First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

I’m not gonna lie, but the staff on the cruise was great. Did we miss a port because of of winds, yes. Did the casino kick my butt, yes. But you can’t blame the crew and the staff for that. We were first time cruises , getting our feet wet. But overall, my wife and I enjoyed it. The staff did their best to help those who came first. My best respect came from the bar staff, I was not a typical ...

I chose this cruise because of its itinerary; in particular, Italy and Spain ports. I was very satisfied with booking process and the help I re wives from NCL agents . NCL had good pricing and promotions like drink package, on board credit, 150 min of free WIFI, and specialty dining. We were happy with our stateroom(10th floor, window) and our steward. Overall, the NCL staff was friendly, ...

Not impressed with food quality

One of the main reasons for a cruise is the food. In the past you could get a very good meal without going to a specialty restaurant, that does not look to be the case anymore. This is our 4th cruise and this was the worst food by far, we did not have a good meal in the complimentary restaurants. The complimentary restaurants were subpar with no flavor and low quality. The exception was ...

We booked this cruise 1 1/2 years ago when it was supposed to be the new ship, Viva. It wasn't finished due to supply chain issues and the Getaway went in it's place. There were well over 4K people on this ship AND 1500 children. Way too many people. I thought the food at Savor, Tropicana, and Taste were really good. We would upgrade and get the Cagney Steak for $15 upcharge. There were so many ...

Booked next morning to Lisbon, had car reserved to get us to Vigo, flight late, had to cancel car, no baggage, missed ship, no hotels in Lisbon because of Pope visit, so we missed next port Vigo. We had to Uber to Porto €480, hotel €150 ...

We chose this cruise mainly for the itinerary but everything else was fantastic. The staff were all excellent and very friendly - so key when you’re on vacation. The ship was kept very clean. The food ( selection and quality ) was great. We loved all the specialty restaurants that we tried. We had reserved dining before our cruise sail date so we were lucky. I had heard that others found it ...

Several years I started a series of blogs relating our adventures[and misadventures] of cruising with someone who has walking difficulties ie my husband. For anonymity I call him 6. You may remember the 70s series about Steve Austin an astronaut who was severely injured and rebuilt with bionics to the tune of 6 million dollars. Well as a result of Rheumatoid arthritis hitting him in his ...

We live in Hawaii. My wife and I wanted to take our 14-year-old daughter on a big trip before she gets older and might no longer be interested in traveling with us. Our goal was to create family memories, expose her to different cultures and show our daughter that the world is a far bigger place than just Hawaii. We booked the Norwegian 'Getaway' with the following itinerary: Jul ...

We have just disembarked from the Norwegian Getaway after our cruise from Venice to Athens. It was my husband and I sailing and our 2 and 5 year old daughters. We started off the holiday with a wonderful few days in Venice and then on the final day we caught the train from Trieste down to Venice with many other NCL passengers. When we arrived we very quickly realised that there were very few ...

We chose this cruise because of the variety of locations that the ship was going to be visiting. We booked our holiday, but with days to go, the itinerary changed.... drastically. Almost every day the time in port was shortened by 2 hrs or more. This left us with no chance to spend any quality time in port. They cancelled our stop in mykanos altogether because of choppy waves, yet 2 other ...
