Review summary

This cruise was phenomenal.  We had soooooooo much fun on and off the ship. The crew were the most personable, accommodating and fun people you ever want to meet.  The people on board were friendly and everyone we talked to - those die-hard-been-cruising-every-year-for-the-last-20-years - ALL agreed that FREE SYLING IS THE WAY TO GO!

 

My only disappointment was with the pictures!  We spent over 2 hours putting our photo book together.  We were told it would be ready at 9pm Saturday night.  At 9 pm, we were told it would be ready at 11pm.  At 11pm, we were told it would be ready at 7am.  At 7am, we were told it would be ready at 7:30am.  We had to disembark at 7:45am.  Needless to say, we NEVER got our pictures (they refunded the money...but that was it.  They barely apologized.  People were down there all wanting pictures; it was chaotic and really put a damper on our experience not having any of the fabulous photos!  Norwegian MUST put a better process in place.  This was catastrophic as far as I am concerned.

We are cruising the Getaway in January--our first time on NCL--and excited to try Free Style Cruising! Did you have a long wait for a table in MDR?

Did you get any photos? My friend had a picture done on a disney cruise and she lost it getting off the ship so she called them and they printed a new one and sent it to her.

We love the freestyle dinning! They should offer to send it you. I would be very upset. I'm sorry that happened.
