because of weather the overall experience was above average. The shows, live music, and food ...
The boat looked splendid as she was recently refreshed. She was freshly painted on the exterior and looked amazing. The interior refresh included some new soft goods such as carpets and upholstery, however as expected there are still some areas that need repair.
Embarkation was smooth. We arrived at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal around 11:30am. Our assigned check in time was 3:00 pm. We stood in ...
It’s our second time on cruise for last 12 years! The food was ok. We only did few days of the formal dining out of total 9 days since the formal dining courses sometimes were not impressive. However, we love our waiters and the manager at the dining place, also the staff at the market place are all friendly.
My son has severe peanut allergy, the manager Edi at the restaurant always checked in ...
My wife and I chose this cruise because it left where we wanted (New York, a 30 minute cab ride from our apartment) and went where we wanted to go (Barbados) with stops on the way (Bermuda, San Juan, St Barts) we like, plus it was a new ship, looked beautiful in the photos and we like being at sea. We're not ardent cruisers, but will take traveling by ship over an airplane when a ship is an ...
The all-inclusive trip began with a beautiful departure out of NYC, and ended in Miami. Favorite stops were Bermuda, St. Barths and the ABC islands. Accommodations were superb, dining excellent, evening entertainment was also very good. They really make sure you have plenty to eat and top quality cocktails and liquors. After each evening's entertainment we frequented the same lounge and the ...
