We chose this cruise to get away from our cold weather and see a part of the world we've never been to.
The negative reviews (and we heard plenty on board also) are just so sad to hear.
I only ate at the buffet twice, but my husband had breakfast there often and was pleased.
The food was lovely in Taste, Savor, and the Tropicana. Sure it gets chaotic and you have to wait when you have ...
I just got back from my 10 day cruise aboard the NCL Getaway, sailing from New York City to Puerto Plata, San Juan, St. Thomas and Tortola from February 6-10 2024. The ship was beautiful and had incredible dining, great bars, fantastic entertainment and a best-in-it’s-class staff! I’m seeing some negative reviews out there, but I really don’t understand how those people could possibly see anything ...
We won a cruise for two through the casino, and it was wonderful. You had the typical elderly farts acting all doom and gloom, and the five dollar millionaires acting as though they have class, but after navigating through that, we made the best out of it.
I highly recommend NCL and Getaway. The spa was great, the food was excellent. The specialty restaurants were fine, but the ...
Chose this cruise to get away for a bit and go someplace warm. This cruise is sandwiched in between an iceland cruise already sailed and an alaskan cruise for next year. Also wanted to see Bermuda as I have not been there. Even though our itinerary was reversed and we ended up missing the stop in Bermuda because of weather the overall experience was above average. The shows, live music, and food ...
We chose this cruise based on the ports visited. We have cruised many times before but this was our first NCL experience.
We opted for a suite within the Haven which was the best decision we made.
The suite was comfortable and spacious, our butler Bernie was always reachable but not in your face.
We enjoyed the perks such as being escorted on and off the ship, also priority seating and ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 did this cruise for there were lots of places to visit we did not know yet, Naples, Palermo and Syracuse on Sicily, Corfu, and Dubrovnik, Split en Rijeka in Croatia. We only had one sea day, so that was nice. The Getaway is a big ship so on the day at sea breakfast time was very crowded. We had a balcony cabin 8738 and the balcony was large, we had two chairs and a small table and two sunbeds! ...
We took our first transatlantic cruise and had two rooms for a family of seven. We haven’t cruised since before Covid. Based on the reviews I was quite worried. Concerns were all overstated. I am at a loss for all the negative reviews. As far as I can tell, some people just cannot create their own fun. I was worried about overcrowding. Nothing of the sort. Granted, it was a transatlantic ...
