A: The inputs are usually disabled. Some people have been able to connect on the newer NCL ships and change the input with a universal remote they brought onboard. Not easily done.
Answered by jpmato16 on April 21, 2024
A: it is possible to connect via HDMI. The TV input source is tricky. Not all remotes have input buttons. Before sailing, download remote for TV in the cabin to a smartphone phone. Good luck!

Q: Is there a dress code for any of the restaurants? I know the 1st cruise we had to do a formal night
A: Norwegian has two optional gala nights on a seven night cruise but you are free to dine anywhere without dressing up although Le Bistro and Ocean Blue do require long pants and collared shirt for men and appropriate attire for women.
Answered by RogueWaveRider on March 16, 2024
A: The only restaurants across the Norwegian fleet that enforce a dress code are Le Bistro and Ocean Blue that require men to wear long pants and a collared shirt and women to dress in nice pants or dress along with an appropriate blouse or top. Otherwi... se ALL the other restaurants allow casual wear.See More

A: Edit: there are no formals on Norwegian Cruise line. It's called dress up or not. not stressed up. I use my voice so it came out funny. there are certain restaurants that you do have to dress up a little nicer on the getaway and it was Tropicana.

A: 2 1/2 hours there is 2 1/2 hours back. Paris, a great walk around city, is worth an add on or a come back. Our favorite city. Besides the tourist attractions, a MUST is Berthillon ice cream on Isle St Louie. The island behind Notra Dame
Answered by susanleslie on March 11, 2024
A: it is worth it if you want to see Eifel Tower and Paris Piramid. Also, you might have time to see Luvre, which a must to see when in Paris. Good Luck!
Answered by maectpo58 on March 11, 2024
A: We are doing Paris next time. Highly recommend Mont St Michel. What an amazing place. Bus ride was long but not 2.5 hours

A: Given the distance, don’t risk it. Only do excursions offered by the ship.
Answered by Gravel6 on March 10, 2024
A: Taste, savor and the Tropicana are the primary dining rooms. They have the garden buffet where you can eat inside or outside. They also have o’sheehans that is open 24 hours. They also have the American diner but it’s mostly breakfast.
Answered by Gammi6 on March 2, 2024
A: The main dining room and buffet is paid through your cruise fare. look online on NCL and see what you pay for extra. it's just so much easier to do that.
Answered by enjoyurdaysmile on March 2, 2024
A: look up on NCL and see what you pay for through your cruise fare and what is not paid for through your cruise fare. buffet and MDR are paid through your cruise fare.

The luggage should be clearly labeled with your name, address and cont... act number.

A: you can make reservations once you are on board. we made reservations in the early afternoon for later that evening. it was crowded when we went in.
Answered by hunny68 on February 3, 2024
A: they will let you know what's included but when we were on the Getaway in 2022 we got soup or salad, main meal and dessert that was included.
Answered by barb1967 on January 28, 2024
A: It varies by restaurant, but you usually get an app, soup/salad, main and dessert. If you are looking at the online menus, you will see notes on items that may have additional charges.
Answered by jlynlevis on January 28, 2024
A: Some restaurants are a fixed price, while others are a la carte. For the a la Carter restaurants, you get a starter, main, and dessert. There are no restrictions except where noted on the menu. If you look at the menus online, you will see that... some may say something like $25.00 supplement for the dining package. These would be the only items that are not fully covered.See More

A: While in US waters, tax is charged. However it is very minor. I paid a total of less than10.00 on my last cruise that left out of New Orleans. It takes 8 hours to sail down the Mississippi River coming and going.
Answered by jlynlevis on January 28, 2024
A: Yes, you'll pay taxes until you reach international waters (when the slot machines and gift shops open). You'll also be responsible upon return if you plan on getting up early enough to make purchases before debarkation.
Answered by abarrett7 on January 24, 2024
A: Yes you have to pay while in dock but only USA docks. So if you board I. Miami you will pay taxes until you leave port. I can’t remember if we paid in any other ports
Answered by Gammi6 on January 22, 2024

Answered by kellygiff23 on February 12, 2024
A: Pics, no I don’t have but I know that ship well enough to express concern with 8th floor. Great ship no doubt but many venues are on 8 or maybe above or below. Never have a cabin on above or below ship attractions (pools, bars, dining, etc). Again, g... reat ship.See More
Answered by Gravel6 on January 9, 2024
A: Very close to the main public areas on deck 8 but I'd say too close. I was one deck up (on 9) which was very convenient but also quiet as there are no public areas on that deck.
Answered by EuanGEsq on January 8, 2024
A: We were on the Getaway in October. There were no USB sockets on our desk / dressing table or bedside lamps. The only one was on the back of the TV.

Answered by MikeAnFL on December 28, 2023
A: We always eat lunch at whatever main dining room is open. In the case of the Getaway that would be Taste and/or Savor. They never feel busy even if they are because of the way they’re set up but on embarkation day they’re usually a bit quieter than n... ormal. Also, since your cabin probably won’t be ready until sometime between 2 and 3 and everyone will be wandering around the ship until then it’s nice to just sit back and take the extra time to have lunch. Can’t speak on the Haven restaurant as I’m too cheap to ever stay there.See More

A: Head to the Garden Cafe on 15. That'll be open.
Answered by rjcm on December 29, 2023
A: Hi there fellow cruiser, if you’re looking for a quick bite, once onboard head to the buffet, on the Getaway The Garden Cafe is on deck 15. Another great option is The Local. On other NCL ships that pub is called O’Sheehans. Good food, good beers... , and a cool pub atmosphere. There are 20 dining options onboard the NCL/Getaway. NCL has “Freestyle” dining. So no early late assigned dining. Hope to his well help you. Happy cruising 🤩⚓️😎❣️‼️ schedule. ISee More
