Review summary

have t start by saying that this is my second time on this ship (Getaway) and it was total disappointment comparing to the first time. Not just for me but for my entire party of 7. They were "breaking in" a new cruise director, who happened to be Chinese and barely spoke any English. Her and her staff barely had any interaction with the passengers as they usually do. I've been on 6 Norwegian cruises and have to say that the cruise director and their staff usually play an important role to connect with the passengers to ensure everyone has an awesome time. Missed a few activities because there were no announcements throughout the day. Spoke to a few of the workers and they were tired because they were short staffed and they had to do more in their 10-12 hour shifts. The Bliss bar only played Raggae music and had only undesirable people there every night and to top off they were even smoking pot right in the club. Yes, they got busted and arrested once we returned but nothing was done throughout the cruise to keep these guys out of the Bliss. Again, total disappointment. Not saying for Norwegian altogether but for the Getaway.

Can't believe that Norwegian owns this Island and we had to pay for food and drinks. Worst of all, very expensive. Almost $12 for a pina colada.
