Review summary

NEARLY 25 YEARS AGO MY WIFE AND I MADE OUR VERY FIRST CRUISE, IT WAS WONDERFUL. THROUGHOUT THOSE YEARS WE HAVE TRIED MANY CRUISE LINES AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN SATISFIED WITH OUR CRUISES. ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO WE DISCOVERED NCL AND FREESTYLE. WE HAVE MADE 9 CRUISES  SINCE THEN ON 8 DIFFERENT NCL SHIPS AND I MUST SAY WE HAVE NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED. LAST WEEK WE SAILED ABOARD THE NCL CRUISE SHIP GETAWAY AND IT WAS THE VERY BEST YET. WE SAILED TO ST. MARTEN AND ST THOMAS AND BACK TO NASSAU BAHAMAS. I WILL TRY TO BE BRIEF IN EXPLAINING THAT EVERYTHING, DINING, PORTS, STATEROOM, ENTERTAINMENT, CASINO, FOOD AND WARMTH AND CHARM OF THE STAFF WAS OVERWHELMINGLY WONDERFUL...OUTSIDE OF THE TERRIBLE SEATS WITH A HARD METAL BAR BRUISING YOUR BUTTOCKS IN THE THEATER, I GIVE THIS CRUISE SHIP A 10+...WE DEFINITELY WILL CRUISE ON THIS SHIP AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.
