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 ...
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 ...
This ship is big and the reviews weren’t great but I found the food very good with lots of variety and fresh fruit. The shows were excellent but the bad did not outweigh the good. The ship is noisy with no place to sit and read. There was not much to do on sea days, in the evenings there were shows but in the daytime it was just drinking and gambling which I don’t do.
We missed the Bermuda ...
I chose this cruise because it was out of N.Y. and we didn't have to fly. also didn't want to take a longer 10 day cruise, this one was only 5 days. Which worked for us.
Embarkation : This was terrible on pervious cruises we would just arrive at the time we selected and walk right on. Not so on this one, they didn't let anyone board the ship until 12:30. Sat crammed in the cruise terminal ...
We did a 12 day holiday cruise from NYC to the Caribbean on the Getaway, our second time on this ship. First let me say that we are so very grateful for the folks working over the holidays so we could take a vacation.
The good: the Port of NY has the embarkation process down. We registered for an 11 a.m. time, showed up on time and were moved through all lines quickly and smoothly. Once we had ...
we wanted to something different that's why we picked this cruise. Started off bad when norwegian said they don't price match. The food was basic not many new option for a 12 days cruise. The entertainment was boring and the cruise director thought he was a celebrity. Sold out cruise , only open their nightclub Bliss for after party for new year for 4000+ guest. New years party in the cold , no ...
Overall an enjoyable cruise with one of our favourite cruise lines. The food was very good and on a few occasions much better than expected. However the Prima not our favourite ship, by a long way. The layout is poor with small venues and tight walkways, they really have crammed everything into this ship.
THE SHIP
As stated we were not fans of the ship overall, the decor is stunning in most ...
For comparison, we were on the NCL Escape last year. Newer doesn’t mean better. This is the case of the NCL Prima. It feels like being on a moving upscale hotel on water. It’s not like being on a typical cruise ship that we used to. The general areas where the shops, the customer services are located are just “blah”, nothing fancy. There is no sparkling twirling staircase or fancy ceiling. ...
We took this cruise with minimal expectations, and were not disappointed in this respect. Embarkation was at times quite chaotic. The ship is beautiful, quite impressive. The cabin with balcony was quiet, comfortable and as expected. Room Service was not impressive, when we arrived we found that the cabin that was declared cleaned and sanitized was mostly not. But they responded quickly to our ...
We chose this cruise because it was going to interesting places we hadn't seen before, and finishing in New York. Firstly we would mention that the ship was very nice, as was our room. On the whole, the food was very good, (on many occasions, could be hotter) and in most cases the staff were excellent. However in regard to organisation, It was a shambles! Half way through the cruise they ran out ...
