Review summary

Did enjoy getting away with family. The delay in getting on the ship was a hassle. The muster was really just a mess....no one was really in charge and we could not hear anything going on. The free style dining was not my style and food was not great....as I had expected. All in all...would give the cruise a C/D grade

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Embarkation was a mess....ship was delayed due to transatlantic sailing. Just not how we expected things to go.f

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Was very disappointed with the food on the Getaway. First time on Norweigan and expected better. Even the “special” restaurants did not deliver. Not a fan of the free style dining.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Due to scheduling restaurants missed some activities. Also finding areas of this ship very hard. Places were hidden in corners out of sight.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Really enjoyed the show “Million Dollar Quartet”. The comedians were pretty good for the most part....one was not so hot! Loved seeing the Cirque Steam show.

Service and Staff

So so...not as friendly as I have found on other ships

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Ship was clean. However did not like design...would like a “main gathering place” where one could sit and enjoy shopping, eating or people watching. I know not many ships have this, but have been on a Royal Caribbean ship that did, really enjoyed it. Never did find a bakery on the Getaway...was hidden in some corner, I was told by a staff member.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was great. Loved the size of the bathroom. Much nicer than I have had on other cruise lines.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

Did the zip line...had a blast. The animal viewing was so so. Went to beach...a little concerned when we saw police standing guard

Harvest Caye, Belize

4 out of 5
Was beautiful....rented a private cabana. The lagoon we kayaked in was a bit disappointing. Thought we would see wildlife and be out further. However we just had a circle to go around in. The wildlife encounter was a bit disappointing also. Could do with less shopping.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico
