Review summary

The cruise overall is ok, very modern and chic ship, very hip but feels dark and too enclosed, dosent have the big wide open Main Street of other cruises I've been before. Food is not horrible but it's not wonderfull either, just ok. 

The service is good,especially from the state room concierge, very delligent. The entertainment on the other hand is lame. Too much of the 80's music and the entertainment team is not that much fun. Have to say that Burn the floor dance show was fenomenal, don't miss it. There is also a really good kids program my daughter was very pleased with all the activities. If this is your first cruise you'll probably like it better than what i did but having the experience of cruising with RC before I had to compare and will rather go back with RC instead of Norwegian.

Cabins are extremely small, had to upgrade because of how small and tigth the cabin space felt.

Ship tip

Don't book the inside state rooms, rooms are very small Also very small halls 2 people can't walk side by side at a time Take advantage of the easy booking and easy access to cruise info using the touch screen located all over the place, avoid long lines in the customer service desk.

My hubby and I have been on five cruises. We went on the Getaway in 2014 and loved it!! The entertainment was nice the cruise director was part of the entertainment crew and he was great. They have plenty of speciality restaurants so we purchased the dinner package and they were great. The shopping was nice and plentiful, they had a few wine & cocktail tasting events and an ice bar. Very nice!

Remember this is one persons opinion. I have read hundreds of reviews that were amazing and only a few that were under four stars.

RC sucks so this must have been real bad. They need to shut her down then.
