Norwegian Getaway Senior Cruises Cruise Reviews

The Getaway is a fantastic ship for 2300 people. The problem is they put 4000 on it... In no particular order: The HVAC system onboard seemed overwhelmed in the common areas and in the cabins it seemed they ...

Sorry NCL, other cruise lines are better.

Decided to try NCL due to price and Free at Sea promotion. I’ve cruised previously with Princess and Royal Caribbean. Unfortunately, NCL paled in comparison. Food quality was good in the main dining room and ...

Anything but "Freestyle"

Chose this ship because of a casino promotion. Had never sailed on NCL before, but wanted to try them. We quickly learned that with the free at sea promotion, you have to plan your dinner reservations out months. ...

Left something to be Desired

We originally chose this specific ship because of the affordability of the balcony rooms. Ignoring the negative reviews we went ahead and hit the button as a balcony room was a must for us. Pros: The cabin was as ...

Disappointing Experience

Although I have been on other cruise lines, this was my first experience with Norwegian. After this experience, I will not be back. The entire cruise just seemed like an attempt to nickel and dime as much cash as ...

Painfully Mediocre

This was my first NCL cruise and the “freestyle” method left a little to be desired. Many activities required a cover charge/entry fee so we felt like we were nickeled and dimed throughout the trip. The food ...

Thumbs Down on this Cruise

Never been on a cruise to the Caribean before and wanted something more than a 7-day vacation. Embarking from New Orleans was a nightmare. It took over 3 hours to board and it was a complete mob scene. I had ...

Getaway--nah

It had been about 6 years since we had last cruised with NCL and thought we'd go back to them for a change even though New Orleans is further away for us. We got to the pier about 11:30 am. Embarkation was ok. We ...

Overpaid / Overbooked / Under Staffed = Nightmare

First off I would like to commend all of the staff and officers for doing the very best they could with the overbooked cruise nightmare we just got off of. Clearly NCL did not have adequate staff or room for all ...

Disappointments abound...

This was only our second cruise, and had it been our first it may well have been our last. Our first was on Celebrity Summit, a significantly smaller ship...but size was not the issue here, quality was. Let me ...

Worst Cruise Ever

The lack of service aboard the ship was appalling. You would for 10 plus minutes after ordering for a soda or drink from the bar. When you needed a refill you had to ask multiple times and wait. On one night we had ...

No management

As a recommendation from close friends we were convinced that this would be the prefect way to get "out feet wet" with cruising. Our friends had been on many cruises before this and certainly knew the ropes. What ...

NCL could have done better!

This was our 12th NCL cruise in the past 17 years and I must say the level of customer service has dropped considerably over those years. Much of the shortfalls on this particular cruise had to do with the weather ...

We went with several couples. This ship is too large to be organized. I sensed some of the crew was not trained in their jobs. Have only been on one other NCL cruise. This cruise was the worst of the 10 cruises we ...
