I wanted to cruise on the Getaway and the Transatlantic offered a lot for me, 10 sea days which I love and a sister ship to the Breakaway that I love too! I am familiar with the ship itself, the restaurants and all of the entertainment ...

This was a most disappointing cruise. I have never been to any of the ports and feel I only saw one third of what I expected. I understand the reason for missing the Azores. That was a safety issue. Brest France should never have been ...

I chose this cruise because it was a TA [Trans-Atlantic]. Let me say, I am not a fan of the 'big ships', too much useless space and not enough needed space. By that I mean, the main restaurants are small and only one level, incurring long ...

Having sailed on NCL 4 times since 2013 (two of which were transatlantic cruises on the Epic), we chose the Getaway to celebrate our 30th anniversary. We chose it for the itinerary, the experience on a new ship class, and our past ...

Background
We decided to take this cruise simply because we had flight credits that needed to be used by May. We wanted to go back to England and the cruise over seemed to be a good plan. We love cruising and have spent about 400 ...

My wife and I booked an April 30th 16 day transatlantic cruise not because of the company (NCL) but for the ports that we wanted to and were supposed to visit.
First issue was cleanliness of the room. My wife returned to the room to ...

We decided to take this cruise, because we have never been on a TA, and this would be perfect for us, since we wanted to go and visit family in Germany and Copenhagen is just a 45 min flight away.
We loved the Breakaway and being that ...

Of 16 days on the Norwegian Getaway’s repositioning cruise from Miami to Copenhagen, 12 were at sea. Four of five ports en route were canceled or grievously abbreviated.
On departure from Miami, there were warnings of bad weather ...

We enjoy transatlantic crossings to enjoy the ship's amenities and to avoid suffering through long airline flights. This is our fourth crossing - the third going to Europe and one from Europe to the U.S.
We chose the dining package for ...

This is my 3rd cruise with NCL and my first on a “Mega Ship”, also my first Transatlantic. My best friend and I planned this trip for nearly a year.
We flew to Miami on April 29th and stayed at Best Western Premier ...

I chose this cruise, B2B and Baltic Capitals, for the fact that I could do two cruises in one. I have read the other reviews and mostly agree with others. We (my Husband, my two cousins, my aunt, and my cousins wife and I) were sorely ...

This was my husband and my first TA cruise and first NCL Cruise. Love this ship and NCL. I will say 6days at sea is a lot. The age demagraphics was quite different than we expected we are in our mid 40s and the average age on this cruise ...

We did back to back, trans Atlantic and Baltic. Not enough time in port especially when it takes such a long time to disembark. Shore excursions grossly expensive and of poor value. Luckily the two Day Petersburg tour was thru a private ...

This was a nightmare cruise from start to finish. Long lines at embarkation and NCL eliminated priority for Gold Members...only platinum and platinum plus. We entered our cabin to find blood stains on our duvet and old, yellowed, pilled ...

We took the Getaway on April 30th from Miami to Copenhagen and were very disappointed! The name of this ship should be Stayaway instead of Getaway. The design of the ship was not adequate for 4000 passengers. The lines for the main dining ...

This cruise was HORRIBLE. NCL is focused only on profits and not customer experience. Once they have your money they ignore you. To summarize A: we were to stop at 5 European ports before our arrival in Copennhagen, we only made 1 ...

Other disappointed & disgruntled passengers have left extensive reviews on this poorly executed NCL Getaway repositioning cruise. They are all worth reading. I would like to add that 3 of our party of 4 contracted a serious bronchial ...

When searching for a cruise, this one showed up in an email with a price that couldn't be passed up. The cruise experience, along with the visits to places we might not otherwise see, was a big positive. The accommodations, public spaces, ...

First, let me just say I enjoyed the cruise. But, there were so many things wrong with the cruise that what should have been a great experience was reduced to a standard good experience.

We chose this cruise because we live just south of Tampa and had yet to use this port since moving down here five years ago. We love transatlantic cruises and this was our first time doing it eastbound. The bonus for us was that the Jade ...

Several stories have been going around regarding missing ports and long lines to get back on the ship during this cruise. The Azores was missed because of high wind and waves which were a safety issue when trying to dock. An electrical ...
