Overall, a wonderful cruise. Biggest complaints: they hold their most popular entertainment in small venues where hundreds of people are turned away. The comedians and the rock band specifically. You need to stand in line well over an hour to have any chance of getting a seat. On the other hand, their "stage shows" held in the big Broadway Theatre were not well attended because they were 1) ...

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 ...

Overall a great cruise. Pre testing start to finish took about 1hr. In line to go in was packed, (bumper to bumper), inside for tests, stations were extremely tight, then went to waiting area for results, (given card with time on it) to get in final line to get wrist band, then went through security area to boarding area. Our arrival time was between 10:30-11 got to pier at 11on Getaway ...

I had been watching cruise pricing for a Spring Break cruise out of Galveston or NOLA for sometime. When NCL added the 3rd and 4th free perk the price dropped a ton and I pulled the trigger on the Getaway cruise for my family of four. We had done this itinerary before out of NOLA on the Dawn and loved it. We convinced another family to join us so it was a group of 8 on this trip. We all ended ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

I was a first time cruiser and was delegated by my group to research cruise lines, destinations, and deals. After countless weeks of research we voted on the Norwegian Cruise Line porting out of NOLA. We were very pleased with our rates, cabins and service we received from NCL before and during our cruise. We contacted NCL to book a group cruise, we received 10 balcony cabins and 1 solo cabin. ...

I wanted to take a cruise and get away to just destress and recharge so I booked a Western Caribbean cruise on the Getaway that would let me check off two boxes on my to do list. Be in NOLA during Mardi Gras and this would complete my cruising of the Caribbean so I have done all the islands. Would definitely love to go see some again. I am not going to review the things that NCL did not have ...

We took this cruise from New Orleans, But we flew in the night before and stayed at the Whitney hotel near Bourbon Street and also a short drive to Julia street cruise ship terminal. The hotel was very expensive because of Mardi Gras at $259 US a night. We took it anyway because it was only for one night, it is essential to sleep in the night before in order not to miss your ship. We had bought ...

We were on the Getaway from the 16th to the 23rd sailing out of NOLA to the Western Caribbean. I am ranking this a 5 cause everything NCL controlled was amazing and we had a fantastic time but I will never sail out of New Orleans ever again. The story is on the bottom of the review as I didn't want to start off negative as our cruise was excellent. We flew into Memphis, spent a night on Beale ...

I am 62 and my wife is 57 and we are from Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is our third cruise. We were on the NCL Epic last year when there were numerous engine problems and our ship crashed into mooring pillars in San Juan. We received 100% credit for that cruise…this is our replacement cruise. Pre-Cruise: New Orleans We wanted to experience New Orleans, so we decided to spend a couple of ...

Just like so many of you, I came to cruise critic to read reviews before I booked my 9 Day Caribbean Cruise on NCL's Breakaway. After reading so many negative comments I still booked on NCL, because I've sailed on NCL several times before without any issues. I believe that some people return home after a cruise and then use Cruise Critic to complain about everything. Some people will complain ...
