Review summary

This was my first 7 day cruise on the Norwegian, we choose the Getaway.  We have been big fans of Royal Caribbean, it's hard to say that now.  The Getaway,  what a beautiful ship. excellent food (you don't need to up grade the restaurants unless you just want to try them), ship is kept clean, very friendly staff and dancing, wow dancing up the wazoo.   No matter what kind of dancer you are,  there is a venue for you.  There were at least three different groups playing every evening.  There are group dance lessons taught on the ship , so not to worry if you don't dance.  Personally I don't like the pool, I think it is too small, but that's my opinion.  Up grade to the beach club or spa, that will cure the crowds.   There are more pay for venues on NCL, but don't buy them if you don't want or have a need for them, easy as that.   All in all we are booked for our fifth cruise on NCL this year, pricing is great, service is great, what more can we ask for.  See you on our next cruise.

Oh yes the food is good in most venues but it does not compare to the specialty restaurants

Good to hear your great review! I will be cruising the Getaway in January, and it is my first with NCL. We never do anything that costs extra over our initial fee, so I'm glad to hear the complimentary food is as good.
