Review summary

Norwegian Getaway Nickle and Dime you (on ship purchases extremely expensive), cabin issues, extremely over crowded, a lot of music noise. Music performances right in front of the guest services desk (doesn't make sense), crew members unfamiliar with the ship, low quality of food being served, Norwegian not well organized, etc.. we couldn't wait to get off the ship when we returned to Florida.

rescue4life--there is so much to love on this ship! The fabulous buffet--the largest I've ever seen at sea, O'Sheehan's Irish Pub--a 24 hour complimentary restaurant with a full menu, the Waterfront, Spice H2O, and on and on! Fabulous ship!

Sorry. I have never hated a cruise so much I 'could not wait to get off'. I hope I ever do feel that way.

My most favorite ship, also, teresaeveretthancock! Going back on her this January! Never felt Nickel and Dimed! Noticed that much more on my RCCL cruises. And the food was fabulous! But a cruise is subjective---I just can't wrap my head around how your experience about EVERYTHING was the complete opposite of mine!
