Booked this cruse at the last minute because the price, $306.00 for an interior room. Ended up getting upgraded to a midship balcony through the Upgrade Andvantage program. Had read a lot of horror stories about embarking from NOLA but overall it wasn't too bad, the line was long but it moved at a steady rate. Disembarking went very smooth, found our luggage immediately. We spent a day and a half ...

My wife and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary so we decided we'd try NCL booking the Haven. Well worth it at the price point we got. Service was great...priority embarkation/debarkation was terrific! Made the whole thing worth it right there! The entertainment was great. We really enjoyed The Million Dollar Quartet, the actors were excellent. Burn the Floor was quite a show, too. We did pay ...

We booked this cruise only a couple of months in advance to get out of town at Mardi Gras. We usually do go somewhere Mardi Gras week because school is out for the week. Although we had just cruised on the Getaway at Thanksgiving 2019, we figured why not? Because we are local to the New Orleans area, it is not necessary to fly to cruise for us, and that’s convenient. We love cruising. We already ...

We were slightly apprehensive going on our first NCL cruise on a large ship like the Getaway given some of the negative reviews. However, we had a great time and can’t believe why some people are so critical. There are, to be fair a few areas that could be improved but overall a lovely ship with pleasant, helpful staff. We had a balcony cabin which was very spacious with a lovely shower (glass ...

My 50th bday "Getaway" was a 9 nite tropical adventure! Ports of call were Georgetown, Grand Cayman; Roatan Island, Honduras; Costa Maya, Mexico; Ocho Rios, Jamaica; and Harvest Caye, Belize. The Getaway is a lovely vessel for exploring the Western Caribbean! Among the boat's highlight's are the Boardwalk- an outdoor promenade with seating, bars and restaurants! We enjoyed relaxing on the ...

Overall we enjoyed our cruise, although we found the ship to be too big. We prefer smaller ships. Food, complimentary or other was very good and fresh. Service is always great. Service for drinks was great at several venues. Our favs were th eSunset Bar with Neli and Ray, And O Shenans Bar. Getting on the ship was a long process but not NCL 's fault. They were late coming in due to bad ...

We choose this cruise because we had not been to most of the stops nor traveled with Norwegian and wanted to give it a try. Aside from the embarkation which was a NIGHTMARE because we waited in lines for over 3 hours with absolutely no communication from anyone regarding what was going on! People were lined up on the street for what seemed like miles. We heard rumor the ship was 3 hours late ...

My wife and I chose this cruise mainly based on price. We traveled on our own to New Orleans and spent two nights there before the cruise. We enjoyed Bourbon Street, a ride on the streetcars, and the World War 2 Museum. The museum was awesome. We stayed at the Lafayette Hotel and were able to walk to the ship. If you don't have a lot of heavy luggage, and are staying the the ...

This is probably our 10th total cruise and at least our 7th on NCL. Me an my Wife are in our early 40's and had a 7 year old daughter that was traveling with us as well. We had a family balcony room on the 12th deck with easy access to the kids club. We were able to utilize the promo with the 5 free offers with airfare and transfer. Probably one of the best values that we have gotten to date on a ...

First Big Ship, Still Not Sure

We spent several days in New Orleans before the cruise because...well...it’s N’awlins! We stayed close enough to the port so walking there was easy. Embarkation was fairly easy; we boarded with our two carry ones, headed for O’Sheehan’s and waited for cabins to be available. The biggest drawback to our cabin location is that it overlooked the bow. Great view, but a challenging obstacle course ...
